Product Overview
Philips Advance Centium ICN-2S54-90C-T Programmed-Start T5HO Ballast | 120-277V | (1-2) F54T5/HO
The Philips Advance Centium ICN-2S54-90C-T is a programmed-start electronic ballast for one or two F54T5/HO lamps on any supply voltage from 120V to 277V. The 90C versions of the Centium T5HO family are the ones Philips Advance offers for high-ambient-temperature installations that call for a 90°C rating. Programmed start helps extend lamp life on frequently switched circuits, and F54T5/HO lamps start down to -20°F (-29°C).

Product Overview
The ICN-2S54-90C-T shares its electrical ratings with the other 54W-class Centium T5HO ballasts, so lamp compatibility, input power and ballast factor are the same as shown in the table above. Choose a 90C model when the fixture or the installation environment requires a 90°C rating. Programmed-start operation, end-of-life protection and auto-restrike are built in.
- Programmed start: preheats the lamp electrodes before ignition, which can extend lamp life in applications with frequent switching, such as occupancy sensors, motion detectors and daylight harvesting.
- IntelliVolt multi-voltage input: one ballast operates on any supply voltage from 120V through 277V (50/60 Hz), which simplifies ordering and installation.
- Auto-restrike: restarts lamps after a lamp is replaced without having to reset power.
- Lamp end-of-life (EOL) protection: safely removes power from a lamp when it fails.
- High-frequency operation (42–52 kHz): designed to avoid interference with infrared devices and anti-theft systems and to eliminate visible flicker.
- Energy-saving lamp compatible: Philips Advance T5HO ballasts are compatible with energy-saving lamps.
Compatible Lamps and Applications
This ballast is rated to operate:
- 1 or 2 × F54T5/HO (49W and 54W)

- 1 or 2 × FT50W/2G11/RS (50W 4-pin; PL-L50W, F50BX/RS)
- 1 or 2 × FT55W/2G11 (55W 4-pin; PL-L55W, F55BX, FT55DL)
- 1 or 2 × FC12T5/HO (55W circline)
Typical applications: Retail, commercial, institutional and industrial lighting, including warehouses, manufacturing areas, schools, offices, and specialty and department stores.
Before Ordering
- Confirm the lamp type and lamp count match the table above.
- Check your supply voltage is between 120V and 277V (50/60 Hz). For 347–480V systems, Philips Advance lists a separate catalog number, HCN-2S54-90C-WL.
- Compare the case size (16.70 in L x 1.18 in W x 1.00 in H) with the space in your fixture.
- Confirm the full catalog suffix on your existing ballast (for example -T) so you receive the same version.
Safety and Handling
- Turn off power at the breaker before installing or servicing the ballast, and have the installation done by a qualified electrician in accordance with local electrical codes.
- Wire the ballast exactly as shown on its label and in the wiring diagram; ballast leads are color-coded per ANSI C82.11.
- For one-lamp operation, do not connect the yellow leads (wiring diagram 73).
- Ground the ballast case to the fixture.
- Use only the lamp types and lamp counts listed for this ballast, and remove a failed lamp promptly.
