From the Manufacturer WorkHorse 5 - Versatile Fluorescent Ballast - Instant Start - 120V - Linear Model w/ Side Leads Review: Works as intended - Works as intended… has worked all season with no issue Review: Works great to make your own AC Sterilizer/AC UV light - This ballast is plenum-rated, so it is safe to use inside an AC unit - and it works great to make your own AC UV sterilizer! I used this ballast with two-each of: 36 Watt 110V, PL-L36W/TUV UV 265850 , 26585-0 Philips Compatible Sanitzer / Germicidal Lamp Bulb 36W 2G11 Base Leviton 23452-B Screw Mount Lamp Support Clip for Horizontal Mount 2G11 Base Twin Tube Fluorescent Lampholder Leviton 13455 2G11 Base, 4-Pin, Twin Tube Fluorescent Lampholder, White and mounted the bulbs/sockets/clips on some 1/2" aluminum tubing from Home Depot with nuts/bolts/washers to mount the clips and sockets. Add some 18 ga. insulated solid wire (600V rating) and wire nuts to connect everything (connect the two middle push-to-fit connections on each lamp socket with a short jumper, one jumper for each lamp base, and connect the two outside push-to-fit connectors to one red wire for lamp#1, one wire for lamp #2, and both lamps to the yellow from the ballast), split-loom tubing and cable ties to protect/neaten your wiring, and you have an up-town UV sterilizer that is also cheap to service. I have owned several brands of UV lights for my ACs, and they have all had nominal UV output, died (the bulbs, at least) after about a year, and cost far more than this ballast with the two double-bulbs noted above. ## Features - Features & Benefits: Operates multiple lamp types including 1 or 2 F96T12HO, F32T8, F54T5HO, F40T10, FT50W, and more—offering exceptional versatility across commercial and residential lighting systems.; Instant-start electronic ballast with fast ignition, high energy efficiency, and quiet performance (Sound Rated A). ; 120VAC, 50/60 Hz solid-state design delivers consistent output with Power Factor > 0.9 and THD < 32%. ;Compact, lightweight, and easy to install with pre-wired leads and standard mounting. ; Wide operating range: works in temperatures from -30 °C (-20 °F) up to 70 °C (158 °F) case temperature. ; Warranty: 5 years from date of manufacture when properly installed. - Certifications & Safety: cUL Listed, Class P, Type 1 Outdoor; RoHS Compliant; FCC Part 18-A compliant for EMI/RFI suppression; ANSI C82.11-1993 voltage-transient protection; Inherent thermal protection with fuse input safeguard - Performance & Reliability: Designed for instant, flicker-free starts and energy savings.; Parallel lamp connection supports mismatched lamps and independent operation.; Built for durability—engineered to perform in harsh environments. - Applications: Ideal for retrofits; Replacements; New installations in commercial; Retail; Office; Educational facilities; And More ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00AB32J7S | | Amperage Capacity | 1.15 Amps | | Batteries Included? | No | | Batteries Required? | No | | Best Sellers Rank | #212,106 in Tools & Home Improvement ( See Top 100 in Tools & Home Improvement ) #76 in Electrical Ballasts | | Certification | UL | | Color | Silver | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (258) | | Date First Available | January 5, 2009 | | Finish | Silver | | Included Components | Electronic Fluorescent Lamp Ballast | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item Package Quantity | 1 | | Item Weight | 15.2 ounces | | Item model number | WH5-120-L | | Manufacturer | Fulham Co., Inc. | | Material | Copper | | Number Of Pieces | 1 | | Part Number | 314626 | | Power Source | wired electric | | Product Dimensions | 1 x 2.5 x 1 inches | | Size | 1 Count | | Type of Bulb | CFL | | Voltage | 120.00 | | Wattage | 128 | ## Images ![Fulham Lighting WH5-120-L Workhorse 5 Adaptable Electronic Fluorescent Lamp Ballast - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71qS3291kaL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works as intended *by O***D on November 29, 2025* Works as intended… has worked all season with no issue ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works great to make your own AC Sterilizer/AC UV light *by J***N on December 23, 2016* This ballast is plenum-rated, so it is safe to use inside an AC unit - and it works great to make your own AC UV sterilizer!
