Description of Service

Light ballasts are the primary electric component of fluorescent light fixtures and are generally located within the fixture under a metal cover plate. Light ballasts produced prior to 1979 commonly contained PCBs. Many of the fluorescent light fixtures present in today’s facilities are beginning to see the end of their effective lifespan. As increasing numbers of polychlorinated biphenyls containing light ballasts fail, businesses will have to continue to evaluate the liability associated with potential employee exposure, adverse environmental impact, or increased regulatory oversight.
