Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons
The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

Wires pre-stripped and long enough for all 4 bulbs. Received the ballast on schedule and installed. Now have ample light for working in garage. Beats buying a whole new fixture for sure.

Not an electrician but not too difficult to install. Nineteen bucks vs a hundred for the whole assembly means win!



Cons

This ballast is electrically noisy. After 3 months the light flickers several times when turning off the light. Only lasted a little over 2 yrs.

Excellent price as well since i did shop around locally and on line.

Someone reviewed here that it's an exact match for the accupro 4 bulb ballast - and that's right on the mark.
