GE Lighting UltraMax Proline Electronic Ballast 120/277 Volt Instant Start Ballast Normal Ballast Factor Ballast for Fluorescent Light (2) or (1) Lamp T8

- ELECTRONIC BALLASTS FOR EFFICIENCY AND SAVINGS: the patented UltraStart electronic ballasts transform the power of light into efficiency and savings from store shelves to the installation site. Efficiency exceeds 90%. - BALLASTS FOR FREQUENTLY SWITCHED APPLICATIONS: UltraStart electronic ballasts deliver long life in frequently switched applications, such as those used with sensors. - MULTIVOLT ELECTRONIC BALLAST: This T8 ballast handles voltage from 120 to 277 Volts. - REDUCE GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS WITH GE BALLASTS: These ballasts are among the highest energy-efficient ballasts available and contribute to significant reductions in energy consumption and the curbing of greenhouse gas emissions. - VERSATILE BALLASTS: This ballast operates both standard and energy saving lamps, as well as two-lamp or one-lamp orientation.

From the manufacturer

GE Ballasts can extend the life of your lamps and reduce energy cost

Ballasts Available from GE Lighting offer Unique Benefits

GE Lighting offers both Ballasts and Linear Tubes for a Complete Lighting System

GE Lighting is the consumer lighting division of General Electric. We specialize in creating optimal lighting solutions for every space in your home.

GE's UltraStart T8 programmed start, GE UltraMax Instant Start and GE Proline T8 and T12 Instant Start ballasts are among the highest energy-efficient ballasts available and contribute to significant reductions in energy consumption and the curbing of greenhouse gas emissions.

Most GE Ballast will also efficiently operate LED T8 Type A tubes.

Intended for long burn cycle applications, and offers a lower cost option when switched less than five times per day. These ballasts can virtually 'read' voltage, and exceed 90 percent efficiency. Our patented instant-start electronic ballasts transform the power of light into efficiency and savings from store shelves to the installation site. Offered in dedicated or multi-volt (120-277V), these high- performance T8 instant-start ballasts also meet minimum efficiency requirements as established with the NEMA Premium ballast program. These ballasts are offered in ballast factors: low wattage (.77), normal light (.87), and high (>1.15).

UltraStart ballasts deliver longer life in frequently switched applications, such as those used with sensors. Our patented programmed-start electronic ballasts transform the power of light into efficiency and savings from store shelves to the installation site. An UltraStart ballast is ideal for extending lamp life, and provides over 100,000 starts before 50 percent lamp failure, while standard Instant start ballasts provide 7,000-13,000 starts before 50% lamp failure. UltraStart ballasts provide the same energy savings and convenience of instant start ballasts, but with the longer lamp life offered in a programmed start ballast. These ballasts are offered in ballast factors: programmed start x-low wattage (XL) (.60), low wattage (.71), normal light (.87), and high (>1.15).

GE introduced the first practical fluorescent lamp in 1938. All fluorescent lamps operate on electrical control gear called a ballast. Today, electronic ballasts have continued to replace the magnetic designs that were common previously. The 4-foot T8 lamp on an electronic ballast is the most common system. The generic version of this lamp is called the F32T8 and in recent years, energy saving reduced wattage lamps like the F28T8 and the F32T8/25W have become popular. These lamps typically operate on Instant Start (IS) or Programmed Rapid Start (PRS) ballasts and both types of ballasts are available in a variety of ballast factors ranging from 0.60 to 1.18.
