Comparison between the ATBS and ATBM: BOTTOM
|
Basically a larger clone of the ATBS on the left aside from the obvious 3 glass optics instead of one. Note the cluster of three glasses are smaller than the single one. The cluster of three is actually one piece too. And one thing I noticed was the NEMA tag on the 70W has square corners and not rounded like the 20W.

@ Ian: The wattage label lets them know what wattage light to replace it with when it craps out. The "LED" part seems unnecessary though. Pretty obvious it's an LED by looking at the LED diodes on the bottom lol. But I guess adding the "LED" helps reinforce that the fixture is an LED for the less-knowledgeable lol. These are both 0-10V dimmable too, so they use less watts when dimmed. I don't have a 0-10V dimmer but I can flip between 100% and the lowest setting using a standard toggle switch across the gray and violet ballast leads. Open switch (OFF) makes the light 100%. Closed switch (ON) makes the light dim to its lowest setting, which is 10% for the larger unit and I believe either 1, 5, or 10% for the smaller one; forget which... Basically the small one is a nightlight at the lowest setting and the larger one is about as bright as a 60W incandescent at lowest lol.
@ Model25fan: yeah these are nice lights and rock solid too. Very well constructed. The paint is way beefier than what is on their cobraheads too. Hopefully it lasts!
