Philips Advance Rapid Start 110W Ballast

This Philips Advance electronic ballast operates fluorescent lamps on 120 to 277 volt AC supply. It supports one or two T12HO bulbs with a maximum of 60 or 85 watts per lamp. The rapid-start design ignites lamps without a separate starter. Minimal starting temperature is rated at minus 20 degrees Fahrenheit.

Multi-voltage input and lightweight housing

Weighing 1.43 pounds, the unit fits standard fluorescent fixtures and connects to line voltage through colour-coded leads. The 120 to 277 volt auto-sensing input removes the need to select a tap, simplifying installation in commercial or residential circuits. No dimming circuitry is present, so the ballast runs lamps at full output only.

Model 199786 with Centium branding

The Centium branded ballast ships as a single replacement component without additional hardware or software. No mounting brackets, wire nuts or programming tools are included in the package. Installers reuse existing fixture hardware and follow local electrical codes for wiring.

Questions about this item

What does the 120 to 277 V AC input range mean for everyday use?

The ballast auto-senses any supply between 120 V and 277 V, so it works on standard North American branch circuits without rewiring.

What mounting space and weight should I plan for?

The unit weighs 1.43 lb and fits a standard fluorescent-fixture channel; allow room for the case and wiring leads inside the housing.

How do I wire it for one or two T12HO lamps, and what mistake should I avoid?

Connect the lamp leads exactly as shown on the label for 1-lamp or 2-lamp operation; the common error is leaving an unused lead un-capped, which causes a fault.
