What does F40T12CW/IS mean? F30T8 RS ?
* The F does stand for fluorescent.
* The next number indicates the wattage.
* The T number represents the Tube diameter in eights of an inch.
(T12 =12/8ths=1� inches, T8=8/8ths=1 inch).
* The letters deal with specific characteristics of the lamp, in the
examples CW=Cool-White and relates to the color output of the
lamp, IS=Instant-Start and relates to the type of ballast system
it is designed to be used with, and RS=Rapid-Start another type of
ballast system.
ANSI C82. 1, C82.1 1, C82.2 and C82.3. These standards are the basis for
the Certified Ballast Manufacturers certification program. C82.1 covers
electromagnetic ballast performance and C82.11 covers electronic ballast
performance.
