Zipline™ is a linear fluorescent fixture that reduces installation time and eliminates wiring errors. The system utilizes an integrated ballast and lampholder in a self-contained assembly unit that decreases the number of components and wiring points necessary to retrofit existing fixtures for use with energy-efficient lamps. The system mounts into the existing lighting fixture, bypassing the need to install and wire ballast and socket components separately.
