Lutron Ballasts Products >> Tu-Wire® 5%

Retrofit and small-space applications can benefit from the ease of installation offered by Lutron Tu-Wire dimming ballasts. Tu-Wire ballasts offer high performance 100% to 5% dimming for linear and compact fluorescent lamps. Tu-Wire ballasts require only two wires (hot and neutral) for power and control. Lutron offers a wide range of compatible 2-wire controls, making Tu-Wire a perfect choice for many applications. Additionally, one-lamp T4 models have been designed to meet FCC Part 18 consumer requirements.
