Product Overview
Philips Advance Centium ICN-2S54-T (ICN2S54T35I) Programmed-Start T5HO Ballast | 120-277V | (1-2) F54T5/HO
The Philips Advance Centium ICN-2S54-T (ICN2S54T35I) is a programmed-start electronic ballast for one or two F54T5/HO lamps on any supply voltage from 120V to 277V. Programmed start helps extend lamp life where lamps are switched frequently, and the ballast starts F54T5/HO lamps down to -20°F (-29°C), which makes it a good fit for cold-temperature spaces. It also operates 4-pin long compact lamps (36W, 50W and 55W classes) and 55W circline lamps.

Product Overview
The ICN-2S54-T is the 54W-class member of the Centium T5HO family. It operates one or two F54T5/HO lamps (both the 49W and 54W ratings) at a ballast factor of 1.00–1.02, and it covers 4-pin long compact and circline lamps as well. 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.

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.
- Many customers know this ballast by its Grainger item number or by the full order code ICN2S54T35I; either can be used to confirm you are matching the right part.
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.
