Replace your magnetic ballast for the energy efficient T12 electronic ballast

Posted on 2011/06/17 by marcom

T12 Electronic Ballasts by STANDARD

The Office of Energy Efficiency (OEE) implemented a standard to increase the efficiency of fluorescent lamp ballasts and as of November 2006, T12 magnetic ballasts were no longer available in new fixtures.

Under the same standard, T12 magnetic ballasts are no longer available as replacement ballasts as of April 1, 2010. Existing T12 magnetic ballasts cannot achieve the required level of efficiency, and therefore, are no longer available for retrofitting existing fixtures.

Whether you need a ballast to run a four foot T12, Slimline, or High Output lamp, the easiest solution is to convert to T12 electronic ballasts. STANDARD offers a full line of electronic T12 ballasts that exceed the OEE performance requirements and can meet all your needs.

Electronic ballasts are reliable and energy efficient, offering up to 30% energy savings over their magnetic equivalents. They are also lighter in weight, allow for more flexible fixture designs, operate quietly (no more humming), and eliminate lamp flickering. They also have longer warranty periods than the magnetic equivalents.

Newest addition to HID line: CERAPRO ceramic metal halide lamps

Posted on 2011/02/28 by marcom

CERAPRO: Ceramic Metal Halide (CMH) lampsCERAPRO: Ceramic Metal Halide (CMH) lampsCERAPRO by STANDARD is a new line of Ceramic Metal Halide (CMH) lamps which offer an unbeatable combination of performance, reliability, and energy savings. CERAPRO CMH lamps consume considerably less energy and generate less heat than their equivalent halogen lamp without compromising the quality of light. CERAPRO lamps offer not only exceptional performance with a higher CRI but also superior lumen maintenance compared to their halogen counterpart.

This new line of Ceramic Metal Halide lamps requires less lamp maintenance and replacement and offers lower operating cost as these lamps last 3 to 5 times longer than a halogen, in turn putting less waste in landfills.

The new CERAPRO CMH lamps use an advanced one-piece arc tube designed to maximize lamp life and efficiency. With its consistent lamp to lamp colour, the clean white light generated by a CERAPRO lamp makes it ideal for retail applications where large amounts of ambient white light is needed. STANDARD’s CERAPRO lamps are available in a wide variety of shapes and wattages to suit all lighting needs.

Please visit our CERAPRO brochure for more details on the new CMH lamps, or you can check our our e-catalog for our complete product line.
