COLUMBIA LIGHTING
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about COLUMBIA LIGHTING from 3G Electric.
What voltage ranges do Columbia Lighting troffers support?
Columbia Lighting recessed troffers, such as the LSTE22-35HLG-MPO-EDU and LJT22-40HLG-FSA12-EDU, are rated for 120 to 277 V AC, 50/60 Hz. This dual-voltage capability allows installation in both standard 120 V commercial circuits and 277 V industrial or high-bay applications without additional transformers. Always verify the specific model's voltage rating on the nameplate before installation.
Are Columbia Lighting LED troffers dimmable?
Yes, many Columbia Lighting LED troffers are dimmable. Models like the LJT22-40MLG-FSA12125-EDU and LTRE24-40MLG-RFA-EDU support 0–10 V analog dimming, which is standard for commercial LED drivers. Check the product datasheet for dimming range (typically 10% to 100%) and compatibility with specific dimmer switches. Non-dimmable versions are also available for fixed-output applications.
What is the typical lumen output of a Columbia Lighting 2 ft x 2 ft troffer?
Columbia Lighting 2 ft x 2 ft LED troffers deliver between 3,419 lm and 4,051 lm depending on the model and color temperature. For example, the LJT22-40MLG-FSA12125-EDU produces 3,419 lm at 4000K, while the LJT22-40HLG-FSA12-EDU outputs 4,051 lm at 4000K. These values are suitable for replacing 2-lamp or 3-lamp T8 fluorescent troffers in office and classroom settings.
Can Columbia Lighting wall-mount fixtures replace existing fluorescent wall packs?
Yes, Columbia Lighting CWM series wall-mount fixtures are designed as direct replacements for 2-lamp T8 fluorescent wall packs. Models like the CWM2-40MLSM-DIC-EDU-P4L (2 ft, 2,510 lm) and CWM4-40MWSM-DIC-EDU-P4R (4 ft, 2,909 lm) operate at 120/277 V AC and are dimmable. They mount to standard junction boxes and use the same footprint as traditional fixtures, simplifying retrofits.
What color temperatures are available for Columbia Lighting troffers?
Columbia Lighting troffers are commonly offered in 3500K and 4000K color temperatures. For instance, the LSTE22-35HLG-MPO-EDU is 3500K, while the LJT22-40HLG-FSA12-EDU is 4000K. Some models may also be available in 5000K. Color temperature is fixed per SKU; select the appropriate model for your application's desired ambiance and task requirements.
Do Columbia Lighting LED fixtures require special wiring for emergency backup?
Columbia Lighting offers models with optional emergency backup drivers (e.g., with battery pack). Standard troffers like the LTRE24-40MLG-RFA-EDU do not include emergency backup unless specified. For emergency compliance, order a variant with an integrated battery or use a separate emergency lighting inverter. Always consult local codes for emergency lighting requirements.
