Instant light
High-bay lighting luminaire for industrial and commercial applications features four 54-watt or four 80-watt T5/HO linear fluorescent lamps to provide instant on, high CRI, and 95% lumen maintenance. In addition to providing instant light, the Industra 5 FTV also features a dimming option for multi-level lighting controls, which can save energy. According to the manufacturer, the luminaire lowers maintenance costs by providing 20,000 plus hours of lamp, compared to its peers. The light can be both chain and surface mounted for lower installation costs. Reflector finishes are available in Miro 4 and specular aluminum.

Multi-task ballast
High-efficiency electronic ballasts for T8 fluorescent lighting systems will operate one or two 17-watt, 25-watt, 28-watt, 30-watt, or 32-watt T8 fluorescent lamps. The Optanium Programmed-Start (PS) ballasts come in two versions: a standard light output design with a .88 Ballast Factor and a lower-watt design. The instant-start ballasts feature a 0F starting on standard T8 lamps and 20-foot remote mounting/tandem wiring capabilities. An auto-restrike capability feature further eliminates the need to reset power mains after failed lamps are replaced. Both standard and low-watt Optanium PS ballasts are available for the operation of one or two lamps on 120-volt and 277-volt systems. Three- and four-lamp versions will be available soon. Best for long-burning applications, including retail, warehouse, and offices.

Computer-mapped lighting
Digital lighting system features AddressPro ballasts, which allow multiple light sources, including fluorescent, halogen, and incandescent, to be controlled as one system. The ballasts work with T5 and T8 linear fluorescent and 13W-42W compact fluorescent. The system allows these light sources to be individually addressed or grouped into zones. AddressPro digital training module, an online training tutorial on how the system works, is available at www.universalballast.com.

Hotel illumination
Expanded line of compact fluorescent lamps (CFL) affords hotel operators an opportunity to fill every guestroom light socket with energy-efficient lamps, and cut energy costs by as much as 77%, according to the manufacturer. The new line of products is made up of the 15/25/32-watt three-Way Spiral, the 15-watt R30, and the 26-watt R40 Dimming Reflectors, the Mini Biax, and the Mini A-Line lamps. The 15/25/32-watt three-Way Spiral CFL offers maximum lumen output of 2,200 lumens, 2,700K, and 82 CRI and produces light levels that equal or exceed levels produced by a standard 50/100/150-watt three-way incandescent lamp. The 15-watt R30 and 26-watt R40 Dimming Reflector both provide a flicker-free instant start in less than one second in temperatures as low as 5F. The Mini Biax and Mini A-Line CFLs offer a 15,000-hour rated life. The 42-watt Spiral CFL combines the equivalent light output of a 150-watt incandescent lamp (2,650 lumens) with the smallest possible CFL (6.4 inch) The Spiral CFL has a 10,000-hour life, enabling hotels to save as much as $108 per lamp over the life of the lamp versus the 150-watt incandescent.
