Description

At a glance

This is your go-to ballast when you need smooth starts, long lamp life, and install-anywhere flexibility.
Operating on 120–277V, this electronic ballast supports a wide range of CFL types — from PL42s to 2Ds — and brings program start performance to reduce wear and extend lifespan. Whether you’re doing a retrofit or spec’ing new construction, it’s efficient, reliable, and built to handle tough environments (down to -30°C).

Bonus: It’s ultra-quiet, thermally protected, and ICES-005 compliant for commercial-grade peace of mind.


You need this if:

  • You’re running PL42, PL32, PL26, PL40, or 2D CFLs

  • You want a controlled program start for longer lamp life

  • You’re working on a 120–277V system (no guesswork needed)

  • You need cold-start capability for unheated spaces

  • You want a ballast that’s RoHS compliant, cULus listed, and dead quiet (Sound Rating A)


You don’t need this if:

  • You’re using LED or linear fluorescent tubes (this is for CFLs)

  • You want instant start or dimmable functionality

  • You don’t feel like checking lamp compatibility (scroll down — it’s easy)

  • You think “return it if it doesn’t work” applies — not after install, it doesn’t
