Good, dependable ballast

Would Recommend

I use these to replace old light ballasts in our office. These seem to last several years (7-10 years?).

Worked for what I needed

Would Recommend

Had to replace this ballast that failed over a weekend. Previous one of the same model lasted about 3 years in a home kitchen. I feel like the lifespan is a bit short. I would have removed and installed direct wire LED tubes, but they weren't available at Lowes and I couldn't wait to order. There were no LED fixtures that would match the kitchen either. So without a choice I picked up another one of these, install went quickly and easily and the lights are on once again.

2 out of 3 isn't bad but it isn't good either.

Would Recommend

Paid the extra $10 per ballast to get the better product, suposedly. Purchased 3 of these tonight to fix up a buddies failed garage lighting. Worked great on his 4 bulb fixture and one of his identical 3 bulb fixtures. One of the 3 bulb fixtures is buzzed like crazy though. Identical wiring to the other identical fixture. Will be exchanging that ballast in the coming days.

Easy to Install

Would Recommend

I was not too sure in the beginning as to how hard it might be to install a new ballast for the light fixture for my home. However, my son and I did the replacement process fairly quickly and easily.
