What the Philips Advance ICF-2S13-H1-LD-K light

This kit contains an electronic CFL ballast rated at 29W that operates on 120 to 277V AC. It supports one or two 4-pin G24q compact fluorescent lamps with a maximum of 16W each. The programmed start method helps extend lamp life in frequent-switching applications such as offices, corridors or retail displays.

What to verify on your existing fixtures

Confirm that each fixture uses a 4-pin G24q (PL-C) lamp base and that the lamps are 16W or lower. The ballast provides no dimming function, so existing dimmer circuits must be bypassed or removed. Ensure the supply voltage at the installation site falls within the 120 to 277V range and that ambient temperatures stay between 0 and 158 degrees F.

What the SmartMate branding adds

The SmartMate label indicates programmed start circuitry designed for reduced electrode wear during repeated ignition cycles. No thermal protection, dimming capability or additional control interfaces are included. The kit delivers the ballast only; compatible lamps must be sourced separately.

Questions about this item

Does the kit include the 4-pin G24q compact fluorescent bulbs or must they be purchased separately?

The kit provides the electronic ballast only; compatible 13 W or 16 W 4-pin PL-C lamps must be bought separately.

Should I select the 13 W or 16 W lamp for this 29 W ballast?

The ballast supports one or two lamps up to 16 W each; choose 13 W lamps for lower output or 16 W lamps for maximum brightness.

What light output can I expect once the ballast is installed with two 16 W lamps?

With two 16 W lamps the system draws approximately 29 W and operates from 0 °F to 158 °F, delivering full programmed-start output instantly.
