PHILIPS ADVANCE Centium ICN-4P32-SC 120-277V | 4-Lamp T8 Instant Start Electronic Ballast

Philips Advance Centium ICN-4P32-SC is a high-efficiency 4-lamp electronic ballast featuring IntelliVolt technology (120-277V) and Instant Start operation. Designed for standard and energy-saving T8 lamps, it incorporates Lamp Striation Reduction (LSR) technology to maintain optimal light quality and performance.

Product Overview

The Philips Advance Centium series is the industry standard for reliable, energy-efficient T8 fluorescent lighting. The ICN-4P32-SC utilizes IntelliVolt technology, allowing it to operate on any input voltage from 120V to 277V. Its small-can (SC) design and Instant Start operation make it an ideal choice for high-volume commercial retrofits and new construction alike.

• IntelliVolt Technology: Operates on 120V to 277V (50/60Hz), simplifying inventory and eliminating voltage-specific installation errors.
• Lamp Striation Reduction (LSR): Specifically designed to minimize the swirling/striation effect often seen in energy-saving T8 lamps, ensuring uniform light output.
• Maximum Versatility: Compatible with standard F32T8 lamps as well as 25W, 28W, and 30W energy-saving alternatives.
• Instant Start: Provides immediate illumination without flickering, making it perfect for areas with infrequent switching cycles.

Before You Order

• Check Fixture Type: This ballast is designed for Instant Start operation. Ensure your sockets are "shunted" (wired together) for correct performance.
• Lamp Quantity: This unit is rated to operate 3 or 4 lamps. For 1 or 2 lamp configurations, please consult our 2-lamp ballast alternatives.
• Voltage Verification: While IntelliVolt handles 120-277V, verify that your fixture is not on a 347V or 480V circuit, which requires a different model.
• Energy Saving Note: If using 25W or 28W ES lamps, this ballast's LSR technology is essential for preventing visual striation and swirl.

Additional Information

Philips Advance Centium ballasts are engineered to provide long-lasting performance in professional environments. By meeting NEMA efficiency standards and offering a low THD, the ICN-4P32-SC ensures that your lighting system operates with minimal heat and electrical interference, extending the life of both the ballast and the lamps.
