  • Starts at -20 °F for cold environments
  • Operates on five input voltages 120/208/240/277/480 V AC
  • Magnetic pulse-start ballast meets ANSI M135 and M155 codes
  • Draws 454 W input at 60 Hz with unity ballast factor

Advance 400 W HID ballast kit

This magnetic HID ballast kit from Advance operates a single metal halide lamp rated at 400 W. It accepts multi-tap input voltages of 120, 208, 240, 277 and 480 V AC at 60 Hz. The unit carries ANSI codes M135 and M155 and starts reliably down to -20 °F.

Check your supply and lamp match

Verify that your fixture is wired for one of the listed input voltages and that the lamp type matches the M135 or M155 ANSI code. The ballast draws 454 W at the input, so the branch circuit and wiring must be rated for that load. Confirm the socket and wiring suit a single 400 W metal halide lamp before installation.

Sustained operation characteristics

Under continuous use the ballast maintains a ballast factor of 1, delivering full rated light output. The magnetic design runs at the rated 454 W input without the efficiency drop seen in some electronic units during long burns. The -20 °F minimum starting temperature ensures reliable ignition in cold environments after extended off periods.

Questions about this item

What components are included in the kit and what must be purchased separately?

The kit contains the magnetic HID ballast; a compatible 400 W metal halide lamp with ANSI code M135 or M155 must be bought separately.

How do I choose the correct input voltage version for my supply?

The ballast operates on 120, 208, 240, 277 or 480 V AC at 60 Hz; select the tap that matches your mains voltage.

What does the 454 W input power mean for my actual lighting circuit?

The ballast draws 454 W from the supply to drive one 400 W lamp, so size wiring and breakers for the higher input figure.
