LGHTING SYSTEM Section 16500 15-1207 7) Test reports shall clearly identify lighting fixture by manufacturer and catalog number. These catalog numbers shall cross-reference between report and catalog number of fixture. B. Samples: Shop inspection when requested by Engineer or Architect shall consist of examination of a representative sampling of fixtures and fixture parts required for the building project. a. Light fixture shall be supplied with a cord and plug, fully lamped and ballasted for a complete working sample. b. Any action taken as result of shop inspection must be construed as final acceptance of fixtures, which must fully meet all contract requirements after installation in project and at time of final inspection. PART 2 - PRODUCTS 2.1 MATERIALS: A. Electronic Fluorescent Ballasts: 1. Fluorescent lamp ballasts shall be electronic type instant start, high power factor greater than 90%, crest factor < 1.4, and UL listed class P with thermal protection. Input current third harmonic shall not exceed 10%, total harmonic distortion not to exceed 32% per ANSI recommendations. Ballast Factor shall be minimum 0.71 and Ballast Efficacy Factor (BEF) shall be minimum 1.4. 2. The ballast shall be solid state electronic design consisting of rectifier, high frequency inverter and power control and regulation circuitry. No PCB's shall be used. It shall be designed to withstand line transients per IEEE 587, category A, and shall meet FCC Rules and Regulations part 18, for class "A" operations. Manufacturer shall be Advanced Transformer Co. type Mark V or equal. 3. Ballast sound rating shall be equivalent to G.E. sound rating "A" and shall be quiet operating. Ballasts found to be noisy after installation, in opinion of Architect, shall be removed and replaced at no increase in contract price. Ballast(s) in luminaire recessed in a fire rated ceiling shall be approved for such use. 4. Dimming Ballasts: Electronic dimming ballasts and controls shall be produced by the same manufacturer. a. Dimming shall be smooth and continuous without flicker down to 10% light output. Ballasts shall be capable of striking lamps at any light level without first flashing to full light. Different lamp lengths of the same lamp type shall dim evenly when controlled by the same dimmer. One- and two -lamp ballasts shall dim evenly when controlled by the same dimmer. b. Ballasts shall be inaudible in a 27 dB room ambient throughout the dimming range. Ballasts must comply with FCC Part 18 configurations and shall not interfere with other properly installed electrical equipment. Ballasts shall be UL listed, Class P and meet ANSI C62.41 (IEEE Publication 587, category A) standards for surge protection. Ballast and controls shall be Lutron Hi-Lume (or equal). 3
