Hi-lume 3D is a high-performance, energy-efficient, digitally addressable dimming ballast for
demanding architectural applications. Hi-lume 3D is the world’s first fluorescent dimming ballast
that dims lights to 1% or less for T8 lamps. With Hi-lume 3D you get the highest performance
fluorescent dimming with the same efficiency as non-dimmable ballasts.
Highest performance dimming to 1%
EcoSystem® digital link or 3-wire controlled
Environment
•
Sound rating: Class A
•
Minimum lamp starting temperature 10º C (50º F)
•
Maximum ballast case temperature 75º C (167º F)
Mounting
•
Ballast mounts using two screws (or sheet metal
feature and one screw) within a fluorescent fixture
•
Ballast is grounded via a mounting screw to
the fixture
•
Lutron and NEMA® recommend sockets complying
with IEC 60400. Sockets must have a UL mark
as well. Use rapid start sockets, not instant
startsockets.
•
Terminals accept 16-18 AWG (0.75 to 1.5 mm
2
)
solid copper or tinned stranded wire
Wiring
•
EcoSystem digital link: Hi-lume 3D ballasts
require 4 wires plus Ground (E1, E2, Constant Hot
and Neutral); one 16-18 AWG solid copper Class 1
or Class 2 wire per terminal
3-Wire: Hi-lume 3D ballasts require 3 wires
plus Ground (Dimmed Hot, Switched Hot and
Neutral); one 16-18 AWG solid copper Class 1 wire
perterminal
•
The 16 AWG control wire must not exceed 900 ft,
and the 18 AWG must not exceed 550 ft; maximum
ballast-to-lamp-socket lead length is 7 ft (2 m) for
T8, T5 and T5 HO linear lamps, and 3 ft (1 m) for T5
twin-tube lamps
•
Ballast is grounded via case
•
For control wiring diagrams, see pg. 68, and for
lamp wiring diagrams, see pg. 78.
Features
•
Industry-leading ballast efficacy of up to 100
lumens per watt
•
Broadest dimming range: continuous, flicker-free
dimming down to 0.7% of full light output for T8
lamps, 1% for T5 and T5 HO lamps, and 5% for
T5 twin-tube and T5 HO 80 W lamps
•
The EcoSystem digital link supports up to 64
digital ballasts, 64 occupancy sensors, 16 daylight
sensors, and 64 wallstations or IR receivers
•
The PowPakTM dimming module with EcoSystem
supports 32 EcoSystem ballasts or drivers,
9 Pico
® wireless controls, 6 occupancy/vacancy
sensors and 1 daylight sensor
•
EcoSystem digital link allows for re-zoning without
rewiring, and can be wired as Class 1 or Class 2—
perfect for retrofit and new construction
•
Sensors cannot connect directly to the
Hi-lume 3D ballasts
•
Communicates with wired or wireless sensors and
controls via compatible device
•
Line-voltage miswire protection of EcoSystem link
•
Slim-profile design
•
Ballasts maintain consistent light output for different
lamp lengths, ensuring fixture-to-fixture uniformity
•
Lamps turn on at any dimmed level without going
to full brightness
•
100% performance-tested, including burn-in at
the factory
Specifications
•
Total Harmonic Distortion (THD): less than 10%
•
Power factor greater than .95
•
Ballast factor equal to 1.0 or 1.17 for T8 lamps
•
Ballast factor equal to 1.0 for T5 lamps
• Frequency of operation greater than 42 kHz
•
Factory-tuned ballast factors available to customize
the ballast for different applications
For system compatibility information, see pg. 12.
