Does anyone have any experience with the Lutron Eco-10 fluorescent
dimming ballast?
It’s been specified for new lighting in my house, and I want to know
if it’s going to be a problem.
Their spec sheet claims it meets Part 18 non-consumer, which doesn’t
sound good.
But when I look at Part 18.305 at
http://www.access.gpo.gov/nara/cfr/waisidx_04/47cfr18_04.html
I see RF field strength limits for emissions outside the ISM bands
(which includes HF for me) and then a separate listing for emissions
from “RF lighting devices” for consumer and non-consumer only for
VHF and above. I don’t know if a ballast is an RF lighting device
– perhaps they mean plasma discharge?
Alternatively, does anybody know of any fluourescent ballasts with good
EMC to specify?
