Brightest Ballast - Ballasts

I ran a pair of high CRI F32T8/950 lamps on this ballast; try to get the maximum power available. The GE data sheet states that this "3 or 2" ballast combination offers a ballast factor of 1.29 and a current rating of 0.65 amps. This is very close to what I measured on site. So we get 80+ watts from a pair of 32 watt light bulbs. compared to the measly 55 watts emitted by the lamp's original ballast. It's the sad new "normal" for these kinds of devices, isn't it? But with this H-rated "3 or 2" ballast upgrade, you'll see what these new 900 series tubes are really capable of. They're like photon torpedoes, Captain! Instant brightness with no streaks. Be careful; it is , like looking at the sun You must wear sunglasses!

Pros
  • Lots of positive vibes
Cons
  • No output
