Your bottom line is looking up. Especially when you look up and see your light fixtures powered by FORTH Empower HID electronic ballasts. The FORTH Empower HID electronic ballast, when used with a pulse start High-Output Metal Halide lamp, is 70% more energy efficient than typical standard HID electromagnetic ballasts with probe-start metal halide lamps. Empower will encourage you to see HID in a whole new light.

The FORTH Empower HID electronic ballast system features superior lumen maintenance and lower ballast losses compared to magnetic HID ballasts. This means huge reductions in energy consumption and lower maintenance requirements as a result of either fewer fixtures required in new installations or lower wattage lamps required in retrofits. In addition, Empower HID ballast is a high-frequency electronic ballast which propels Metal Halide and High Pressure Sodium lamps as a leading energy efficient light source.

Lower Operating Costs*
• 10-point improvement in Lamp Lumen Maintenance allows for lower wattage lamps in retrofits or less fixtures in new construction.
• A high-efficiency electronic ballast with a high-output pulse start lamp delivers 70%
more mean lumens per watt than probe-start metal halide lamps and 20% more mean lumens per watt than pulse-start metal halide lamps.

Application Versatility
• Ballast easily retrofits to HID fixtures.
• Ballast housing design solves thermal, EMI, UL, and mounting concerns.
• Multi-wattage available for 250, 300, 320, 400, or 600 watt Metal Halide or High
Pressure Sodium lamps.
• Runs on 108–285 volts.

Improving Quality of Light
• Significantly reduces lamp color shift typical with HID lamps.
• Virtually eliminates flickering.
• Total Performance System Warranty.

A more efficient lighting system can save you thousands in energy and maintenance costs, shedding some light on your bottom line. Whether it’s reducing the lamp wattage in retrofits due to better mean lumens or reducing your total fixture needs in new installations, Empower ballasts can keep costs down. Here’s why we call this new development the Empower ballast.
