500-Lumen Fluorescent Emergency Ballast

500-Lumen Fluorescent Emergency Ballast

This 500-lumen fluorescent emergency ballast is designed to provide backup illumination from compatible fluorescent fixtures during a power outage. It is a practical retrofit component for commercial buildings that still use fluorescent lighting and need emergency egress support without replacing the entire fixture.

The compact ballast design supports common commercial applications such as offices, schools, retail spaces, corridors, stairwells, utility rooms, and public facilities. During normal operation, the fixture operates from building power. When power is interrupted, the emergency ballast helps keep the connected lamp operating for emergency visibility.
