This high-quality electronic ballast is designed to seamlessly integrate with industry-standard F1.8k faceted PAR lampheads and 1.8/1.2kW and 575W Daylight Fresnels, making it an ideal choice for both indoor and outdoor lighting applications.

Engineered for performance, this powerful ballast boasts three distinct settings to cater to your specific lighting needs.
