What it is

The Philips IMH-39-G-LF is a 39 W electronic HID ballast designed for a single metal halide lamp. It operates on a universal 120-277 V AC input at 50 or 60 Hz and carries ANSI code C130/M130. The unit is rated for indoor use only and starts reliably at temperatures down to minus four degrees Fahrenheit.

Who it suits

Installers maintaining or upgrading commercial or industrial fixtures that require a pulse-start ballast for one 39 W metal halide lamp will find this a direct fit. It is not intended for residential decorative lighting, for fixtures that need multi-lamp operation, or for any outdoor or damp-location installation. Buyers who need a different ANSI code or a higher lamp wattage should look elsewhere.

Capacity and headroom

The ballast delivers a ballast factor of one, so the lamp runs at its rated 39 W while the input draws 43 to 44 W. This leaves minimal overhead on a loaded circuit, so plan branch capacity accordingly. It comfortably handles the specified single lamp within the 120-277 V range but cannot drive multiple lamps or higher-wattage metal halide types.

Questions about this item

What lamp and socket does the IMH-39-G-LF need to operate?

It supports one metal-halide lamp up to 39 W with ANSI code C130/M130.

Can the ballast share a 120 V or 277 V circuit with legacy magnetic ballasts?

Yes, its 120-277 V auto-range input and 50/60 Hz rating let it run on the same supply as older gear.

How do I confirm the ballast is running correctly once installed?

The lamp should strike at the -4 °F minimum starting temperature and the input power will settle between 43 and 44 W.
