The ballast operates across the full 120 to 277 volt AC supply without manual switching. It is not dimmable and provides no dimming method or range. Minimum starting temperature is rated at minus 20 degrees Fahrenheit. CA Title 20 compliance is not claimed for this model. Installers must verify local code requirements before use.

Questions about this item

Which wattage rating should I pick — 26 W, 32 W, 39 W or 42 W?

Choose the rating that matches the total wattage of the lamps you are driving; the ballast supports 26 W, 32 W, 39 W and 42 W compact fluorescent lamps.

What does the 54 W rating mean once the ballast is installed?

The 54 W figure is the ballast’s maximum input power; actual power draw will equal the combined wattage of the connected lamps, up to 42 W each.

Will the 120 to 277 V input work on a standard 120 V circuit?

Yes, the ballast accepts any voltage from 120 V to 277 V AC, so it operates on ordinary 120 V mains as well as 277 V commercial supplies.
