Abstract

A major retail chain encountered problems, including early lamp failure, with some of its dimming fluorescent lighting systems. This issue of Lighting Diagnostics summarizes the problems encountered and the evaluation and findings of the NLPIP Lighting Diagnostics team sent to investigate. The investigators determined several problems relating to the lamps, ballasts, luminaires, lamp holders, and the installations themselves.
