GE Current 204 W 2-Lamp Electronic Light Kit

This GE Current electronic light kit operates two fluorescent lamps at a total of 204 watts. It accepts an input voltage range of 120 to 277 volts AC and uses a programmed start method. The unit weighs 1.85 units and is built with HAWA material. It supports T12 bulb types with maximum bulb wattages of 60, 75, and 85 watts.

Suitable For And Not For

This kit suits installations requiring programmed start ballasts for one or two T12 lamps within the listed wattages. It works for multi-voltage wiring between 120 and 277 volts AC. It does not suit projects needing dimming capability or CA Title 20 compliance. Buyers needing instant start or rapid start ballasts should look elsewhere.

Deciding Specification

The programmed start type and 120 to 277 volt AC input range are the key specifications. Confirm your lamps are T12 type and fall within the 60, 75, or 85 watt maximum ratings. Verify that dimming is not required for the installation. The 204 watt total rating and 1.85 weight complete the critical data.

Questions about this item

Should I choose a 60 W, 75 W or 85 W bulb for this ballast?

The ballast supports one or two T12 fluorescent bulbs rated at 60 W, 75 W or 85 W each, so pick the wattage that matches the lamps you plan to install.

What does the 204 W rating mean once the kit is installed?

The 204 W figure is the total input power the ballast draws when driving two lamps at their maximum supported wattage.

What does the 120 to 277 V AC input range cap in practice?

The ballast operates on any supply between 120 V and 277 V AC, so it works on standard 120 V circuits and on 277 V commercial lighting circuits without rewiring.
