Type of lamps that have the glow bottle starter built into the base of the lamp. Traditionally 2-pin lamps are designed to work with electromagnetic ballasts.
Industry:Lights & lighting
The minimum or maximum allowed voltage allowed into lamp from ballast under varying conditions as specified.
Industry:Lights & lighting
A common way of referring to high efficiency GE T8 family of lamps that perform better than standard T8 lamps. Also refers to the system.
Industry:Lights & lighting
A measure of the distortion of the input current on alternating current (AC) power systems caused by higher order harmonics of the fundamental frequency (60Hz in North America). THD is expressed in percent and may refer to individual electrical loads (such as ballast) or a total electrical circuit or system in a building. ANSI C82.77 recommends THD not exceed 32% for individual commercial electronic ballasts, although some electrical utilities may require lower THDs on some systems. Excessive THDs on electrical systems can cause efficiency losses as well as overheating and deterioration of system componenets.
Industry:Lights & lighting
A private organisation which tests and lists electrical (and other) equipment for electrical and fire safety according to recognised UL and other standards. A UL listing is not an indication of overall performance. Lamps are not UL listed except for compact fluorescent lamp assemblies - those with screw bases and built-in ballasts.
Industry:Lights & lighting
High voltage surges through an electrical system caused by lightning strikes to nearby transformers, overhead lines or the ground. May also be caused by switching of motors or compressors, as well as by short circuits or utility system switching. Can lead to premature ballast failure.
Industry:Lights & lighting

Industry:Lights & lighting
A long, recessed lighting unit, usually installed in an opening in the ceiling.
Industry:Lights & lighting
The 12 digit code on the saleable unit that is used for scanning at the register.
