PHILIPS ADVANCE CENTIUM ICN-2S28-35-N | 1-2 Lamp F14-F35 T5 | 120-277V

Philips Advance Centium ICN2S2835N (commonly referred to as ICN-2S28-35-N) is a high-performance electronic ballast designed for T5 fluorescent lighting systems. Featuring IntelliVolt technology, this ballast operates on any input voltage from 120V to 277V, providing maximum flexibility for commercial and industrial installations. Its Programmed-Start technology is specifically engineered to extend lamp life in applications where lights are frequently cycled, making it the premier choice for use with occupancy sensors or motion detectors. With a slim, low-profile design and End-Of-Life (EOL) protection, this ballast ensures safe, reliable, and energy-efficient operation for up to two T5 lamps.

Product Overview

The Philips Advance Centium ICN2S2835N is the industry standard for high-efficiency T5 lighting. Unlike instant-start ballasts, its programmed-start method precisely preheats lamp filaments before applying ignition voltage. This significantly reduces "end-blackening" and stress on the lamp cathode, allowing for much higher switching cycles in environments controlled by smart building systems. The ballast's ultra-slim 1.18-inch width and 1-inch height make it an ideal fit for modern, low-profile linear pendants and cove lighting fixtures. It is fully RoHS compliant and features an auto-restrike function, which automatically restarts the lamp once a temporary power interruption or lamp replacement occurs.

• IntelliVolt Technology: Simplifies inventory and prevents installation errors by automatically sensing any voltage between 120V and 277V.
• Optimized for Sensors: Programmed start is the recommended technology for rooms with occupancy sensors to prevent premature lamp failure.
• EOL Protection: Safely removes power from the lamp at the end of its life, preventing overheating of the lamp base and fixture components.
• Quiet & Efficient: High-frequency electronic operation eliminates the hum and flicker associated with older magnetic technologies.
