The Nuance 6 electronic ballast provides the flexibility required by modern lighting fixture designs. The size of a match box, the Nuance 6 ballast, will operate a wide range of compact and linear lamps. It can power up 1 or 2 lamps up to a 28W combination. Unlike many other ballasts on the market, the Nuance 6 is designed to operate lamps independently in a 2 lamp application. As a result, if a lamp is defective, the remaining lamp will stay on. It also allows to replace the defective lamp without power interruption. This feature will facilitate lamp maintenance.
