Philips Advance ICN-2S28-T Ballast

The Philips Advance ICN-2S28-T is an electronic fluorescent ballast designed for one or two T5 lamps. It operates on a universal input voltage range of 120 to 277 volts AC and supports lamps up to 14 watts each. This unit suits commercial or residential fixtures requiring reliable rapid-start operation.

Replacing magnetic or failed electronic ballasts

This ballast replaces older magnetic units or failed electronic models in compatible T5 fixtures. The upgrade is worth it when the existing ballast hums, flickers, or fails to start lamps at the rated 0 degrees Fahrenheit minimum. It supports one or two lamps at 63 to 64 watts total input power.

Wiring into existing T5 fixtures

Installation involves wiring the unit into the existing fixture following the label diagram for one-lamp or two-lamp operation. Common issues include incorrect lamp wiring for the chosen quantity or using lamps exceeding the 14-watt maximum per bulb. The ballast offers no dimming capability, so it must not be connected to dimming controls.

Questions about this item

What lamp type and wattage does the ICN-2S28-T support?

It operates one or two T5 lamps at a maximum of 14 W each, within the 63 to 64 W total range.

What wiring step is commonly missed when installing this rapid-start ballast?

Connect the 120 to 277 V AC supply to the black and white leads, then attach the red and blue lamp leads to the sockets — forgetting the red lead on a two-lamp fixture leaves one lamp dark.

When should the ICN-2S28-T be replaced?

Replace it when lamps flicker, fail to start at 0 °F, or show end-of-life darkening while the ballast remains cool.
