Product Overview

The GE 75379 GE132MVPS-N-V03 is the single-lamp version of GE's UltraStart normal BF 0-10V dimming T8 ballast series — designed for single-lamp T8 fixture applications requiring 0-10V dimming control. It provides the same full 100% to 3% 0-10V dimming capability as the multi-lamp variants in a form factor suited for individual lamp dimming control in architectural, task lighting, or specialty commercial applications.

Universal voltage operation (120–277V) covers all standard North American commercial circuits. Programmed rapid start preheats cathodes before ignition, extending lamp life. Normal ballast factor (0.88) delivers full rated lamp lumens without over-driving.

Compatible Lamps

(1) F32T8 — standard 48" T8
(1) F32T8/WM — energy-saving 48" T8
(1) F28T8 — 28W T8
(1) F25T8 — 36" T8
(1) F17T8 — 24" T8

Compatible Applications

Single-lamp 0-10V dimming fixtures — Architectural, task, and specialty commercial lighting requiring individual lamp dimming control.
Daylight harvesting and automated control — 0-10V integration with photosensor and building automation systems.
Universal voltage commercial systems — Single SKU covers both 120V and 277V commercial circuits.

Before Ordering — Verify

Dimming Protocol: Requires a 0-10V analog dimming controller — not compatible with DALI, phase-cut, or switching-based controls.
Lamp Count: This is a single-lamp ballast. For multi-lamp configurations see GE 75380 (1-2 lamps), GE 75381 (2-3 lamps), or GE 75382/75385 (3-4 lamps).
Lamp Type: Confirm lamp is on the compatible list above.
Input Voltage: Confirm circuit is within 120–277V ±10%.
Physical Fit: Confirm 9.5" x 1.7" x 1.18" fits within your fixture's ballast cavity.
Socket Type: Programmed start requires un-shunted lampholders — verify before installing.

Safety and Installation Guidelines

Disconnect and lock out power before removing or installing a ballast.
Ground the ballast and fixture properly per NEC and local electrical codes.
Do not bundle lamp leads — excess wiring can cause starting or performance issues.
Qualified personnel only — install per applicable electrical codes.
