GE Current CFL Ballast 54W 120/277V
This GE Current electronic ballast drives compact fluorescent lamps in commercial and residential fixtures. It supports two bulbs with maximum ratings of 26, 32, 39 or 42 watts each. The unit accepts a universal input range of 120 to 277 volts AC. It is built for rapid-start operation with PL-L, PL-Q, PL-S, PL-T and T9 lamp types.
Multi-voltage input range 120 to 277 volts
The ballast operates across the full 120 to 277 volt AC supply without manual switching. It is not dimmable and provides no dimming method or range. Minimum starting temperature is rated at minus 20 degrees Fahrenheit. CA Title 20 compliance is not claimed for this model. Installers must verify local code requirements before use.
Two-lamp rapid-start electronic ballast
The specification that decides fit is the two-lamp rapid-start design for the listed PL and T9 compact fluorescent types. Buyers needing dimming control or support for linear T8 or T5 lamps cannot use this unit. It is also unsuitable for single-lamp fixtures or for lamps exceeding the 42 watt per bulb maximum.

Questions about this item
Which wattage rating should I pick — 26 W, 32 W, 39 W or 42 W?
Choose the rating that matches the total wattage of the lamps you are driving; the ballast supports 26 W, 32 W, 39 W and 42 W compact fluorescent lamps.
What does the 54 W rating mean once the ballast is installed?
The 54 W figure is the ballast’s maximum input power; actual power draw will equal the combined wattage of the connected lamps, up to 42 W each.
Will the 120 to 277 V input work on a standard 120 V circuit?
Yes, the ballast accepts any voltage from 120 V to 277 V AC, so it operates on ordinary 120 V mains as well as 277 V commercial supplies.
