Review: Perfect replacement - Works great.
Review: Easy replacement of CFL recessed can light ballast - Onc of my recessed CAN lights started flickering occasionally. I swapped the bulb for a new one and it still flickered. Then one date it stopped lighting all together. Was pretty sure the electronic ballast had failed. I replaced the ballast with this unit, which was a perfect bolt in replacement and fixed the problem. My ceiling can light uses a 26-Watt, 4-Pin CFL bulb which is what this ballast is designed for. No need to go into the attic crawl space, the ballast can be replaced from inside the house by removing the bezel and unscrewing and removing the bulb housing. There are video's on how to do this online.

- High power factor
- Series lamp connection

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Description say triad c2642unvme, image says c2642unvse .  which is as it? as i want a  c2642unvme**
A: Hello, we have the C2642UNVME listed and in stock. We do apologize but it looks like the picture is incorrect but listing is indeed correct. Let us know if you have any further questions, thanks.

**Q: Will this work on my 64w, 120vac, 60hz fixture that takes (2) 12in circuline flourescent lamps?**
A: It may but it's not produced for that and warranty will void. The search for a ballast you don't do it by overall wattage it's application specific. So if you need a ballast for 2 x FC12T9 bulbs which is the 32w circline item you need to search for a ballast that says it will operate 2 FC12T9 bulbs. Not just any 2 light 32w ballast. Some examples of items that will are NPY-120-240-CR or RSW3240C120WS

**Q: Will this work for 2 42watt floresents?**
A: Yes...I currently have garage lights that are 2/42 watt flouresents. As long as they are 4 pin and wired correctly. It can also be wired to work with one if you use the correct schematic on the ballast.

**Q: Will this work with an fml27/65k daylight pin base bulb? the model number on current ballast is ebcf-127-120v-lpf**
A: No.
