PHILIPS ADVANCE Centium ICN-2S24-N | 120-277V | (2) F24T5/HO Ballast

Philips Advance Centium ICN-2S24-N is a high-performance, programmed-start electronic ballast designed for High Output (HO) T5 fluorescent lamps. Featuring IntelliVolt technology (120-277V), this ballast is engineered for maximum versatility and reliability in commercial applications. Its programmed-start circuitry significantly extends lamp life in environments with frequent switching, such as those utilizing occupancy sensors or motion detectors. With a low-profile design and integrated End-of-Life (EOL) protection, the Centium ICN-2S24-N provides a safe, energy-efficient solution for modern lighting systems.

Product Overview

The Philips Advance Centium brand is synonymous with quality and energy savings. The ICN-2S24-N is specifically optimized for T5HO lamps, which are widely used in low-bay and high-bay retail and industrial fixtures. This ballast features auto-restrike capability, allowing for automatic lamp ignition after a replacement without resetting the power. Additionally, the integrated End-of-Life (EOL) protection circuitry safely removes power to the lamp once it reaches its failure point, preventing overheating of the base or fixture components.

• IntelliVolt Technology: Operates on any system voltage from 120V to 277V, 50/60Hz, simplifying inventory and installation.
• Programmed Start: Minimizes electrode stress during ignition, making it the ideal choice for use with occupancy sensors and frequent on/off cycles.
• Enhanced Safety: Built-in EOL protection ensures the system shuts down safely at the end of the lamp's life.
• Compact Form Factor: The "N" can size (9.5" L) fits easily into low-profile T5 fixtures and tight architectural coves.
