The GE Current UltraMax P electronic ballast operates one or two T8 fluorescent lamps at 38 or 59 watts each. It accepts a universal input voltage range from 120 to 277 volts AC. This unit is suited for commercial or residential fixtures requiring instant start operation without dimming capability.

Wiring for instant start fixtures

Installation follows standard instant start wiring for one or two T8 lamps. The ballast starts lamps at a minimum temperature of 0 degrees Fahrenheit. Ensure the supply voltage falls within the 120 to 277 volt range and that lamp wattage matches the 38 or 59 watt specification to avoid premature failure.

Questions about this item

How can I confirm the ballast is operating correctly after installation?

Verify both T8 lamps light instantly with no flicker, the input voltage reads between 120 and 277 V AC, and total lamp wattage stays within the 101 to 108 W range.

What comes in the box and what must I supply separately?

The box contains the UltraMax P electronic ballast only; you must purchase one or two T8 lamps (38 W or 59 W each) and wiring connectors separately.

Which lamp combination should I choose for this ballast?

Select either one 59 W T8 lamp, one 38 W T8 lamp, or two 38 W T8 lamps so the combined wattage falls between 101 and 108 W.
