PRODUCT NEWS

Q&A

Can the B50Cold-Pak® operate compact lamps?

No. The B50Cold-Pak® operates only linear lamps. However, Bodine will soon be offering two versions for compact lamps, the B4CF1 Cold-Pak (without conduit) and the B4CF2 Cold-Pak (with conduit).

The GTD™ Generator Transfer Device and GTD20™ Switch Bypass Device offer energy-saving

technology for generator- or central inverter system-supplied emergency lighting. The GTD

works with an auxiliary generator or central inverter system to power fluorescent emergency

lighting regardless of local light switch position (on/off). The device senses the loss of normal

power, bypasses the wall switch and supplies generator power directly to the AC ballast. The

GTD20 also works with an auxiliary generator or central inverter system to power emergency

lighting regardless of local light switch position (on/off). The GTD20, however, handles most

switchable lighting loads (fluorescent, HID, incandescent) up to 20 amps. The GTD is installed

in areas where only one fixture may be needed for egress lighting, such as a classroom or a

stairwell, or in areas where multiple switches are in use. The GTD20 generally is specified when

bypassing one wall switch controlling multiple fixtures, such as might be found in a

long corridor or conference room. Both the GTD and GTD20 can make a big

difference in energy costs by reducing energy waste. The devices eliminate reliance

on night-light circuits and permit lighting to be turned off without jeopardizing

life safety. Because the GTD and GTD20 provide emergency lighting only when

it’s needed, thousands of energy hours can be saved each year. Continuous day- and night-

lighting operation expends 8,760 energy hours annually per fixture (24 hours per day x 365

days per year). Without night-lighting, that number drops to approximately 3,500 (assuming

an average 9.5 operating hours per day), saving users 5,260 energy hours per fixture over

the course of a year! Note that multiple fixtures – up to 20 amps – can be connected to one

GTD20. ��� ������� ��� ��� �����changeable.

DAMP MODELS

Below is a list of damp models with

their dry equivalent. Please note

that we do not yet have separate

spec sheets for damp models. For

now, the spec for the dry equivalent

should be used. All spec information

will be identical with the exception of

suitability for damp locations. Damp

spec sheets will be available soon.

VISION

bodine®

Bodine’s newest LP Series low-profile emergency ballasts not only provide

90 minutes of emergency illumination with the newer T5 fluorescent lamps

but also offer shutdown circuit protection to ensure compatibility with most

electronic ballasts for T5 lamps. Shutdown circuitry is becoming more

prevalent in today’s electronic ballast designs in order to comply with new

ANSI standards regarding the safe handling of end-of-lamp-life conditions.

Bodine’s shutdown circuit protection consists of a time-delayed relay that

controls the reapplication of AC power to the electronic ballast when utility

power resumes. This feature allows for the entire lighting system (AC power,

electronic ballast and emergency ballast) to stabilize before the electronic

ballast attempts to restrike the lamps, which prevents inadvertent triggering

of the internal shutdown circuitry within the electronic ballast. The Bodine

models currently equipped with shutdown circuit protection include the

LP500, LP550 and LP600. If you have any questions about this article

or any other technical issues regarding Bodine emergency ballasts, please

contact us at 888-263-4638.
