Description
ADVANCE Centium Electronic Fluorescent Ballast, Universal 120V-277V Input, One F17T8 F25T8 or F32T8 Lamps, Instant Start
Advance Centium 1-Lamp 32W T8 Electronic Fluorescent Ballast (ICN-1P32-N)
The Philips Advance Centium ICN-1P32-N by Signify is an energy-efficient commercial electronic ballast engineered to operate a single F32T8 32W linear fluorescent lamp. Featuring universal IntelliVolt 120–277V line voltage input and an Instant Start circuit design, this high-performance ballast provides instant-on illumination, high electrical efficiency, and low harmonic distortion, making it a reliable standard for single-lamp troffers, wraparounds, strip fixtures, and task lighting retrofits.
Key Features & Performance Benefits
- Advance Centium Efficiency: Engineered for commercial long-burn cycles, delivering high electrical efficiency, high power factor (>0.98), and Total Harmonic Distortion below 10% (THD < 10%).
- IntelliVolt Wide Input Voltage: Automatically operates across any standard input voltage from 120V to 277V at 50/60 Hz without needing manual tap selection.
- Instant Start Ignition: Strikes the arc immediately without filament preheat, providing maximum energy efficiency for general office, retail, and corridor installations with long continuous runtime.
- Compact “N” Can Form Factor: Slim, low-profile rectangular metal enclosure with universal mounting slots fits easily into narrow fixture channels, troffers, and sign raceways.
- Safety & Compliance: UL Listed (Class P, Type 1 Outdoor), CSA Certified, Class A Sound Rated (virtually silent operation), and RoHS compliant.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does "ICN-1P32-N" stand for in Advance's catalog?
"ICN" designates the Centium electronic series with IntelliVolt (120–277V), "1" indicates single-lamp capability, "P" stands for Parallel/Instant Start operation, "32" denotes the 32W T8 primary lamp type, and "N" specifies the standard compact rectangular metal enclosure footprint.
What is the difference between ICN-1P32-N (Instant Start) and Programmed Start ballasts?
Instant Start ballasts (marked with "P") ignite the lamp without preheating the cathodes, maximizing energy efficiency for installations with long operating cycles (over 3 hours per start). Programmed Start ballasts (marked with "S") preheat cathodes, making them preferable for frequent switching applications like occupancy sensor zones.
Can this ballast operate reduced-wattage Energy Saver T8 lamps?
Yes. The ICN-1P32-N is fully compatible with 25W, 28W, and 30W energy-saving F32T8/ES lamps, providing additional electrical efficiency in retrofit environments.
