ATTENTION SPECIFIERS:
APPLICATION NOTES
Perceived vs. Actual Light
An important aspect of lighting control is the difference between
measured and perceived light levels. For example, a light
dimmed
to 10% output is perceived by the eye as 32%. A light dimmed to
1% is perceived as 10%
. This “Square Law” phenomenon takes
advantage of how the human eye functions to achieve significant
energy savings, while improving the visual environment.
SPECIFICATIONS
Rapid-Start Sockets Must Be Used
Rapid-start type sockets must be used to provide proper lamp
filament heating and dimming operation.
Quality knife-edge sockets are recommended for new and
retrofit applications to ensure positive lamp/pin contact.
Mixing Ballast and Lamps per Circuit
For optimal dimming performance, do not mix ballast lamp types
(T4, T5, T8, or T12) on a given circuit. Mixing lamp lengths
(48”, 36”, 24” etc.) within a single lamp type is permissible and
will not diminish dimming performance.
Do not mix ballast types on a given circuit (i.e., mix Hi-lume with
Eco-10 or Tu-Wire).
Number of Ballasts per Control
For maximum number of ballasts per control, divide control’s
current capacity by the individual ballast current. Certain
controls also have specified number of ballast maximums.

Power vs. Light
The nearly linear relationship between fluorescent light levels
and power consumption saves energy proportionately as lights
are dimmed.

ATTENTION CONTRACTORS
AND ELECTRICIANS:
INSTALLATION
Ballast/Socket Leads
Lead lengths from electronic dimming ballast to socket must not
exceed 7’ (2m) for T8 linear lamps.
Lamp Mounting
Many fluorescent lamp sockets are available with mounting slots
to vary the height of the lamp away from the grounded metal
surface. Use these slots to get the outside edge of the lamp to
be 1/2"+/-1/4" away from the grounded metal surface.
Having a fluorescent lamp too close to the grounded metal will
make the minimum intensity too low and will reduce lamp life.
Having a fluorescent lamp too far away from the grounded
metal will make the lamp flicker or not turn on at all.
Wiring and Grounding
All wiring from the dimming control to the Hi-lume® Ballasts is
Class 1 and may be run together in the same conduit.
Ballast and lighting fixture must have a positive electrical
contact with ground.
Ballasts must be installed per national and local electrical codes.
ATTENTION FACILITIES MANAGER:
PERFORMANCE
Lamps Must Be Seasoned
New Lamps must be operated (“seasoned”) for 100 hours at
full light output prior to dimming to achieve proper dimming
performance and ensure average rated lamp life.
Ballast Operating Temperature
Ballast case temperature must not exceed 75°C at any point on
ballast.
SERVICE
Replacement Parts
Use replacement parts with exact Lutron model numbers.
Consult Lutron if you have any questions.
Further Information
Ballasts for other lamp types and voltages may be available;
consult Lutron for further information.
For further information on dimming ballast applications, consult
Lutron’s Ballast Fluorescent Dimming Systems Guide (publication
366-606).
