B Classify the type of ballast in each fixture. Note: Use a Ballast Module Fixture-mounted (BMF) in conjunction with a ballast for dimming down to 1% or for lamp types where EcoSystem is not yet available. A BMF connected to any Eco-10 or Hi-lume ballast gives full EcoSystem functionality to that ballast.
