It is claimed tooffer the lowest power T8 systemon the market with 22watts for a one lamp at 277volts and 40, 62 and 80 wattsrespectively for two, three andfour lamp operation.Advance Transformer has anenergy efficient electronic ballastfor T8 systems in theirOptanium line. The ballast linecomes with a choice of 0.88 or0.78 ballast factor and an independentlamp operation featurethat enables functionallamps to operate if one or moreof the other lamps fail.Advance Transformer hasdeveloped a line of residentialelectronic ballasts designed tooperate 32, 25 or 17-W T8lamps with commercial-gradeefficiencies while meeting thelower EMI emissions requiredfor an FCC Class B Consumerrating.As an advancement in thedevelopment of electronic ballasts,Metrolight has introducedthis HID ballast suitablefor metal halide and HPSlamps. The design is microprocessorbased resulting in asignificant reduction in componentcount and the capabilityto precisely control lamp operation.The ballast can dimmetal halide lamps to 50 percent,including the new ceramicsources, and reduce highpressure sodium down to 10percent of full power.The Wattstopper has combinedmanual and automaticcontrol into a single-gang wallboxswitch. By itself, the AS-100 functions as a simple onoffswitch capable of being configuredinto 3- or 4-way operation.When combined withother automatic controls, theswitch can also turn the connectedloads on or off frombuilding management systems,occupancy sensors, or lightingpanels. It requires no neutral,allowing its use in many retrofitapplications.HIgh PRIORityAlso by Advance Transformeris the ROVR line ofaddressable fluorescent ballasts.This family offers DALIcontrol to T5 HO lamps, allowingindividual dimming controlin automated energy managementsystems. The system isinitially available for F54T5/HOlamps plus a variety of compactfluorescent lamps from 13to 57 watts.When downlighting is usedwith emergency battery packsit requires a test switch that isvisible on the ceiling. Portfoliohas designed the first downlightwith the emergency testswitch tucked up into the trimremoving the visibility on theceiling and the labor to installthe test switch into the ceiling.The feature is available on multiplesizes of fluorescentPortfolio downlights with differentlamp and trim optionsincluding lensed and louveredstyles.. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

The use ofsmall motors in the Sivoia QEDhas resulted in maximum windowcoverage with only 0.75-in. light gaps. The ultra-quietmotors are digitally controlledby local wall-mounted keypads,infrared or central lighting controls.A new flush mount collaradorns the IRIS line of downlightingproducts from Cooper<strong>Lighting</strong>. This accessoryattaches to standard IRIS platformsand eliminates the needfor dedicated flush mounthousings. It is also unique inthat it is infinitely adjustableafter the drywall is installedfrom a 5/8 to 1 in. thickness.Flush collars have been offeredpreviously for pinhole trims butthis new collar also acceptsdownlight and wall wash styles.Access to, and replacementof, luminaires has been facilitatedby Accessmount’s newremovable fixture mountingsystem. By providing luminaireaccess from the floor by a specialtool and connection system,downtimes of luminairescan be reduced and thereplacement of entire fixturescan be accomplished withimproved safety. The systemcan be used with existingequipment as well as new luminaires.Lutron Electronics has marrieda fluorescent ballast withan infrared dimmer in theECO-10 IR product. The dimmeris built into the ballast,simplifying wiring and promotingpersonal control of fluorescentlighting. It also can receivecommands from an externalline-voltage dimmer for interfacingwith building and lightingmanagement systems.
