Philips Advance 48W Ballast Kit

This Philips Advance electronic ballast kit operates one or two T8 fluorescent lamps at a total of 48 watts. It is intended for commercial or residential fixtures that require a rapid-start replacement ballast. The unit suits maintenance teams and facility managers upgrading older magnetic ballasts.

Steady Output Under Continuous Use

The electronic circuit maintains consistent lamp current during extended operation, reducing flicker and audible hum compared with magnetic alternatives. Thermal protection limits internal temperature rise when the ballast runs for long periods in enclosed troffers. Lamp life is preserved because the ballast avoids the hard starts that degrade electrodes.

Straightforward Retrofit Installation

The 9-1/2 inch length matches many standard troffer cavities, allowing direct wiring to existing lamp holders. Installers must verify that the fixture label lists compatibility with electronic T8 ballasts before connecting. Incorrect lamp pairing or wiring to a mismatched socket type is the most common cause of premature failure.

Questions about this item

How much heat or power draw should I expect from the 48 W ballast running continuously?

The ballast is rated at 48 W total, so continuous operation will draw roughly that amount from the mains and release a comparable level of heat into the fixture housing.

What lamps and sockets must I already have to install this kit?

It is designed for one or two T8 lamps; you will need matching T8 lampholders and the correct line-voltage supply wiring.

Will the 9-1/2" length fit in my existing troffer or strip fixture?

At 9-1/2" long the ballast fits most standard troffer and strip housings, but verify your fixture's internal clearance before mounting.
