GE 29675 UltraMax Proline Electronic Ballast T8 Fluorescent

The GE 29675 UltraMax Proline Electronic Ballast is engineered to drive T8 fluorescent lamps with efficiency exceeding 90%, delivering measurable energy savings over older magnetic ballast technology. Its multi-volt design accepts input from 120 to 277 volts, allowing a single SKU to serve across residential, commercial, and industrial electrical systems. The ballast supports both one-lamp and two-lamp configurations, providing flexibility for different fixture types and maintenance scenarios without requiring separate units.

GE's patented UltraStart technology is a notable feature for applications where lights are turned on and off frequently, such as fixtures controlled by occupancy sensors or daylight harvesting systems. Unlike standard instant-start ballasts that can reduce lamp life under frequent switching, the UltraStart design is optimized to preserve lamp longevity in these demanding conditions. The ballast operates both standard and energy-saving reduced-wattage T8 lamps, and its high power ballast factor ensures consistent light output. With its focus on energy efficiency and reduced greenhouse gas emissions, the GE 29675 serves as a reliable workhorse for facilities maintaining existing fluorescent infrastructure.
