    Lightbulb 255EXT with PFC uses less power than 250EX

    I was looking at my 255EXT and 250EX and it has big difference in power consumption and even over my MTS250S dose the PFC make that much of a difference?

    MTS250S @ 240V Maximum Inrush Amps (I1MAX) = 36.0A Maximum Operating Amps (I1EFF) = 30.0A WO/PFC

    PT250EX @ 240V Maximum Inrush Amps (I1MAX) = 45.0A Maximum Operating Amps (I1EFF) = 36.0A WO/PFC

    PT255EXT @ 240V Maximum Inrush Amps (I1MAX) = 33.6A Maximum Operating Amps (I1EFF) = 20.0A W/ PFC

    The numbers are not accurate the 255ext is a lot higher for the input for running at max output. The 255 numbers you have are actually closer to 200 amp out put on the 255ext.
