where relative light output and power input shall be determined by manufacturers'
testing in accordance with the standard ANSI C 32.2-1984.
(2) "Director� means director of the governor's office of energy assistance.
(3) "Fluorescent lamp ballast� or "ballast� means a device designed to operate fluorescent
lamps by providing a starting voltage and current, and limiting the current during
normal operation, but does not include devices that have a dimming capability or are
intended for use in ambient temperatures of zero degrees Fahrenheit or less, or have
a power factor of less than .60 for a single F40T12 lamp.
(4) "F40T12 lamp� means a tubular fluorescent lamp that is a nominal forty (40) watt lamp
with a forty-eight (48) inch tube length and one and one-half (1½) inches in diameter.

(8) "Nominal input voltage� means an input voltage within plus five percent (5%) or minus
five percent (5%) of a specified value.
(9) "Nominal lamp watts� means the wattage at which a lamp is designed to operate and
for which it is therefore rated.
(10) "Relative light output� means the test ballast light output divided by a reference
ballast light output using the same reference lamp and expressing the value as a percent.
These measurements are made at the ballast's rated primary voltage.
