UltraStart® T5 Programmed Start (PS) Ballasts
UltraStart® T5 Ballasts Features and Benefits
GE has developed a line of T5 ballasts that incorporate the benefits of programmed start ballasts with the energy savings,
fast starting and parallel lamp operation of instant start ballasts. GE’s UltraStart® T5 ballasts use low energy loss, high
efficiency components along with continuous cathode cutout (CCC) technology - resulting in 8 fewer watts than standard
4-lamp 54W T5 ballasts. GE’s UltraStart® T5 ballasts set a new industry threshold for T5 efficiency.
• High-Efficiency, Energy Savings
GE UltraStart® ballasts have high efficiency components and complete cathode cutout to maximize energy savings.
• Lower Maintenance Costs with Parallel Lamp Operation
If one lamp fails, the other lamps remain lit. This can reduce spot relamping by 50%,
or extend group relamping by up to 15%
• Fast Starting Time
GE UltraStart® T5 ballasts start in less than 700 milliseconds compared with standard T5 >1.1 seconds.
This is an important feature when using sensors. GE UltraStart® T5 ballasts fast starting time eliminate the
traditional PS ballast delay of waiting for the lights to turn on.
The GE UltraStart® Watt-Miser® T5 Lamp and Ballast System Advantage
• 18 watts lower than standard 4-lamp, 54 watt T5 systems with the same light output
• Operates lamps in parallel (which means if one lamp fails, the other lamps remain on)
– significantly reduces lamp maintenance costs.
• Multi-Voltage Technology – Simplify installation. Adapts automatically to any voltage from 108V to 305V
• Fast starting programmed start ballast < 700 milliseconds compared to standard T5 at > 1.1 seconds
• Anti-Striation Control – Reduces maintenance issues caused by striating lamps
GE UltraStart®T5 programmed start ballasts use a control circuit to apply very precise cathode heat to ensure lamp
cathodes have reached optimum temperature during lamp starting. Precise starting reduces the amount of cathode
degradation associated with each start and increases lamp life significantly. After starting the lamps, continuous cathode
cutout technology (CCC) is applied - which eliminates wasted power to the lamps, resulting in high efficiencies.
• UltraCoolTM Operation – A 90ºC case temperature rating and a high efficiency design produces less heat. GE provides the
UltraCoolTM system certification with high grade fixture systems which means a 5 year 55ºC max ambient warranty
• Bi-level switching with 4 lamp 54W ballast
• UL Type CC Anti-Arcing Rating with End of Lamp Life Protection
• Auto-Reset – Automatically resets after lamp replacement and withstands temporary losses in power typical with backup
lighting systems
