In response to the new Ballast Luminous Efficiency (BLE) standards that will go into effect on November 14, 2014, Halco Lighting Technologies® is pleased to announce that its ballast line is in compliance with those standards.
Stricter BLE standards are based on formulas that involve total lamp arc power and frequency adjustment factors and require that non-residential ballasts have Power Factor (PF) of at least 0.90 and residential ballasts have PF of at least 0.50. Since the announcement in November 2011, Halco has been making the necessary modifications to its ballast line and is pleased to announce that its ballast line meets the BLE requirements.
