Electronic fluorescent ballast for T5 lamps

This GE Lighting ballast drives one or two T5 fluorescent lamps rated from 14 to 21 watts each. It accepts an input range of 120 to 277 volts AC and uses a rapid-start method. The unit weighs 0.95 and is supplied new.

UltraStart rapid-start operation

The rapid-start circuit preheats cathodes before ignition, reducing wear from frequent switching. No dimming function is included, so light output remains fixed at full level. CA Title 20 compliance is not claimed.

41 to 60 watt total load range

The ballast supports a combined lamp load between 41 and 60 watts across the two sockets. Installations needing higher or lower total wattage, or lamps other than T5, require a different model.

Questions about this item

Will the T5 lamps need regular replacement and how often?

The ballast operates 14 W and 21 W T5 lamps; typical fluorescent lamp life is around 20 000 hours, so plan on replacing lamps every few years depending on daily run time.

What component reaches its limit first during continuous operation?

The lamps themselves are the first wear item — their electrodes degrade with each start cycle and hours of operation, while the electronic ballast has no moving parts and runs within its 120 to 277 V input range.

How much heat and noise does the ballast produce when left on all day?

The electronic design runs silently with no fan; surface temperature stays low in normal fixtures, and power draw matches the 14 W or 21 W lamp load plus minimal ballast losses.
