How can I get FUTEK lighting product catalogs and price lists?
1. Where can I find information about FUTEK UNIVERSAL electronic ballast system?> With FUTEK’s new line of UNIVERSAL ( UN family ) ballasts, lighting systems save more energy, become more adaptable, and deliver optimal lamp performance. UN ballasts can virtually “read” the incoming voltage and adapt automatically to any voltage from 108V to 280V. Multi-Voltage Control (MVC) means fewer models handling more jobs, which reduces inventory requirements. UN high efficiency design results in ultra-cool operation, providing AC energy savings during peak demand periods. UN is the only full line of T8 ballasts with a UL type CC anti-arc rating. 2. Why do fluorescent lamps need a ballast? Fluorescent light bulbs need a ballast because they use a gas to create light. When the gas is excited by electricity, it emits invisible ultraviolet light that hits the white coating inside the fluorescent bulb. The coating changes the ultraviolet light into light you can see. (Because fluorescent bulbs don’t
