Triad Universal C2642UNVME 2-Lamp Compact Fluorescent Electronic Ballast
Product description
This is a Triad C2642UNVME electronic ballast intended for two-lamp compact fluorescent (CFL) fixtures. The package contains one triad electronic ballast configured for two CFL lamps and is sized to fit most 2-lamp compact fluorescent housings.
The unit is an electronic CF ballast that accepts a wide input range from 120 to 277 volts and operates on both 50 Hz and 60 Hz power systems. It is designed with a high power factor—greater than 90%—to improve electrical efficiency and reduce reactive current on the circuit.
The ballast is housed in a compact metal enclosure with standard wiring leads for installation into existing fixtures. It mounts in typical fixture locations and connects to lamp sockets via the supplied leads; installers should verify wiring orientation during replacement since some units may differ from older ballasts. The design is intended for direct replacement of two-lamp CFL ballast modules in compatible fixtures.
Pros
- Wide 120–277V input range
- Supports 50/60 Hz operation
- High power factor over 90%
Cons
- Wiring orientation can differ from originals
- Mounting hardware may vary by shipment
- Not plug-and-play for all fixture types
VerdictThis Triad C2642UNVME ballast offers broad voltage compatibility and efficient operation for two-lamp compact fluorescent fixtures. It reliably powers CFLs across 120–277V and both 50 and 60 Hz systems, and its high power factor helps reduce wasted energy. Installation is generally straightforward, though a few users reported wiring orientation differences and missing mounting hardware in rare cas
