PHILIPS INTRODUCES INDUSTRY FIRST 250W
PULSE START METAL HALIDE MAGNETIC BALLAST WITH 90% EFFICIENCY, MEETS NEW
Relative to Philips’ existing 200W ballast option with 88% ballast
efficiency, the optimized design of Philips’ new 250W PS XEE ballast with
90% ballast efficiency meets California Title 20 requirements and offers specifiers
and end-users a cost-competitive solution that provides more light, enables more
lamp options, and assures better lamp availability. Energy-efficient, cool operating,
and long-lasting, Philips’ 250W PS XEE ballast provides luminaire manufacturers
with a solution that fits into their existing fixtures without modification (as
may be required by the 3X4-sized 200W alternative). Philips’ 250W PS XEE ballast additionally carries
a UL BTR code of “A”, allowing easy substitution.
The Philips Advance 250W PS XEE magnetic pulse start metal halide
ballast allows professional lighting users to optimize their 250W pulse start lighting
systems, reduce energy consumption and costs, and promote sustainable design
while meeting the California Title 20 requirements.
