Custom Fluorescent Ballasts

09/22/2008 12:21 PM

Anyone have a lead on a good company that has experience developing and producing customized fluorescent electronic ballasts in large (around 5000 mo.) volumes? We need some features and have design restrictions that aren't normally found on off-the-shelf ballasts.

Unfortunately Advance has already proven itself reluctant to meet our needs. But thanks for trying.

We can help you with it.

5000 units? in fact, its not a large amount for a manufacture.

which features do you prefer? power, power factor or very higher voltage?

one with 2, 4 or more tubes?

whats your budget? how long will you to purchase if its done.
