Philips BODINE B94CGU Emergency Ballast

This compact fluorescent emergency ballast provides backup illumination for a single 4-pin lamp. It operates on an input voltage range of 120 to 277V AC and delivers initial lumens from 300 to 750 lm. The steel housing measures 9 1/2 inches in length with a standard profile.

Suitable Applications and Limitations

It suits installations requiring 90 minutes of emergency illumination with a 24-hour recharge cycle. The unit supports a maximum bulb wattage of 42 W for one lamp. It is not for fixtures needing multiple lamp support or higher lumen output beyond the 750 lm maximum.
