What Customers Are Saying

This electronic fluorescent light ballast is generally effective and easy to install as a replacement for older magnetic ballasts. Many users found it straightforward to wire up and get their fixtures working again, with the new ballast providing instant-on and flicker-free operation. The smaller size and lighter weight were also noted as advantages. However, some experienced issues like slow start times, flickering, or premature failure. Overall, the majority of reviewers were satisfied with the product's performance and value, especially considering the cost savings compared to replacing the entire fixture.

Barely starts. flickers after start, burns out the bulbs quickly. Within 6 months had to replace it with competing brand. Fooled only once.

We have lights again!

The schematics were fairly simple to use, for a diy guy. The wiring was nice and long which was a great benefit, so I had to detach all of the old long coupled wires. If you know how to shut off the power supply I think you can do it! Let it shine in you kitchen again!

Don’t buy unless you want practice rewiring lights

Would Not Recommend

Bought 3. They were slow in turning the light on and light still flickers. No better than the 30 year old ballast I was replacing. Should have believed comments that said the same thing. Returned all 3 to Lowe’s and bought another brand from a different supplier (all 3 of those work perfectly)
