It is expressed as a numerical value typically ranging from 0.70 to 1.2, representing the amount of light a lamp will emit when operated with a specific ballast. The calculation of the ballast factor involves dividing the lumen output of a lamp-ballast combination by the lumen output of the same lamp(s) on a reference ballast. A ballast factor less than 1 indicates that the fluorescent system will produce less light (lumens) compared to the reference ballast, while a factor greater than 1 signifies that it will produce more light.<\/p><div class=\"insert_portfolio_outer_wrapper\"><h3>Get Inspired by Rayzeek Motion Sensor Portfolios.<\/h3><p>Doesn't find what you want?
