GE 400 W HID Ballast Kit dlp replacement lamp

SKU CH-H8JS-RZA2T

A magnetic HID ballast kit starts 400 W metal-halide lamps on 120, 208, 240 or 277 V AC and operates down to -20 °F

  • Typeballast
  • Pulse-start ignition lights metal-halide lamps reliably
  • 400 W maximum output drives bright projection images
  • Multi-tap 120/208/240/277 V input fits many installations
  • ANSI M135/M155 code ensures correct lamp-ballast pairing
  • Starts down to -20 °F for cold-environment operation

GE 400 W HID Ballast Kit

This GE ballast kit powers a single metal halide lamp up to 400 watts. It operates on 120, 208, 240 or 277 volt AC input at 60 Hz. The magnetic design uses pulse start ignition with ANSI codes M135 and M155. It is intended for replacement in compatible DLP projector housings.

Installation and wiring requirements

The kit supports one bulb and requires a fixture wired for the listed input voltages. A minimum starting temperature of -20 degrees Fahrenheit allows cold-weather operation. The ballast factor of 1 maintains rated lamp output. Installers must verify the existing housing matches the ANSI codes and voltage before fitting.

Sustained operation characteristics

Magnetic construction provides stable current regulation during continuous run cycles. The unit delivers full 400 watt input power without the flicker sometimes seen in high-frequency alternatives. Heat builds gradually in the core and coil, so adequate fixture ventilation is needed for long sessions. It does not suit applications needing dimming or rapid restrike.

Questions about this item

What is the minimum starting temperature for the ballast?

The ballast starts down to -20 degrees Fahrenheit, so it can operate in cold environments.

How much heat and power does the ballast draw during continuous operation?

It consumes 400 W input power at 60 Hz and runs on a magnetic design that produces typical ballast warmth.

Which line voltages must the installation already provide for this ballast to work?

The unit accepts 120 V, 208 V, 240 V or 277 V AC, so the site must supply one of those voltages.
