11 DC Screw-in Compact Fluorescent Ballasts & Tubes

Everything priced on this page is in stock

We ship every weekday.

These low voltage dc compact fluorescent lights
are very popular for alternative energy systems,  
in back-up lighting, industrial, marine / boating
applications and are gaining popularity for use in
cabin / fishing huts as well as updating marine
applications.
 
12 volt d.c. ballast with screw-in base.                        12 volt d.c. ballast comparison.
The center of the base is Positive and these are protected
against damage in case they are connected backwards.
The color of the front may be different than shown.

12, 24, 32 - 36 & 48 volt d.c. screw-in ballasts by Light It Technologies of
Montana.
These high quality electronic ballasts allow you to use conventional
SE, TE or DE fluorescent tubes in a regular screw-in light fixture
and operate them from 12 or 24 volt d.c.
The 32/ 36 and 48 volts d.c. models are available in the high watt
DE/TE type only.
Extremely energy efficient and rated at up to 50,000 hour life span
on the ballast.
These ballasts can handle different wattages of tubes (within their
power output rating) but only use the appropriate amount of power
for the tube that is being used.  
You can see by the picture above the difference between the two
types of ballasts.
We offer the ballasts and tubes separately so you can choose the
combination that fits your needs.
Will operate down to -30 degrees F.
Made in the U.S.
Dimensions for both ballasts:
diameter: 2", body length: 2-5/16", overall length: 3-1/4"
These inverter ballasts are radio frequency interference
suppressed.

incandescent lights please click onto the following link:

32 or 36 ballast for 13 to 18 watt DE or TE tubes
These ballasts can operate on either 32 or 36 volt
battery system.
An excellent choice for use with systems being charged
by early 32 volt wind generators as well as for use with
either 36 volt fork-lifts or boats with a 32 volt battery system.
A number of boats, made both here and in Europe during the
1970's and 80's, have 32 volt d.c. systems.
These are custom made for us by LIT and the lead time can
run four to eight weeks.
Because of this we will show our daily inventory so you can
plan for your project.   
Currently we have 19 of these in stock.

( LIT - BASE  32-36 )                                    $ 30.00 each

emergency lighting for those with 48 volt inverter-based
systems.
A quick addition to your battery room.
Many of these are used in telecommunications manufacturing applications.
Currently we have 29 of the 48 volt models in stock.

Compact fluorescent tubes:

Color Temperatures:
27 K = warm light similar to conventional tungsten light bulbs.
41 K = cool white, less color than the 27K and the most popular
             color temperature
65 K = most closely approximates sunlight with almost a faint tinge
             of blue, a good choice where the most perceivable amount
             of light is needed, very popular with folks who raise poultry
             and for outdoor lighting - we do not recommend the 65K for
             a bare bulb application at eye level
Tube Shapes:
SE =    A single "U" shaped tube - the base is flat with four pins in line.
DE =    Two "U" shaped tubes - the base has a rectangular extension
             with four pins around it.
TE =    Three "U" shaped tubes - the base has a rectangular
             extension with four pins around it.
Tube Applications:
The TE tube is shorter than a DE tube of the same wattage.
This helps in areas where you need the most amount of light
output in a small space.
The DE tubes produce slightly more light output than TE tubes of the
same wattage.  

For specials on SE tubes please click onto the following link:

 
SE fluorescent tube - 13 watt. Please notice the in-line pins and flat base.
     13 watt (900 lumen) SE fluorescent tubes (color rated at 41K which is cool - white).
     The cooler color light has a higher perceived light output than the warm
     tubes.
