High Power T8 Ballast for Two Lamps

This GE 29675 electronic ballast drives up to two F32T8 linear fluorescent lamps using programmed rapid start technology. It suits commercial or industrial fixtures that require high light output and reliable cold-weather starting. The multi-voltage input accepts 120 to 277 volts, simplifying specification across different building supplies. It is not suited for single-lamp fixtures or for lamps outside the F32T8 designation.

Capacity and Headroom

The ballast operates at a high ballast factor of 1.15, delivering increased lumen output for high-bay or high-ambient applications. Efficiency exceeds 90 percent, reducing energy draw compared to lower-factor alternatives. Parallel lamp operation ensures that if one lamp fails, the other remains lit, easing maintenance planning. It cannot support more than two lamps or drive T5 or T12 lamp types.

Build Quality and Mounting

The compact case measures 8.9 inches long by 1.1 inches wide with mounting slots set 0.3 inches apart, fitting standard fluorescent fixture channels. Class A sound rating of 20 to 24 decibels keeps audible hum low in quiet environments. Thermal protection and auto-restart safeguard the unit against overheating and lamp cycling issues. Anti-striation circuitry prevents visible spiraling in the lamps. The design targets over 100,000 starts with programmed-start lamp life.

Questions about this item

Will the GE232-MVPS-H run on my existing 120 V wiring, or must I rewire for 277 V?

It accepts multi-voltages from 120 to 277 V, so it works on standard 120 V circuits without rewiring.

How can I confirm the ballast is operating correctly once installed?

Listen for Class A sound rating of 20-24 decibels, verify both F32T8 lamps start without spiraling, and check that a failed lamp leaves the other lit due to parallel operation.

Does the box include the two F32T8 lamps, or only the ballast?

Only the ballast is included; the two 32-inch F32T8 lamps must be purchased separately.
