Product Overview

The GE Ultrastart 240RSMVN electronic ballast delivers professional-grade performance for T12 and T10 fluorescent lighting systems. Featuring Program-Rapid Start technology, this ballast provides extended lamp life and reliable ignition across a wide voltage range. The lightweight aluminum housing and low profile design simplify installation in both new construction and retrofit applications.

Designed for demanding commercial and industrial environments, this multi-voltage ballast automatically adapts to 120V through 277V input, eliminating voltage-specific inventory concerns. The parallel lamp circuit ensures continued operation if one lamp fails, reducing maintenance calls and downtime.

Why Choose This Ballast

• Voltage Flexibility: Automatic multi-volt operation from 120-277V simplifies specification and stocking
• Extended Lamp Life: Program-Rapid Start technology reduces electrode wear compared to instant start
• Parallel Operation: Individual lamp circuits prevent total fixture failure from single lamp outage
• Lightweight Design: Aluminum housing reduces fixture weight and installation strain
• Outdoor Rated: UL Type 1 Outdoor certification for protected exterior applications
• Environmental Compliance: RoHS compliant construction meets modern environmental standards
