When you need quality materials, service, and performance at a reasonable price C.N.R. is your one source for ballasts and all your lighting needs.

Fluorescent Ballasts
Available from CNR are both magnetic and electronic ballasts to operate both the traditional lamp sources as well as the latest technologies revolutionizing today's linear fluorescent products. The products we offer in both of these product groups can address nearly every commercial and industrial fluorescent application. Listed below a some of the most common ballasts we offer and their highlighted features or benefits. If you don't see the specific ballast you need please contact us through the customer service button on this site.
Watt Reducer electromagnetic fluorescent ballasts:
  • These premium electromagnetic ballasts offer high efficiency and performance at the lowest initial cost.
  • CBM certified for full light output
  • High power factor ( > .90)
  • Low harmonic distortion (< 20%)
  • Available for T8, T10, T12, slimline and high output lamp applications
GE LIGHTING'S TRIAD ELECTRONIC BALLASTS
Now being marketed by G.E. Lighting the Triad electronic ballast are poised to dominate the marketplace into the next millennium. The Triad family of ballasts offers an array of performance options to simplify and optimize lighting system design. The efficiency of these unique designs combined with the inherent efficiency advantage of high frequency lamp operation can add up to savings of 40% or more in lighting energy requirements. We have listed here the (RH) reduced harmonics ballast which as the foundation of the electronic ballast market they offer high efficiency and performance with minimal circuit complexity.
  • Instant start for maximum operating efficiency
  • High power factor ( > .90)
  • Low harmonic distortion (< 20%)
  • Available for 1, 2, 3, and 4 lamp applications of 2'-4' T8 lamps
Also available are the (L) low wattage and (HP) high performance models. Very similar in design to the (RH) models, these lower wattage (L) versions reduce T8 light output to levels consistent with the energy saving (34W) T12 lamps with standard magnetic ballasts to achieve maximum energy savings. The (HP) high performance ballasts are designed for applications with unusually stringent power quality requirements. The HP family of ballasts has taken electronic circuit sophistication to `the next level'. For more information on these alternative ballast versions please contact us via the customer service button on this site.

HIGH INTENSITY DISCHARGE BALLASTS
In an effort to continue our tradition of offering only the very finest products available we have selected Magnetek once again as our primary manufacturer.
Magnetek is the most vertically integrated manufacturer of HID ballasts in the U.S.. Magnetek anneals and stamps the steel, builds the starters and capacitors, and manufactures the wire to insure the highest quality product at the most competitive prices. The TEAM (Total Excellence At Magnetek) approach is used to empower associates closest to the product to make decisions that will improve quality and innovation. At C.N.R we ship all HID ballasts in kits making them the easiest to install of any offered in the marketplace. The new design for these kits was developed based on contractors' requirements and preferences. As a result, the kits have numerous unique features that contribute to faster, simpler, and safer installation, as well as superior performance. Some of these innovations and special features are listed below.
  • All core and coil ballast feature color coded wire leads.
  • A floating lead that eliminates need for wire caps. Instead of selecting the one correct lead and wire capping three others, you simply plug in the one lead you need.
  • When a starter is required it is prewired that eliminates a wiring procedure required with other manufacturers' HID ballasts.
  • All core and coil ballasts are designed in accordance with all applicable ANSI specifications.
  • All HID kits are precision wound to insure proper insulation.
  • Manufacturer shall provide written warranty against defects in workmanship, including replacement, for two years from date of manufacture.
