Mecury Lighting Switches to Electronic Ballasts
MERCURY LTG PRODUCTS, in their ongoing
effort to provide high efficiency fluorescent fixtures,
announced that certain fixtures will be manufactured
with electronic ballasts as standard. The old style
magnetic energy saving ballasts will no longer be
available in these fixtures.
Two fixtures affected by this are basic items for
Yaun Co.’s inventory: the 2 light 8ft strip and the
2X4 lay-in (“drop-in” for drop ceilings). The
MM296 strip is being replaced by the
MM296ELB120V. The new fixture will still require
the F96T12CWEW lamps as in the past so no change
in lamp stock will be necessary.
The change in the lay-in fixtures will affect your
lamp stock, however. The 35E240 (2 lamp) and
35E440 (4 lamp) will now be the
35E232OCT9AELB and 35E432OCT9AELB. These
will require the F32T8 lamps instead of the
F40CWRSEW (when an order is entered here at
Yaun Co., the correct lamps will automatically show
up on our computer terminal screen) lamps. The
fixtures will have the same prismatic lens as before.
All of the new fixtures are now in stock for
immediate sale. Your customers will reap the savings
in energy usage compared to the magnetic ballast
fixtures.
