Product Overview
The Sylvania LU150MULTI-KIT is a complete replacement ballast kit for 150W S55 High Pressure Sodium fixtures, supplying the three core electrical components as a matched set: the magnetic core and coil, the capacitor, and the pulse ignitor. Replacing all three components together as a kit, rather than individually, ensures proper electrical matching and restores full rated performance and starting reliability to the fixture.
The 4-tap design covers 120V, 208V, 240V, and 277V inputs from a single kit, allowing one part number to service fixtures across the most common commercial and industrial branch circuit voltages — confirm the correct tap is wired during installation. HX-HPF circuit type provides high power factor operation with reactor-based current limiting, the traditional and reliable magnetic ballast topology for HPS fixtures. The -40°F minimum starting temperature makes this kit suitable for unheated outdoor fixtures in cold climates.
Compatible Applications
- Outdoor area and street lighting fixture maintenance — Replacement ballast kit for 150W S55 HPS cobra-head, wall pack, and area light fixtures.
- Industrial and commercial HID fixture rebuilds — Complete electrical component replacement for aging or failed 150W HPS ballast assemblies.
- Cold-climate outdoor installations — -40°F rated starting temperature for unheated exterior fixtures.
Before Ordering — Verify
- ANSI Code: Confirm your lamp and existing ballast are rated for S55 (150W HPS).
- Lamp Wattage: Confirm fixture and lamp are 150W HPS — this kit is not interchangeable with other HPS wattages.
- Input Voltage: Confirm your circuit voltage matches one of the four available taps: 120V, 208V, 240V, or 277V.
- Kit vs. Component Replacement: This is a full kit (core & coil, capacitor, ignitor) — confirm whether your repair calls for full kit replacement or an individual component.
- Physical Fit: Confirm 3.94" x 2.81" x 3.85" fits within your fixture's ballast housing.
Safety and Installation Guidelines
- High Voltage Pulse Warning: A high voltage pulse is present on the open circuit. Ground the ballast core and the metallic case of the capacitor and ignitor before servicing.
- Disconnect power before installing or servicing.
- Install in accordance with National Electric Code and local electrical codes.
- Follow the included installation instructions and wiring diagram for correct voltage tap selection.
