Bodine B50 Fluorescent Emergency Ballast 1-Lamp

The Bodine B50 Fluorescent Emergency Ballast, 1-Lamp, is a compact device designed to power a single fluorescent lamp during a mains outage, enabling emergency illumination in corridors, exits, and similar spaces. It supports a lamp wattage range of 17 to 215 watts and is compatible with common one-lamp configurations using T5/T8/T12 lamps, wired for 120/277V input. In emergency mode, it can deliver up to 1,600 lumens, providing visible light when the AC supply is interrupted. This ballast is part of Bodine's B50 family, a widely used solution for converting standard fluorescent fixtures into compliant emergency lighting without requiring a separate, dedicated emergency fixture. The listing notes that this specific unit is missing its push-button test switch, which is typically used to manually verify operation and test functionality.
