Rep Power: 23 | Ballast Information: PCB in ballasts – Polychlorinated biphenyls have not been used in magnetic ballasts for almost twenty years. PCBs were used in magnetic rapid start ballasts typical of the US manufacturing style. The tanning industry worldwide primarily employs magnetic choke ballasts which do not employ the same technology, nor do they employ PCBs. Every Tanning Salon needs to be on a Professional level, and we need to get the positive message out! Kent |
