Advance Centium ICN-2S110-SC Electronic Fluorescent Ballast Guide
Quick Answer: The Advance Centium ICN-2S110-SC (Signify / Philips Advance) is a high-output 2-lamp commercial electronic fluorescent ballast engineered to operate 1 or 2 8-foot (96-inch) T12 high-output (HO) or slimline lamps (such as F96T12/HO 110W, F96T12/HO/ES 95W, and F72T12/HO) as well as 8-foot T8/HO lamps on universal 120–277V line voltage. Featuring Rapid Start ignition, IntelliVolt auto-voltage sensing, a 0.88 Ballast Factor, cold-start capability down to -20°F, and a compact Small Can (SC) metal enclosure, it serves as the premier energy-saving electronic retrofit for legacy magnetic 8-foot commercial and industrial fixtures.
Advance Centium ICN-2S110-SC Overview & Key Features
The Advance Centium ICN-2S110-SC ballast delivers dependable high-output operation, cold-temperature starting, and significant energy savings when upgrading magnetic T12/HO systems:
- Legacy High-Output Retrofit: Directly replaces bulky, inefficient magnetic 8-foot ballasts, reducing total fixture wattage while sustaining high lumen output.
- IntelliVolt Universal Voltage: Operates seamlessly across input voltages from 120V to 277V AC at 50/60 Hz without manual tap selection.
- Cold-Temperature Ignition: Reliable starting down to -20°F (-29°C), making it suitable for cold-storage rooms, unconditioned warehouses, and outdoor enclosed signs.
- Small Can (SC) Form Factor: Replaces heavy legacy magnetic core-and-coil housings with a lightweight, low-profile 9.5-inch metal enclosure.
- High Electrical Quality: Commercial power quality with a high power factor (>0.98) and Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) under 10%.

Installation & Wiring Guidelines
- Power Disconnect: Always shut off main AC electrical power at the circuit breaker panel prior to servicing or installing the ballast.
- Series Rapid Start Wiring: Wire the input line leads (Black/Line, White/Neutral) and output leads according to the wiring diagram on the ballast label. In series Rapid Start circuitry, both lamps must be functional and correctly seated for the circuit to ignite.
- Enclosure Grounding & Thermal Dissipation: Securely fasten the metal SC housing to the grounded metal fixture enclosure to ensure solid electrical grounding and adequate thermal heat transfer.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does "ICN-2S110-SC" stand for in Advance's catalog?
"I" designates IntelliVolt (120–277V), "CN" represents the Centium commercial series, "2" indicates 2-lamp maximum capacity, "S" stands for Rapid Start, "110" indicates 110W T12/HO lamps, and "SC" denotes the Small Can enclosure style.
Can the ICN-2S110-SC replace magnetic 8-foot T12/HO ballasts?
Yes. The ICN-2S110-SC is the standard electronic replacement for older magnetic ballasts (such as Advance R-2S110-TP and V-2S110-TP), offering quieter operation, universal 120–277V capability, and lower overall power consumption.
Can this ballast operate 95W Energy-Saving T12/HO lamps?
Yes. The ICN-2S110-SC is UL listed to operate standard 110W F96T12/HO lamps, energy-saving 95W F96T12/HO/ES lamps, 6-foot F72T12/HO lamps, and 8-foot T8/HO lamps.
