Product Overview
Rapid Start Ballasts
These ballasts provide smooth starting to Rapid Start lamps —
reaching full brightness in about two seconds without the use of
starters. They have built-in filament windings that energize the
low-voltage cathodes in Rapid Start lamps. Because electrodes are
continuously heated, less voltage is required to strike an arc
through a Rapid Start lamp than a Slimline one.
Ballasts for T12/T10 Applications
Universal offers a wide variety of T12 and T10 ballasts to operate
1 - 3 Rapid Start lamps. This lamp/ballast system provides
smooth, virtually instant starting without the use of starters (30and 40-watt T12 models and 40-watt T10 models are available).
Models for U-lamp applications are also available. UNIVERSAL®
PLUS models are available for use where maximum efficiency is
required. These "hybrid" type ballasts in corporate an electronic
switch which disconnects power to the lamp cathodes after
start-up, saving additional energy.
Ballasts for T8 Applications
Universal's T8 product offering includes models for F17, F25,
F32 and F40 type T8 lamps. This product line features our
OcTek™ electromagnetic ballast models. These models are low
initial cost energy efficient options for use with F32T8,
4 foot Rapid Start lamps. These models are available in several
variations, including full, medium, low light output and hybrid
versions (OcTek™ Plus). These models maximize energy savings
and provide effective choices when retrofitting 4-foot T12 fixtures.
Slimline Ballasts
Our Slimline models are designed for use with single-pin Slimline
lamps. They do not require the use of starters. These ballasts
deliver a high starting voltage to the lamps, enabling an arc to
strike through the tube without preheating the lamp cathodes
(which are specially constructed to withstand the shock).
