Benefits of T8/ECG systems

Economic and inexpensive lighting at low maintenance costs

  • High efficiency as compared to low-loss ballast systems
  • Almost twice the lamp life as compared to low-loss ballast systems
  • Long ECG life - up to 100,000 hours (with QTP8)
  • Reliable lamp ignition at low temperatures (with QTP8) 

High efficiency as compared to low-loss ballast systems

Efficient, high-frequency lamp operation and noticeable reduction of control gear losses
