GE "trimline" 4ft T8 3500k « on: January 28, 2026, 06:34:24 AM » Author: RyanF40T12
Alright you GE experts, fill me in on this one.  Age?  I'm guessing it's probably 1980s or 90s vintage.  Not familiar with Trimline.  I know of the old Bonusline ballasts..

teach me.

Yup, it still works.  Yup, it has a black circular cap on the end.

Manufactured in September 1994. ‘Trimline’ was GE’s original name for their F32T8 series, used from 1987 until around 1997 when the ‘Starcoat’ technology was adopted.

Nice to see an SPX one of these too. Usually these are just SP.

@RyanF40T12 - Deluxe Specification Series. Just GE’s brand name for triphosphor. SP for halophosphate/triphosphor blend and SPX for pure triphosphor.
