Product Overview
The Philips Advance RMH20KLF (Item #913700615588) e-Vision electronic HID ballast delivers precise, low-frequency power control for low-wattage ceramic metal halide lamps. Designed primarily for high-end retail display lighting, accent fixtures, and recessed track systems, this electronic ballast constantly monitors and adjusts output wattage to optimize lamp color rendering, lumen output, and operating lifetime compared to traditional electromagnetic ballasts.
Housed in a compact metal K-can enclosure measuring 4.4 inches long by 1.1 inches wide, the RMH20KLF features side-exit lead wire entry with built-in mounting feet (*LF* mounting configuration) for effortless physical integration inside architectural luminaires. The unit utilizes 6-inch 18AWG stranded lead wires and supports remote mounting configurations up to 6 feet away from the lamp socket.
To preserve fixture safety and prevent electrical cycling, the ballast includes integrated End-of-Life (EOL) protection circuitry that automatically cuts power when a lamp behaves erratically or fails to ignite. Rated for 120V 50/60Hz line voltage input with a maximum case temperature rating of 90°C and a Class A sound rating, this ballast ensures quiet, reliable, and energy-efficient lighting performance.
Compatible Applications
- Retail track lighting systems and display case accent fixtures
- Recessed downlights and architectural spotlighting
- Low-wattage ceramic metal halide commercial luminaires
- Outdoor accent lighting fixtures (enclosed wet/outdoor rated fixtures)
Before Ordering – Verify
- ANSI Lamp Code Matching: Verify your lamp requires an ANSI C175 / M175 ballast. Designed specifically for (1) 22W Philips Mini MasterColor (CDM-Tm / PGJ5) ceramic metal halide lamp.
- Line Voltage: This model operates strictly on 120V AC (50/60Hz). Do NOT connect to 208V, 240V, or 277V supplies.
- Lead Exit Configuration (*LF* suffix): Features side-exit leads with mounting feet (*LF*). Confirm physical mounting envelope (4.4" L x 1.1" W x 1.2" H) and lead routing requirements before purchase.
- Remote Wiring Limits: Maximum allowable wire distance from ballast to lamp socket is 6 feet. Exceeding this distance can cause ignition failure or lamp instability.
Safety and Handling Guidelines
- Disconnect main AC power at the breaker panel before installing, inspecting, or wiring the ballast.
- Ensure proper grounding of the metal ballast enclosure in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and local codes.
- Do not exceed the maximum allowable case temperature rating of 90°C (194°F). Maintain adequate thermal ventilation within the fixture housing.
- Always allow metal halide lamps to cool completely before servicing or replacing.
Compliance
- Safety Certifications: UL Listed and CSA Certified.
- Environmental: RoHS Compliant.
- EMI / RFI Standard: Meets FCC Non-Consumer limits (Class A).
- Sound Rating: Class A (Quiet Operation).
