Colors include black, white and brass. Yet the lamp puts out over 4,200 lumens of bright, white light that's similar to halogen lighting. The long-life bulbs work singly or in pairs. A 50,000-hour electronic ballast starts the lamp instantly without a hum or flicker. The unit currently is available in black, but other colors will be available early in 1998.
Installation is easy, and the timer can replace any standard single or three-way switch.
Two AA batteries provide backup juice during power failures. Intermatic, Inc., Intermatic Plaza, Dept.
