Multi-Voltage Ballast for Commercial Lighting

The GE 75948 GEC140MAX-A is an electronic instant-start ballast designed to operate high-lumen Biax compact fluorescent lamps at 140W. Its multivolt circuitry accepts supply voltages from 120 to 277V, making it suitable for commercial and institutional fixtures across varied electrical infrastructures.

Verify Lamp Type and Fixture Wiring

Before ordering, confirm that the existing fixture uses compatible high-lumen Biax CFL lamps rated for instant-start operation. Ensure the supply voltage at the installation site falls within the 120 to 277V range and that the fixture wiring matches the ballast's connection diagram for safe, code-compliant installation.

Thermal Protection and End-of-Life Safety

The unit incorporates Anti-Striation Control to maintain consistent light quality without visible striations during normal operation. A built-in Lamp End-of-Life Safety Shutdown Circuit automatically deactivates the output when lamps reach end of life, and the auto-reset function restores operation once new lamps are installed, protecting both ballast and wiring from excessive heat.
