"I found the installation to be very straightforward with clear instructions. I removed the old ballast and had this one up and running in less than 15 minutes. The price and quality make it an excellent value!"

"Installing the ballast was confusion-free. The wire leads were plenty long, and it lit up instantly. I took a chance on using LED tubes, and they worked perfectly. The price was just right!"

"This ballast is easy to install, especially if you have a little knowledge about lighting. It was also cheaper than what I found at local stores!"

"Even though I saw some negative reviews, my experience has been fantastic. The product works perfectly and is significantly cheaper than local stores!"

"I decided to tackle the installation myself, and with the help of a quick YouTube video, it took me about 30 minutes. The wires were already stripped, making the connection easy. I even received it the next day after ordering!"

"After some comparison, I found this ballast to be the perfect replacement for my 20-year-old OEM ballast that was failing. It's smaller and lighter than the original, and the color-coded wires made installation quick and easy. The bulbs light up immediately and even seem to have improved light output!"

"I purchased two of these for a pensioner's kitchen where the lights had failed. The fit was perfect, and the leads were long enough for the 4-foot T12 tubes. The neon fixtures came on instantly with no flicker or noise. This was a much cheaper solution than upgrading to LEDs, and I highly recommend these ballasts for those on a budget."

"I was initially pleased when the ballast arrived neatly packaged and was a breeze to install. It worked just fine after installation. However, I noticed that the packaging could be improved to avoid any potential damage during shipping."

"Replacing the ballast was a breeze. This was an exact replacement, making it simple to swap out the faulty part."

"My electrician neighbor took care of the installation, and now my fluorescent light fixture works great!"

“I found this replacement ballast on Amazon, and I was thrilled since I didn't want to invest in a new UV Light. My husband easily fixed our UV light just by changing the ballast. Fantastic price too.”

“These ballasts worked perfectly for replacing the ones on the four pin bulbs at my Church.”

“I used this product to repair my outdoor CFL fixture and it did the job at a good price.”

“I was disappointed that this product didn’t come with any leads or connectors. I also couldn’t get in touch with Robertson Electronics; they never responded to my emails. Without instructions, the product feels useless.”

"I had an old fluorescent fixture with a 40+ year old ballast that struggled to start in the morning. This new ballast made it operate like new! It was the most reasonably priced option I could find and easy to install—just match the wire colors. I’ll definitely keep these folks in mind for future needs."

"After installing the ballast in my basement light, I was hoping for a quick fix. The new ballast looked almost identical to my old one, but different manufacturer. It was easy to uninstall, and I followed a tip I read about using a paper clip to release the wires. After correcting a wiring mistake, it worked perfectly! Great money-saving move!"

"I decided to replace the 40+ year old ballast in my basement with this one. As a handy woman, I found it easy to install. There were two wiring diagrams, which helped me confirm the setup. The light came on immediately, making it feel brand new!"

"When my garage light stopped working, I feared the worst. I considered paying an electrician over $300, but I suspected it was just a bad ballast. A quick test with my voltmeter confirmed it. I ordered this ballast, and it arrived in two days. I installed it in less than 10 minutes, and now my light works great!"

"This ballast was a perfect fit for my fluorescent light fixture. I found it fairly simple to install, and it works flawlessly."

"I replaced an OEM ballast with this Phillips one. It works fine, but I didn’t give a full 5 stars because there’s a slight flicker. It’s not a big deal unless it’s next to another light without flicker. By itself, it’s a great buy and a solid replacement."

"I found this ballast to be exactly as promised and perfectly easy to install in about 15 minutes. What more would you need?"

"I got this to replace my big ballast, and it costs less than the local store. I’m not in any rush to buy one, so I got it from Amazon. I hope it lasts a long time!"

"I found the installation to be pretty straightforward. I installed it in my fish tank hood light by simply connecting the wires without needing to solder. It saved me a lot of money since I didn't have to replace the entire hood. I'm grateful that Amazon had it available when no one else did!"

"My husband had it installed in our fish tank light in just a few minutes. It works great, and I really hope it lasts longer than the original, which was expensive and hard to find. I’ll definitely keep buying these ballasts!"

"After my bulb began flickering and dimming, I initially thought I just needed a new bulb. But when the new one arrived and had the same problem, I discovered it was the ballast. I replaced it myself, and it worked perfectly, making my old bulb brighter than ever! My fish are happy to have light again!"

"I had to do a bit of research on how to wire it, as there was no documentation included. Once I figured it out, it worked perfectly the first time! I'm planning to order more since I have three UV clarifiers for my Koi pond, and ballasts tend to fail."

"This was exactly what I needed to replace a non-working ballast in my light fixture. It fit perfectly, and considering the old ballast was probably over 30 years old, this little device saved me from buying a whole new fixture. Thank you, Robertson!"

"I was trying to revive a 50-year-old fluorescent-lit clock. This was the only matching part I could find, and the price was low enough to take a chance. Delivery was super quick—just two days! Almost like picking it off a local shelf. Good job!"
