Accupro AP-RC-432IP-120-1 replacement

Replaced Accupro AP-RC-432IP-120-1 with this ballast and it worked great. Almost exactly the same size so it fits my mount without any adjustments. Let's see if it lasts longer than the previous one.

Pros
  • Powerful electronic ballast with instant start for all conventional fluorescent lamps
Cons
  • Some small things

LED conversion is the best in ballasts

Upgrading LEDs to a 4 liter T-8 is now cheap enough to replace but as always a ballast will cost as much or more than buying an entire Lite ballast. Bought 4 for 1 from a local store. I didn't like that they came in a polymailer, the tabs are bent, for such a price I'll survive

Pros
  • Everything is fine!
Cons
  • Expensive

It now needs to be replaced

I have a small retail shop and when the ballast wears out I climb up my ladder and replace it. Turns out the one I replaced last time was the one I had already bought and replaced from Revain. He hasn't been there for over 2 years. PS: As a GE shareholder, I hate selling GE products, but come on.

Pros
  • High marks for grip and durability from testers
Cons
  • Not as thick as other picks

3 that had the correct part number installed and worked great.

Check quickly upon receipt. I waited over a month before I managed to install them and I can't return them. 3 out of 6 were incorrect items. They are wrapped in plastic that says 4 bulbs but once you open them they have a different part number and can only work with 3 bulbs. Also, it turned out that 1 out of 3 was wrong. The 3 correct part numbers were installed and worked perfectly.

Pros
  • Free for educational purposes
Cons
  • Not sure
