Advance Introduces Additions to ROVR Family of DALI-Compliant Digital Addressable Ballasts

Rosemont, Ill.-based Advance has expanded its innovative family of ROVR digital addressable controllable fluorescent lamp ballasts to include a new 1-lamp model for T5 fluorescent applications, and 1 and 2-lamp models to support T8 fluorescent applications in a variety of professional settings.

Offered to complement its previous 2-lamp version, the new ROVR ballast for 1-lamp, 54 Watt T5 High Output (T5HO) fluorescent applications is suitable for office and warehouse venues.

ROVR ballasts' interface capabilities and versatility make them ideal for use with the most sophisticated Building Management Systems (BMS). They are especially suitable for users who wish to gain the benefits of automated energy conservation efforts through such techniques as daylight harvesting, load shedding, occupancy pattern tracking, and others. ROVR ballasts and the DALI protocol also give building owners and facility managers the ability to easily track, archive, and evaluate their lighting investments.

Advance's ROVR ballasts support sustainable (green) design as measured by LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Green Building Rating System performance standards and are compatible with controls offered by numerous manufacturers.
