Emergency fluorescent ballast for single

The Bodine B50CT provides 90 minutes of emergency illumination for one or two Type A TLED lamps with a maximum combined load of 55 watts. It operates on an input voltage range of 120 to 277 volts AC and delivers initial output between 730 and 1400 lumens during backup operation.

Limited to 55 watts total lamp load

The unit supports a maximum bulb wattage of 55 watts across the connected lamps, which restricts use to lower-output fixtures. Emergency duration is fixed at 90 minutes followed by a mandatory 24 hour recharge period before the next event, so it cannot sustain extended outages.

Low-profile steel housing fits tight plenums

The galvanized steel case measures 13 inches long by 2 inches wide by 1 inch high, allowing installation in shallow ceiling voids. Wiring must accommodate the 120 to 277 volt AC input and the designated lamp leads; incorrect lamp type or exceeding the 55 watt limit will prevent proper operation.

Questions about this item

Should I choose this ballast for a single lamp or a two-lamp fixture?

It supports one or two fluorescent lamps, so match the ballast to the fixture's lamp count.

What does the 730 to 1400 lumen range mean once the unit is installed?

During a power failure the ballast drives the lamp at 730 to 1400 initial lumens for the 90-minute emergency period.

How does the 120-277 V input affect which circuits I can use?

The wide 120 to 277 V AC input lets the ballast operate on standard 120 V or 277 V commercial circuits without rewiring.
