PHILIPS ADVANCE ICN-2S54-N | Centium T5HO Ballast | 120V-277V | 2-Lamp F54T5HO

The Philips Advance Centium ICN-2S54-N is a high-performance electronic ballast engineered for the reliable operation of (2) F54T5HO High Output fluorescent lamps. Featuring IntelliVolt technology, this ballast provides a flexible solution for commercial environments by operating on any input voltage from 120V to 277V. Its Programmed Start ignition is specifically designed to maximize lamp life in applications with frequent switching cycles, such as those integrated with occupancy sensors. Housed in a low-profile metal casing, the ICN-2S54-N is the industry standard for high-bay fixtures, vapor-tights, and office troffers where dependable, energy-efficient performance is a necessity.

Product Overview

The Philips Advance ICN2S54N is part of the Centium family, known for its ultra-reliable electrical characteristics and high efficiency. This ballast includes integrated End-of-Life (EOL) protection, which safely shuts down the circuit when a lamp reaches its failure point, preventing ballast damage and fixture discoloration. Additionally, the Auto-Restrike capability ensures that lamps restart automatically after a brief power loss or after a lamp replacement, eliminating the need for manual circuit resets. Its compact 9.5-inch length and slim 1.0-inch height make it an ideal fit for the modern, sleek fixture profiles used in commercial warehouse and retail spaces.

• Extended Lamp Life: Programmed Start heating of the lamp cathodes significantly reduces stress during ignition.
• IntelliVolt Flexibility: Universal voltage operation (120-277V) reduces inventory by replacing multiple single-voltage units.
• Superior Efficiency: High ballast factor (1.0) ensures full lumen output for F54T5HO lamps.
• Quiet & Cool: Advanced thermal management and a Class A sound rating provide silent, cool-running operation.
