The Energy Policy Act of 2005 (EPAct) set new efficiency standards for T12 ballasts. In mid 2010 the manufacture of magnetic ballasts for most T12 lamps ceased in compliance with the legislation. Now is the time to take advantage of these energy-saving opportunities and make the switch to the most preferred ballasts in the business — Philips Advance.
