Your electrical company has been awarded a big contract to retrofit the emergency fluorescent lighting in City Hall. You open up one of the older T12 fixtures and find a Bodine model B60U. You do a google search and call your go-to vendors but they all say its been D-Listed! Lucky for you, we got you covered with the BDL60U 700 lumen universal voltage emergency ballast.
Bodines R&D teams have made significant changes to the older B60U, employing the latest digital technology into a shiny red case thats also not bad to look at. The BDL60U is compatible with newer energy-saving CFL and linear fluorescent AC ballasts as well as older electromagnetic models. It also has end-of-lamp life (EOL) time delay circuits which prevents the AC ballast from shutting down when the bulbs lose power during brief power delays or hiccups in the grid.
