GE 68192 magnetic ballast for linear fluorescent

The GE Lighting 68192 is a 120 volt magnetic ballast designed to operate two lamps at 20, 15 or 15 watts. It supports F20T12, F15T12 and F15T8 lamp types and runs on a standard 60 Hz supply. This unit suits maintenance of existing fixtures that require a replacement magnetic ballast.

Thermals, noise and power draw in normal use

The ballast draws 0.50 amp with 20 watt lamps and 0.52 amp with either 15 watt type. Magnetic construction produces a low audible hum typical of this technology and generates warmth during operation. It contains no active cooling, so heat dissipates passively through the metal case.

Questions about this item

How do I wire the 120V input and the two lamp leads on the GE 68192 magnetic ballast, and what step do DIYers often miss?

Connect the black and white supply wires to the ballast's 120V leads, then match each lamp's two pins to the paired red and blue output leads; the step often missed is confirming the lamps are F20T12, F15T12 or F15T8 before powering up.

What maintenance will the GE 68192 ballast need after installation?

Magnetic ballasts have no user-serviceable parts; plan to replace the unit only if lamps flicker, hum loudly or fail to start after you have verified the F20T12, F15T12 or F15T8 lamps and wiring are correct.
