QUICK CHANGE LAMP BALLAST ASSEMBLY

摘要

Method, apparatus and systems for a quick change lamp ballast assembly for newly manufactured lamp fixtures having the quick change ballast or a retrofit for an existing lamp fixture. The quick change ballast assembly includes a ballast mounting fixture (110) for housing the ballast (300), a wire connector fixture (130) and a mounting plate (120) for mounting the ballast mounting fixture (110). The ballast assembly allows for replacement of a non operating ballast to reduce replacement time and labor costs. In a new lamp fixture, the quick change ballast is thermally isolated from the lamp fixture, which reduces the effects of the waste heat from the ballast, and increase overall building efficiency by reducing the cooling load.
