Philips Advance T8 Fluorescent Ballast - 120-277V | Instant Start

The Philips Advance T8 Fluorescent Ballast, model ICN-2P32N-35M, is the component described here. The role of this model is to operate the corresponding fluorescent lamp arrangement within a compatible fixture. The (2/1) F32T8/F25T8/F17T8 operating configuration distinguishes this ballast from versions intended for a different lamp count. Its specified starting method is instant start; compare it with the existing circuit rather than relying on the housing dimensions alone. When comparing replacements, note the 0.89 ballast factor as well as the lamp and supply ratings.

The 120-277V AC supply specification must match the circuit serving this model. Compare length 9.5 in., width 1.3 in., height 1.0 in. with the available space for the ballast compartment, especially when retaining an existing enclosure or shade. Follow the wiring diagram for this model when making the replacement connections.

Buying tip: Match the lamp designation, number of lamps and supply voltage to the existing ballast.
