Product Overview

The GE232MVPS-L UltraStart ballast is a programmed start electronic ballast designed for maximum energy savings and extended lamp life. With a 0.77 ballast factor, it reduces power consumption while maintaining adequate light levels.

Programmed start technology minimizes electrode wear, making this ballast ideal for applications with frequent switching such as occupancy sensor systems.

Key Advantages

• Extended lamp life: Rated for 100,000+ switching cycles
• Energy savings: Low ballast factor reduces operating cost
• Ideal for controls: Perfect for occupancy sensors and automation
• Multi-voltage flexibility: 120-277V operation
• Parallel operation: Lamps remain lit if one fails

Applications

• Offices with occupancy sensors
• Commercial buildings
• Schools and healthcare facilities
• Energy retrofit projects

Important Notes

• Programmed Start: Best choice for frequent on/off switching
• Low Output Ballast: Produces less light than standard (0.87 BF)
• Do not substitute with Instant Start where lamp life is critical
