Review: Works as intended - Works as intended… has worked all season with no issue
Review: Works great to make your own AC Sterilizer/AC UV light - This ballast is plenum-rated, so it is safe to use inside an AC unit - and it works great to make your own AC UV sterilizer! I used this ballast with two-each of: 36 Watt 110V, PL-L36W/TUV UV 265850 , 26585-0 Philips Compatible Sanitzer / Germicidal Lamp Bulb 36W 2G11 Base Leviton 23452-B Screw Mount Lamp Support Clip for Horizontal Mount 2G11 Base Twin Tube Fluorescent Lampholder Leviton 13455 2G11 Base, 4-Pin, Twin Tube Fluorescent Lampholder, White and mounted the bulbs/sockets/clips on some 1/2" aluminum tubing from Home Depot with nuts/bolts/washers to mount the clips and sockets. Add some 18 ga. insulated solid wire (600V rating) and wire nuts to connect everything (connect the two middle push-to-fit connections on each lamp socket with a short jumper, one jumper for each lamp base, and connect the two outside push-to-fit connectors to one red wire for lamp#1, one wire for lamp #2, and both lamps to the yellow from the ballast), split-loom tubing and cable ties to protect/neaten your wiring, and you have an up-town UV sterilizer that is also cheap to service. I have owned several brands of UV lights for my ACs, and they have all had nominal UV output, died (the bulbs, at least) after about a year, and cost far more than this ballast with the two double-bulbs noted above.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent As Always!
*by J***M on February 23, 2014*

For a fluorescent ballast these are the best! Super high quality and wonderful performance for a ballast. I'm an electrician by trade and I always carry at least four of these Workhorse 5 ballasts on my work truck. Always check with the products website to find if this ballast will work for your fixture. This pparticular one will work 1,2,3, and 4 lamps F32 T8 fixtures and many many more. TThe price here on Amazon actually is more than $10-12 cheaper than our electrical lighting suppliers!
