A quick fix for greener fixtures

Did you know ballasts can account for up to 20% of the energy consumption for a fixture? These are easy targets when looking for energy efficient lighting.

Ballast efficiency factor (BEF) is the most important consideration when determining the energy efficiency of a ballast. BEF is the ratio of ballast factor, or the light output of a specific lamp-ballast combination, to its input power (in watts). The higher the BEF, the less energy it requires, and the more environmentally friendly it is. Electronic ballasts are generally seen as the most efficient ones on the market today.
