  • Quality product, quality seller
5 stars all the way across the board. It’s a magnetic ballast so you know it’s reliable, it runs quiet, and it’s switchable and runs on 220/110. Also accepts two different lamp plugs. First one I recieved was badly damaged. It was immediately replaced. All I had to do was ship the old one back within 30 days. Buy with confidence, both the product and the seller are to be trusted. ... show more

  • So far so good.
Got as a replacement for a similar ballast. Works fine. Versatile application as far as voltage, type of bulb etc. Can't rate durability because it's still new. If it's anything like my previous Sun System products I'm sure it will be a tank though.

  • Great Product
As you would expect from Sun System, a great well built and flawless ballast. The heat sink area gets pretty hot so it is advisable not to place directly on a surface prone to melting like polyester carpet. I just put a piece of 2 x 4 lumber under each set of the feet and fixed any worries.
