Howard Lighting 3 Lamp T8 Standard Factor High Efficiency Ballast EP3/32IS/MV/MC/HE

Revolutionizing lighting with high-efficiency technology
Howard Lighting Products has once again revolutionized the lighting industry with our new High-Efficiency (HE) Ballasts. Designed to conserve energy, to be more adaptable, and to deliver optimal performance, we custom-manufacture them to bring you high-efficiency, multi-voltage ballasts for all applications. When your customers ask for the best, think Howard Lighting Products – we’re your one-stopshop for all of your lighting product needs.

High-Efficiency ballasts deliver greater savings
When you consider that energy costs are approximately 80% of the overall cost of light, obtaining the right ballast at the right price is critical. However, by simply switching to our high-efficiency ballasts, your customers could save up to 45% in energy costs as our ballasts produce greater energy savings, provide a more efficient product, and are easier to maintain when compared with standard ballasts.

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).
