PHILIPS ADVANCE OPTANIUM | 2-Lamp F96T8 | 120-277V | Instant Start Ballast

Philips Advance Optanium IOP2P59N35M is a high-efficiency electronic ballast engineered for 2-lamp F96T8 (8-foot) fluorescent systems. As part of the Optanium line, this ballast features a normal ballast factor (0.98) and NEMA Premium® certification, ensuring maximum energy savings and superior performance in commercial and industrial environments. Its universal voltage input (120-277V) and low-profile design make it an ideal choice for new construction or retrofitting existing 8ft T8 fixtures.

Product Overview

The Philips Optanium series is the industry standard for high-performance T8 lighting. The IOP2P59N35M is specifically designed to drive 8-foot F96T8 lamps with maximum efficiency and minimal power loss. Featuring advanced striation reduction technology, this ballast prevents the "snaking" often seen in energy-saving T8 lamps, ensuring clean and consistent light levels. Its NEMA Premium® rating guarantees that it meets the highest efficiency standards, helping facilities reduce energy consumption by up to 30% compared to traditional magnetic ballasts.

• Universal Voltage: Intellivolt technology allows the ballast to operate on any system voltage from 120V to 277V, simplifying inventory and installation.
• Instant Start Reliability: Provides immediate, flicker-free illumination, making it ideal for retail and warehouse applications with high-frequency cycling.
• Striation Reduction: Specialized circuitry maintains a smooth, steady arc in energy-saving lamps, eliminating visual snaking and dimming.
• Low Profile Housing: The compact, slim design (1.18" height) allows for easy integration into shallow fixture housings and architectural troffers.
