G E Lighting 67566 T5 Ho Programmed Start Ballast 4-lamp

Product Description

The G E LIGHTING 67566 is an electronic high output programmed start ballast rated for up to four multi-volt T5 HO lamps. Sold in a package of 10 units, this ballast uses programmed start technology to preheat lamp cathodes before striking an arc, reducing electrode stress and extending lamp life compared to instant-start designs. It is non-dimming and carries a minimum start temperature of -20 degrees F, making it suitable for cold-storage and unheated-space installations. Licensed electricians and commercial lighting contractors are the typical installers for this type of ballast.

This ballast is designed for commercial and industrial fluorescent lighting applications where lamps experience frequent on and off switching cycles. Programmed start technology is especially well-suited to occupancy-sensor-controlled fixtures, restrooms, corridors, and other high-cycle environments where lamp longevity directly affects maintenance costs. The multi-volt input allows use across a range of supply voltages without requiring a dedicated voltage-specific ballast, simplifying inventory management for service contractors. The GE454MVPS90F designation identifies the specific ballast model within this SKU.

Key Features

• Multi-volt input accommodates a range of supply voltages
• Programmed start cathode preheating extends lamp life in high-cycle applications
• Minimum start temperature of -20 degrees F for cold-environment use
• Non-dimming operation for straightforward on/off switching
• Starts up to 3 times faster than standard programmed start ballasts

Compatibility

Designed for use with T5 HO fluorescent lamps in multi-volt commercial and industrial fixture applications. Consult the fixture manufacturer and ballast wiring diagram to confirm lamp count and voltage compatibility before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with NEC requirements and local electrical codes. Disconnect and lock out all power to the fixture before removing the existing ballast or making any wiring connections. Follow the wiring diagram printed on the ballast label for correct lamp and line connections. Do not attempt to use this ballast with lamp types or quantities beyond its rated specification.
