120/277V T8 Programmed Rapid Start Ballast

The GE Lighting 96720 GE232-MVPS-L is an electronic fluorescent ballast designed for commercial and residential lighting projects. It operates one or two F32T8 lamps using programmed rapid start technology. The unit accepts multi-voltage input from 120 to 277 volts for versatile installation. It is suited for installers needing reliable lamp ignition in frequently switched environments.

Multi-voltage input and low power factor

The ballast accommodates supply voltages from 120 to 277 volts, allowing use across different circuit configurations. It delivers more than 90 percent efficiency with a low power ballast factor. Mounting dimensions measure 8.9 inches long by 1.1 inches wide with slots set .3 inches apart. Programmed rapid start extends lamp life beyond 100000 on/off cycles in frequent switching applications.

Verify lamp type and fixture wiring

Confirm the fixture uses F32T8 lamps and supports programmed rapid start operation before ordering. Check that the supply voltage at the installation site falls within the 120 to 277 volt range. Ensure the mounting area fits the 8.9 by 1.1 inch footprint with .3 inch slot spacing. This ballast will not operate other lamp types or voltages outside the stated range.

Questions about this item

One or two F32T8 lamps — which setup should I choose?

The ballast runs one or two F32T8 lamps; use two for full output or one when a lower light level is needed.

What does the 90-percent efficiency figure mean once the ballast is installed?

Over 90 percent of input power reaches the lamps, so less energy is wasted as heat and operating cost drops.

The 120-to-277-volt range — what does that cap in practice?

It auto-senses any supply between 120 and 277 volts, so the same unit works on standard US circuits and 277-volt commercial systems.
