Phase-out of Fluorescent Magnetic T12 Ballast

Convenience store and supermarket store owners looking to re-lamp their walk-in coolers are finding that the old, inefficient magnetic ballasts phase-out compels C-store operators to entertain more efficient alternatives to T12 fluorescent cooler door lighting. Federal efficiency standards regulating fluorescent magnetic T12 ballasts have entered their final phase, effectively eliminating these ballasts from the market, with few exceptions. Starting in 2005 through 2010, efficiency standards created by Department of Energy regulations phased into effect, covering magnetic ballasts for F40T12, F96T12, and F96T12HO lamps

Furthermore, on July 14, 2012, recently enacted DOE regulations will take effect that will also eliminate the T12 lamps. The new DOE rules expand on efficiency rules established by the Energy Policy Act of 1992 by strengthening standards for covered lamp types while also covering 8-ft. T8 lamps, 4-ft. T5 lamps and more wattages of 4-ft. T8 and T12 lamps. The net result, with few exceptions, is a majority of 4-ft. linear and 2-ft. U-shaped T12 lamps, many 8-ft. T12 and T12HO, and some low-color-rendering 4-ft. T8 lamps will be eliminated.
