Ballast Replacement Services

One important component of fluorescent lights that most don’t even know about is the ballast. Ballasts are small, rectangular devices installed inside fluorescent light fixtures to limit the current flowing to the bulbs. When a light starts to buzz or flicker, it’s time for a ballast replacement.

  • Ballast Basics

    A ballast regulates the electrical current to fluorescent or HID lamps, ensuring smooth operation. It provides the initial surge to start the lamp and stabilizes the current flow to maintain consistent lighting.

  • Why Ballasts Matter

    Without a functioning ballast, your lights may flicker, buzz, or fail completely. After a light ballast replacement, the properly working ballasts protect fixtures, enhance efficiency, and help bulbs last longer.

  • Types of Ballasts

    Ballasts come in electronic and magnetic versions, each designed for specific lighting needs. Electronic ballasts are more energy-efficient and quieter and typically offer better overall performance than older magnetic types.

    Highly recommended! Installed my Tesla Charger and it was a difficult project with my breaker box in the basement but it was no issue at all.
