Product Overview

The GE332MVPS-N UltraStart ballast uses programmed start technology to extend lamp life by reducing electrode wear during ignition.

This makes it ideal for environments with frequent switching, such as occupancy sensor-controlled lighting systems.

Key Advantages

• Extended lamp life: Up to 100,000 switching cycles
• Ideal for occupancy sensors: Reduces maintenance costs
• Balanced light output: 0.88 ballast factor
• Parallel operation: Lamps stay lit if one fails
• Reduced flicker: Anti-striation control

Applications

• Offices with occupancy sensors
• Commercial buildings
• Schools and healthcare facilities
• Retail lighting systems

Cross Reference

• Universal B332PUNV-N
• Sylvania QTP3X32T8/UNV PSN-SC
• Philips Advance ICN-3P32-N-SC

Important Notes

• Programmed Start Ballast: Best for frequent on/off switching
• Do NOT substitute with instant start in sensor-based systems
• Lower maintenance cost vs instant start over time
