About Robertson 3P20132 Fluorescent eBallast for 2 F40T12 Linear Lamps
Overall Feedback:
84% positive
76% appreciated the compatibility, though 24% faced issues
I used the ballasts with T12 lights and they worked without any issues.
The wires of the ballast reach all the way to the lamp connectors, eliminating the need for wire splicing.
The new ballasts have an additional brown wire and the wiring diagram is not compatible with the old ballasts.
I personally faced a problem with the wiring diagrams on the product page, finding them misleading. The manufacturer has not clearly stated it. Based on my experience, I can say that the user has commented on this issue.
81% found it easy to install, but 19% encountered difficulties
I found the installation process easy and straightforward.
The wiring is color coded, making the installation of the ballast an easy job.
After installation, the lights turned on instantly without any hesitation.
Installing the ballast was the easiest I have ever done.

78% appreciated thee reliable performance, though 22% experienced issues
The ballast worked perfectly and I suspect it works more efficiently as it is an electronic ballast.
Upon testing, the lights turned on immediately with no flicker and no noise at all.
The lifetime of the ballasts is unknown to me, but they have solved my starting problems.
I need to wait for 17 years to see if the ballasts perform as well/long as the original ballasts.
