I was anxious about the compatibility of the new ballast with the old one, but it worked perfectly fine. The write-up assured me that it would work and it did.
72% liked the smooth dimming capabilities, but 28% faced issues
The lights no longer make a loud buzzing sound, do not flicker anymore, and there are no delays turning on, indicating good dimming capabilities of the electrical-ballasts.
The new bulbs work better, but they are still a bit slow.
69% praised the efficient heat dissipation
The lights no longer make a loud buzzing sound, don't flicker anymore, and there are no delays turning on. This indicates that our ballast efficiently dissipates heat.
94% found it easy to install, but 6% encountered difficulties
The installation was easy with color coded wires that matched perfectly. The LED tubes have been working without any issue for about three weeks.
Installing the ballast is easy. Turn off the power to the light fixture at the breaker box.
I installed the ballast easily as it was a direct fit. I even uploaded a photo to show where the screws were located.
I found the instructions difficult to follow. I had to match the colors of the old ballast and mount it in the same bracket even though it was much smaller.
Rephrased: The instructions were difficult to follow. I had to match the colors of the old ballast and mount it in the same bracket despite its smaller size.

I have no complaints about the basically new ballast.
I have several ballasts installed for over a year and they still work fine.
I replaced a 20 year old magnetic ballast with the ballast and it worked perfectly.
