These trigger start T12 magnetic ballasts operate one or two F14T12, F15T12, and F20T12 lamps by heating the filaments before applying the starting voltage. Unlike older preheat start magnetic ballasts, these F14T12 ballasts don't require a starter but there may be a delay of several seconds before the lamps light. When being used for an outdoor application, ensure that the ballast has adequate protection against rain and other weather.

Ballast Factor

When choosing a F14T12 ballast, make sure to consider the ballast factor. This is the measure of how well the ballast is able to produce light from the lamps it powers and is represented by a number between 0.5 and 1.3. T12 magnetic ballasts with a low ballast factor (less than 0.77) operate lamps below the rated wattage and Lumen output to reduce energy usage and extend lamp life. These F14T12 ballasts are better for areas such as lobbies, hallways, and stairwells where you don't need as much brightness. To operate lamps at or near the rated wattage and Lumen output, choose ballasts with a normal ballast factor (0.77 to 1.1). These T12 magnetic ballasts are ideal for offices, stores, board rooms, and other similar applications.
