Halco E220RS/120 T12 Fluorescent Rapid Start Ballast

Product Description

The HALCO E220RS/120 is a rapid start fluorescent ballast designed to operate two F20T12 lamps on a standard 120-volt circuit. Rapid start ballasts continuously energize the lamp cathodes, allowing for smooth, reliable lamp ignition without the flicker associated with older trigger start designs. This ballast is a hardwired component installed inside fluorescent fixture housings and is typically serviced by licensed electricians or qualified lighting maintenance technicians. It is suited for T12 fluorescent lamp systems in both commercial and light industrial settings.

The E220RS/120 is intended for use in fixtures that house two F20T12 rapid start fluorescent lamps operating on 120-volt single-phase power. This ballast is commonly found in strip lights, industrial shop fixtures, and recessed troffers where T12 lamp technology is still in service. It is a direct replacement option for aging or failed ballasts in existing T12 fluorescent fixture installations where re-lamping or full fixture replacement is not planned.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with applicable NEC requirements. Always de-energize the fixture at the circuit breaker and verify the absence of voltage with a meter before opening the fixture housing or disconnecting ballast wiring. Secure all wire connections per fixture wiring diagrams and ensure the ballast is properly mounted within the fixture housing before restoring power.
