SYLVANIA 21880 FO32/950/48in

Footnotes

• The life ratings of fluorescent lamps are based on 3 hr. burning cycles under specified conditions and with ballast meeting ANSI specifications. If burning cycle is increased, there will be a corresponding increase in the average hours life.
• Approximate initial lumens after 100 hours operation.
• Minimum starting temperature is a function of the ballast; consult the ballast manufacturer.
• The life rating of FO32/700/ECO OCTRON lamps operated on rapid start ballasts is 25,000 hours. The life rating of FO32/700/ECO OCTRON lamps operated on instant start ballasts is 24,000 hours.
• OCTRON lamps should be operated only with magnetic rapid start ballasts designed to operate 265 mA, T-8 lamps or high frequency (electronic) ballasts that are either instant start, or rapid start, or programmed rapid start specifically designed to operate T8 lamps. OCTRON lamps may be operated on instant start or programmed rapid start ballasts with ballast factors ranging from a minimum of 0.71 to a maximum of 1.20 at the nominal ballast input voltage (see ballast specs for details). When OCTRON lamps are operated in the instant start mode, the two contacts (bi-pin lamps) of each rapid start lampholder/socket should be connected to each other or use "shunted" circle I lampholders/sockets for instant start bi-pin lamps. Always disconnect power before servicing installations and wire per the balla schematics and National Electric Code.
