Emergency fluorescent ballast kit

The Philips BODINE B100 kit provides emergency illumination for a single linear fluorescent lamp. It accepts 120 or 277 V AC input and delivers an initial output of 350 to 450 lm for up to 90 minutes. The steel housing measures 9 1/2 by 2 1/2 by 1 1/2 in and weighs 1.9 units. Recharge requires 24 hours.

Replaces standard ballast for emergency backup

This unit replaces a standard ballast when code-compliant emergency lighting is required for one T8, T10 or T12 lamp up to 40 W. The jump is worth it when a building needs 90-minute egress illumination without a separate inverter system. It supports only one bulb and a maximum of 40 W, so multi-lamp fixtures need additional units.

Suits commercial and institutional retrofits

The kit suits facility managers adding code-compliant emergency lighting to existing linear fluorescent troffers or strips. It is not for installations that need higher lumen output, longer run time, or support for multiple lamps from a single ballast. Buyers requiring LED compatibility or dimming functions should look at alternative emergency drivers.

Questions about this item

What are the length, width and height of the steel housing so I can check it fits my fixture?

The housing measures 9 1/2 in long, 2 1/2 in wide and 1 1/2 in high.

How do I wire the 120/277 V AC input and the single lamp, and what is the common wiring mistake?

Connect the black and white leads to the unswitched line and neutral, the red lead to the lamp, and cap the unused voltage lead; the frequent error is leaving the extra 120 V or 277 V lead uninsulated.

After how many hours should I plan to replace the battery to keep the 90-minute emergency run time?

The sealed nickel-cadmium battery typically lasts four to five years; schedule replacement at that interval to maintain the rated 90 min illumination.
