HID Electronic Ballast UltraMAX HID ballast

GE electronic HID ballast

GE's electronic UltraMAX HID ballast represents a quantum jump in HID system performance!

This ballast comes with a universal faceplate so it can be mounted on existing fixtures. It will operate both standard MVR and CMH lamps. In addition to energy savings and improved color uniformity, the key benefit it brings is a significant improvement in maintained lumens: 10% over Pulse Arc and 5% over CMH performance!

The same ballast can run 250, 300, 320, 350 and 400 watt PulseArc or CMH lamps. A quartz back-up circuit connection is available on every ballast.

This ballast provides an extremely attractive option for replacing existing MVR400 systems with a 320W lamp. Fixture input watts goes from about 458W to 345W with an improvement of 20% in mean lumens!
