Howard Lighting 2 Lamp T8 Standard Factor Ballast EP2/32IS/MV/MC

Hassle-free maintenance and upkeep

In designing our ballasts, one of our key requirements was to develop a product that performed and was virtually hassle-free to maintain. With fully parallel lamp
operation, if one lamp fails, all of the others in the fixture remain in full function making maintenance minimal. And the anti-striation control on our ballasts eliminates
the maintenance issues caused by striating lamps. The overall result is exactly what you’ve grown to expect from Howard – another one of our best-in-class ballasts that can significantly reduce the maintenance frustration your customers may be experiencing from the competition.

Tested and proven
With Howard Lighting Products, you can rest assured that we won’t put our name on it until it surpasses our high standards for quality, value, and performance. For that reason, every ballast manufactured at Howard is tested and proven beyond UL requirements before it is shipped to you. In fact, we thoroughly test each product so that you can expect a top-quality product straight from the box. Plus, all of our ballasts are backed by a 5-year limited warranty and carry a complete system warranty when your customers use Howard T8 lamps (60 months for ballasts and 30 months for lamps).
