GE 97782 GE232-120-RES T8 Fluorescent Ballast

The GE 97782 GE232-120-RES is an electronic fluorescent ballast designed to operate one or two F32T8 linear fluorescent lamps on a standard 120-volt circuit. Its instant-start technology means lamps reach full brightness the moment power is applied, with no visible flicker or warm-up period. As an electronic ballast, it runs significantly quieter and produces less heat than the magnetic ballasts it typically replaces, and its Energy Star certification confirms that it meets current federal standards for energy efficiency.

This ballast is well-suited for maintenance replacements in existing commercial and residential fluorescent fixtures — office ceiling troffers, workshop lights, garage fixtures, and similar applications where F32T8 lamps are already in use. Its normal ballast factor delivers standard light output levels, making it a direct swap in most compatible fixtures. Installation follows standard ballast wiring procedures, though as with any electrical component, work should be performed by a qualified person with power disconnected at the breaker.
