SIGNIFY CANADA LTD. 197756 Fluorescent Ballast Electronic, Multiwatt, Encapsulated 1 Lamps 32 W U-Shaped T8 Fluorescent Lamps 120 - 277 V,

Philips Advance fluorescent electronic and magnetic ballasts are designed and manufactured to engineering standards correlating to an average life expectancy of 50,000 hours of operation at maximum rated case temperature. Since Philips Advance ballasts operate below their maximum case temperature in the majority of applications, increased ballast life can be expected. As a rule of thumb, ballast life may be doubled for every 10°C reduction in ballast case operating temperature. However, there are many variables, such as input voltage, ambient temperature, etc. which affect ballast operating temperatures, and therefore ballast life.
