GE Current HID Ballast Kit 400W

This GE Current HID ballast kit operates metal halide lamps up to 400 watts. It uses a probe start method and carries ANSI code M59. The unit supports a single lamp and runs on 120, 208, 240, 277 or 480 volt AC input at 60 hertz.

Suits probe-start metal halide fixtures

Installers maintaining probe-start metal halide systems with M59 ANSI coding will find this kit matches the spec. It is not for pulse-start or electronic ballast requirements. Buyers needing multi-lamp support or a different starting temperature range should look elsewhere.

Probe start type with M59 ANSI code

The ballast start type is probe and the ANSI code is M59, which together determine lamp compatibility. These two parameters decide whether the kit matches the existing fixture and lamp combination.
