| Power Consumption: | 5' 50w T8 lamp |
| Working Voltage: | 240-250v AC |
| Cap Type: | Small 2 pin |
| Cap Finish: | Paxolin base |
| Circuit Type: | Leading PF circuit (series capacitor) |
| Comments: | Exclusively rated for the 5ft 50w T8 lamp which was on a leading PF circuit. The 50w lamp runs at a higher voltage than regular five footers, so regular universal switches are unsuitable. Thorn were the only known manufacturer of 50w starters. Soon after the GE takeover, this model was dropped from the range and 50w was included on thier 155/801 6-8ft switches. |
