Philips Advance 70 W HID Ballast Kit

This magnetic HID ballast kit operates a single high-pressure sodium lamp rated at 70 W. It accepts a dual input voltage of 120/277 V AC at 60 Hz and delivers a ballast factor of 1. The pulse-start design meets ANSI code S62 and starts reliably down to -40 °F.

Kit includes ballast and ignitor

The bundled ignitor enables pulse starting for the supported lamp type. Supplying both components in one package removes the need to source a separate starter that matches the ANSI code. This simplifies installation for maintenance crews replacing existing HID gear.

Magnetic ballast limits efficiency and size

Magnetic construction draws 96 W input for a 70 W lamp, so losses are higher than electronic alternatives. The heavy core and coil increase weight and mounting space compared with solid-state units. No dimming or multi-lamp operation is supported by this single-lamp design.

Questions about this item

Will the magnetic core in the 71A7971-001D need periodic replacement?

The magnetic ballast has no user-serviceable parts; the sealed core and coil are built for the life of the fixture.

What limits continuous operation of the 70 W HID ballast first?

The 96 W input draw and -40 °F minimum starting temperature define the thermal and cold-start boundaries during sustained use.

How much noise and heat does the 71A7971-001D generate when running all day?

Magnetic ballasts emit a low audible hum and warm to the touch; the 96 W input power sets the steady-state heat level.
