Experience the benefits of full-range, 100% to 1% fluorescent dimming. Designed to meet the most
demanding lighting requirements, Hi-lume ballasts enable you to provide the ideal visual environment
for any application. The Hi-lume family is extensive, featuring the world’s only 100% to 1% dimming
ballasts for T4 compact fluorescent lamps. Integrating Hi-lume 1% technology into your designs
affords you full control over the lighting in any space.

Highest performance dimming to 1%
3-Wire controlled
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
•
Hi-lume ballasts require 3 wires plus Ground
(Dimmed Hot, Switched Hot and Neutral); one
16-18 AWG solid copper Class 1 wire per terminal
•
Maximum ballast-to-lamp-socket lead length is
7 ft (2 m) for T5 HO linear lamps, and 3ft (1m)
for T4 compactlamps
•
Ballast is grounded via case
•
For control wiring diagrams, see pg. 70, and for
lamp wiring diagrams, see pg. 78.
Features
•
Continuous, flicker-free dimming from
100% to 1%
•
Ballasts maintain consistent light output for different
lamp lengths, ensuring fixture-to-fixture uniformity
•
3-Wire line voltage control for consistent fixture-to-
fixture dimming
• Sensors cannot connect directly to Hi-lume ballasts
