UL listed and CSA certified, these are designed for high light output at low current draw. They offer years of reliable, virtually maintenance-free service. Energy efficient, they are complemented by non-yellowing diffuser lenses, baked white enamel finish, and attractive wood grain trim. Standard fixtures have steel housing. These include standard fluorescent tubes powered by Thin-Lite's highly efficient DC electronic ballasts. 24-volt lights are available on a limited basis and special order only - we do not stock them.

Thin-Lite has a website, at www.thinlite.com. However, it was last updated in 2002, so some information may not be current. The site has no wiring diagrams for ballasts.

What is a Lumen?
The lumen is the unit that quantifies the total amount of light emitted by a source. This unit is typically used to rate the output of lamps. For example, the flame of a candle generates about 12 lumens. A standard 60-watt incandescent lamp is rated at 890 lumens. A 15 watt fluorescent will put out about the same light as a standard 60 watt incandescent bulb.

Ballasts: We have or can get ballasts for almost any Thin-Lite. See our online Webstore for pricing. We also have replacement lenses, ballasts, and tubes for most Thin-Lite fixtures listed there.
