Sylvania QHE2X32T8/UNV Isn-Sc Fluorescent Ballast, 2 Lamp, 32W T8, 120/277V

I ordered this to replace a traditional (non-electronic) ballast that died. One thing I did not realize is that my old ballast had separate circuits for each of the two bulbs, whereas this ballast only supports one circuit which means both bulbs will go out if one burns out. However, that did not bother me so much and it was easy to rewire the fixture to remove the circuit and simply attach both sets of tombstones to the ballast using the diagram provided. Took me about 30 mins in total and works like a charm. This is an electronic ballast so it will work with newer LED bulbs that are compatible. Older style ballasts need to be bypassed.

My fluorescent lights suddenly quit working and the bulbs were good, so the only other problem was a bad ballast. I ordered this Sylvania ballast to correct the problem and it was the solution. After installation my lights worked great. Was easy to install if you are familiar with basic wiring. Match all of the colored wires.This was a good value and I would recommend this Sylvania ballast.

After a few other orders I've made that were busts, this ballast won my approval. Not only is it functional, it performs just as the description mentions. Efficient, quiet, instantly starts, and powers up to two T8 bulbs. The size is a bit bigger than the one I replaced it with, but this did not seem to have and effect on the performance or efficiency.

Retired electrician. Waited a while to give a review because it was so much cheaper than Home Depot. Works just as good as any that I have purchased from other places and saved money. What more can I say.

It was exactly what I wanted. It had a good wiring diagram that told me what I needed to know

This is a terrific product when paired with the appropriate flourescent lamps. You need to go to a Sylvania ballast cross reference, I don't post a link here but you can find one. toomanyamps should publish one, but they have a new website coming out, so maybe they will. you can eventually find one on other bulb sellers websites, but i didn't want to post another company's info so no link here. I bought 4 sylvania octron t8 32 watt bulbs at a local home improvement store and installed them, but they flickered (so did the old bulbs which is why i replaced them) with the old ballasts. I looked up sylvania ballasts and here's the deal. Quality sylvania ballasts are manufactured to very specific applications. So there is a T8 Octron 32W 2 bulb and a T8 Octron 32W 3 bulb and a 4 bulb, etc. That would LIKELY BE a QHE3X... QHE4X . or Then there is also a T8 Octron 40W 2 bulb, which might be a QHE2X40T8... and ....well you get the idea. You should look up and buy the EXACT RIGHT ballast for your application. If you do, then, ....the bulbs are brighter than the old 40W (i used 32's), they do not flicker, they are instant on, they don't buzz or whine. It's really nice. And the diffusion glass coating on the new Octron bulbs is so good that in a a fixture where i used to look up and see two bulbs through the plastic diffuser, it's almost a consistent white glow that's very even across, although you can barely notice there are two bulbs up there.They promote a warranty for big industrial users, if you MATCH the ballasts to the lamps exactly, so for a home user, these will likely last a long long time.

After I came home and my kitchen's fluorescent light isn't working. Checked and found the ballast is the issue but there are various kind due to wattage and number of fluorescent lights. I got this one and it is exactly like my old one. It took me 5 minutes to install it and it works great. Just hope it last.

As described
