ATTENTION ELECTRICIANS
AND CONTRACTORS
Ballast/Socket Leads
Lead lengths from ballast to socket must not exceed
7 ft (2 m) for linear lamps (T5, T5HO, T8). Lead lengths
must not exceed 3 ft (1 m) for T5 twin tube lamps.
Lamp Sockets
Lamp sockets as per IEC60400 are required to
ensure positive lamp-pin to socket contact.
Lamp Mounting
Many fluorescent lamp sockets are available with
mounting slots to vary the height of the lamp away
from the grounded metal surface. Having a
fluorescent lamp too close to the grounded metal will
reduce lamp life. Having a fluorescent lamp too far
away from the grounded metal will make the lamp
flicker or not turn on at all. Please note that all of the
lamp heights are measured between the grounded
metal surface and the glass wall of the lamp.
Mounting for T8 Lamps
Mount lamps 1/8 to 3/4 in (3.2 to 19 mm) away from
the grounded metal surface.
Mounting for T5 and T5HO Lamps
Mount lamps 1/16 in to 3/8 in (1.6 mm to 9.5 mm)
away from the grounded metal surface.
Mounting for T5 Twin Tube Lamps
Mount lamps 1/16 in to 1/2 in (1.6 mm to 13 mm) away
from the grounded metal surface.
Ballast Operating Temperature
Ballast case temperature must not exceed 167 °F
(75 °C) at any point on ballast.
Cold Air Flow
Ensur
e that no cold air (from HVAC system, etc) is
blowing across the lamps. Cooling the lamp will cause
performance issues as noted in NEMA LSD-34.

Lamp Seasoning Requirements
Some fluorescent lamp manufacturers recommend
that new fluorescent lamps be operated at full output
(“seasoned”) before they can be dimmed,
to render lamp impurities inert, ensuring proper
dimming performance and average rated lamp life.
Please contact your lamp manufacturer for seasoning
requirements.
