Works fine. No noise. Narrower than original, not a problem.

Great price and easy to install

Would Recommend

I had two ballasts fail right before my family was supposed to visit for the holidays. I was able to purchase two of these ballasts on the internet, with pick up at the local Lowe's. They are the correct product, they are a great price (when compared with similar products at competing stores), and they were easy to install. I got the lights restored quickly before my family arrived. We have almost ten more fluorescent light fixtures in our finished basement. When those ballasts fail, I will be b...

Good ballast for the money

Would Recommend

This ballast is as good as pretty much all the other brands I've used and run into. the body is constructed well, wires are long enough and it's the same standardized size as other T8 ballasts.

Easy install.

Would Recommend

A phillps screwdriver, a wire stripper, half a dozen small wire nuts and 20 minutes of work later I have a working light fixture in my kitchen. First flourescent balast that I have replaced and it definitely was not rocket scoence.

Lowes Macedon, NY wrong

Would Recommend

I visited Lowe's in Macedon today only to find they really didn't have this ballast, in fact they had a hard time finding any lighting ballast. I was told by the sales associate for the electrical area, nobody uses those any more, they buy LED fixtures? So he essentially called me, the customer a nobody! Check the other big box store with the orange sign. They have these and several ballast in stock.

Ballast replacements

Would Recommend

Ballasts were easy to find. It was a little difficult to tell which ones to get to replace my bad ones, but an employee helped me out. They were a little more expensive than I expected they would be

Direct replacement for my old ballast, fit perfect

Would Recommend

Easy to install, fit perfectly as a replacement for my old ballast. The wiring supplied was more than adequate for my connection requirements, worked fine when power was applied, no issues at all. Hopefully it will last for at least five years. Will update this review in a year with the reliability of this product.

Fixed my 4 bulb fixture. Color coded wires matched up exactly.Fit the original mount. It would be hard to wire it wrong. It can't get any easier!

GE 4-Bulb T8 Replacement Ballast.

Would Recommend

Excellent product, nice slim-line form factor, factory mounting lined right up, and old screws were reusable. Flying leads were solid 18 Gauge conductors with proper colors making installation a breeze, and ample length which allowed for proper wire management. The quick start ballast lit all the Bulbs immediately!

Ballast Replacement

I have purchased several of these over the last 3 years. Replacing old ballast one at a time. I have not had any problems using these as a replacement. Work well, would not hesitate to purchase again.
