Product Overview

The GE 72262 GE232MAXL is a low ballast factor electronic ballast designed for applications where reduced light output and energy savings are desired. Operating at 0.77 ballast factor, it delivers lower lumen output compared to standard 0.87 ballast factor models while maintaining efficient system performance.

This ballast supports 1-lamp and 2-lamp T8 systems and operates on 120-277V input. It is commonly used in energy-saving retrofits where full light output is not required.

Why Choose This Product

• Lower energy consumption: Reduced ballast factor decreases power usage.
• Extended lamp life potential: Lower operating stress on lamps.
• Multi-volt flexibility: Works across 120V–277V systems.
• Ideal for retrofits: Perfect for energy-saving upgrades.
• Anti-striation control: Helps maintain consistent light quality.
• Compact design: Fits most standard fluorescent fixtures.
