Philips Bodine compact fluorescent emergency ballasts (FEBs) are designed specifically for compact lamp fluorescent fixtures. They allow you to easily covert new or existing fluorescent fixtures into code-compliant emergency lighting.
The emergency ballasts operate most 2- and 4-pin compact lamps, including twin-tube, double twin-tube (quad), triple twin-tube, long compact and 2D lamps, and they are compatible with electronic, standard, energy-saving and dimming AC ballasts, as well as with energy management systems such as occupancy detectors and photo sensors. Philips Bodine compact FEBs are UL Listed for factory or field installation and provide at least 90 minutes of code-required emergency lighting.

Because of environmental concerns about mercury and the need to comply with standards set by the Environmental Protection Agency, most lamp manufacturers have reduced the mercury content in their products. However, low mercury lamps, while environmentally responsible, have created challenges to emergency lighting, and the lower the mercury content, the more of a challenge they become.
Mercury affects the starting and operating characteristics of lamps in both emergency and normal modes. Philips Emergency Lighting has observed problems such as reduced lumen output and improper color rendering when low mercury compact lamps, paired with fluorescent emergency ballasts, operate in the emergency mode with a DC output. Any emergency ballast that runs a compact lamp with DC could be subject to these issues.
In response to problems associated with low mercury compacts and emergency lighting, Philips Emergency Lighting introduced a line of fluorescent emergency ballasts compatible with low mercury lamps. Our green product line makes it easy for buildings to “go green” without compromising emergency lighting requirements.
