Would RecommendMy aunt's laundry room fluorescent fixture would not light up correctly, even after new bulbs. Decided to change 20 yr. old ballast to new electronic unit. It was easy to install. Now the 2 bulb 4' fixture switches on every time. No more flashlights for my auntie! Highly recommend!

Only use genuine GE branded electronic ballasts
Would RecommendI am re-ballasting 12 fixtures in an old shop that was originally built in 1965 with mag ballasts. Lowes only had 5 GE electronic ballasts so I had to pick up the remainder at "that other home improvement place". When performing side by side, the GE branded ballasts light quicker, are brighter, and exhibit less flicker at colder temps than the Brand X items. Had I known I would have just waited for a Lowe's re-stock and installed all GE items. Now that I know, I'm insisting on GE branded ballast...

Ballasts were just what was needed
Would RecommendFluorescent bulbs dim and flickering. Purchased new bulbs with no improvement. Purchased the ballasts which were easy to install which the ceiling light still in position. The bulbs were brighter than ever and the light came on much faster in the cold weather very pleased. Not only great purchase but able to use my military 10% discount.

First ballast lasted 18 years, so very durable!
Would RecommendMy lights were flickering in my garage on one of my fluorescent lights for the better part of a year, but it came on after 30 seconds or so, and the others were 'out'. A new ballast to match the T12 light size (T4 = 1/2", T8 = 1", T12 = 1.5"), and replacement was fast and easy...I can see again! Why did I wait so long? Good price too, better than buying new fixtures!
