Ballast for T8 Fluorescent Lamps
This Philips Advance Centium electronic ballast operates three or four T8 lamps at 120 to 277 volts AC. It supports lamp wattages of 17, 25, 28, 32 and 40 watts with instant start. The unit is designed for indoor fluorescent fixtures in commercial or residential settings.
Replaces Magnetic or Failed Electronic Ballasts
Upgrade when an existing ballast hums, flickers or fails to start lamps reliably. The instant-start design eliminates the delay and strobe effect of older magnetic types. It is not suitable for dimming circuits or fixtures requiring programmed rapid start.
Straightforward Wiring for Qualified Installers
Installation follows standard colour-coded leads for line voltage and lamp connections. Ensure power is off and the fixture is grounded before wiring. Common issues include reversed leads, loose tombstone contacts or using lamps outside the supported wattage range.
