## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Efficient and maximum life for your tubes
*by M***Z on May 25, 2018*

Very good value. Energy efficient and highly desirable if you want a lot of light from a standard 4' fixture with medium T8 tubes: 5,800 lumens! (You can't find that in LED tubes easily.) Also, because it's programmed start, makes tubes last longer - potentially up to 80,000 hours. Lightweight, compact and easy enough to install.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent Product
*by A***G on March 31, 2013*

I have been using this ballast in a high-use area of my home for more than one year. I installed this product in order to replace a defective ballast in a light fixture in my kitchen that had used F40/T12 (40 watt), 4-foot-long fluorescent tubes. I switched to this ballast because of concerns about the continuing availability of the F40/T12 tubes. I selected this particular ballast, a GE UltraStart, instead of less-expensive, instant-start ballasts that were available, because this one, being a program/rapid-start type, offers extended lamp life in frequently switched applications (> 100,000 on/off cycles, according to GE Lighting). This new ballast has functioned flawlessly, and the fluorescent tubes still look almost new after a year of being frequently switched on and off. Being electronic, it is lighter-weight than the magnetic ballast that it replaced, and it uses the smaller-diameter F32/T8 (32 watt) fluorescent tubes, which produce a nice, bright light output. With this ballast, the light from the fixture comes on in less than one second after the switch is turned on, faster than the old magnetic ballast. I would highly recommend this product. Of course, it is advisable to have it installed by a qualified electrician.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works like a charm
*by J***X on December 5, 2014*

Works like a charm! Hopefully, the programmed start will allow longer life in the bulbs, given the frequent on and off switching that goes with the Kitchen lighting. Be prepared to connect a bunch of wires--you can use your old receptacles (if they aren't damaged) by using a pin or a very small (<1 mm) screwdriver to open the catch on the receptacle wire slots.Update: Still working perfectly after almost 2 years! I'm ordering 3 more!
