Ballast for T9-Circuline and PL lamps

This Fulham PONY electronic ballast operates one compact fluorescent lamp up to 26 watts. It accepts 120 or 230 volts AC input and uses rapid start for reliable ignition. The unit weighs 0.45 units and is rated for a minimum starting temperature of minus 14 degrees Fahrenheit.

Installers needing non-dimming rapid-start operation

Suitable for commercial or residential fixtures that run a single T9-Circuline, PL-C, PL-L or PL-T lamp without dimming. Not intended for multi-lamp fixtures, dimming circuits or lamps exceeding 26 watts.

Input voltage 120/230V AC

The ballast works on either 120 volt or 230 volt AC mains without rewiring. Verify the supply voltage at the installation site matches one of these two values before fitting.

Questions about this item

How is the Fulham PONY NPY-120-126-CFL ballast wired for rapid start, and what wiring mistake causes the lamp not to strike?

Connect the 120 V or 230 V AC supply to the input leads, then wire the four lamp pins to the matching output terminals for a single T9-Circuline, PL-C, PL-L or PL-T lamp up to 26 W; the common error is swapping the two pairs of lamp leads, which prevents the rapid-start circuit from preheating the cathodes.

What component will need replacement first, and how often should the lamp be changed?

The ballast itself is solid-state and has no user-serviceable parts; plan to replace the CFL lamp when light output drops noticeably, typically after its rated hours, while the ballast continues operating.

At what ambient temperature does the ballast fail to start the lamp reliably?

The minimum starting temperature is -14 °F; below that the rapid-start circuit may not ignite a 26 W T9-Circuline or PL-type lamp.
