Advance 71A5792001D – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will this Advance 250W metal halide ballast kit run my lamp if it's an M138 or M153?
Yes on both. The Advance 71A5792001D kit is built for ANSI M138/153 metal halide lamps at 250 watts, one lamp per ballast. If the lamp on your pole is stamped with any other ANSI designation, it is not a match, so read the lamp base or the old ballast label before ordering.
2) Is this a pulse start or probe start ballast?
Pulse start. It fires the lamp through an igniter rather than relying on a probe electrode, which is why a pulse start ballast will not run a probe start lamp and vice versa. Match the lamp to the M138/153 pulse start designation or the system will not strike.
3) Will this ballast fit inside my existing parking lot fixture housing?
The core and coil measures 4.75 x 4.25 x 3.10 inches and the assembly weighs 10.8 pounds. Measure the ballast tray or the wireway in your shoebox or wallpack against those numbers before you pull the old one, and make sure the tray hardware is rated for the weight if it mounts overhead.
4) Is this ballast approved for a code-inspected commercial job?
It carries UL recognition, a CSA certificate, and RoHS compliance, and it uses Class P thermal protection, which shuts the ballast down on an overheat condition. Those are the listings an inspector or a spec writer looks for on a 250W HID retrofit in a commercial or municipal installation.
5) Does the kit come with the capacitor, or do I order that separately?
It is a quad kit, so the capacitor is part of it: 17 MFD is the rated capacitance for this 250W assembly. If you are replacing only a failed cap on an existing Advance assembly, match that 17 MFD value; if the core and coil is also cooked, take the whole kit.
6) Can I put this 250W metal halide ballast on a dimmer for after-hours lighting?
No. This magnetic HID ballast is not dimmable. For a parking lot or warehouse where you want to drop light levels at night, you would need a control scheme outside the ballast, such as switching fixtures or circuits, or a different lighting technology altogether.
7) Will I get the same light output from my fixtures with this replacement ballast?
Ballast factor is 1, so the lamp runs at its rated lumen output rather than a de-rated level. Power factor is 0.9, which keeps line current reasonable across a run of pole lights on one circuit. Swapping this in should give you the same footcandles on the pavement as the original.
8) Can this ballast go in an outdoor wallpack or pole fixture?
Yes, it is built for outdoor use as long as it sits inside the fixture's own weatherproof housing or ballast compartment. That covers the usual work: parking lots, street lighting, security lighting, and building exteriors. It is not meant to be mounted in open weather on its own.
9) Where is this Advance ballast made?
Made in the USA. For public agency, school district, or federal work that carries domestic sourcing language in the spec, that country of origin is usually the detail procurement needs on file with the submittal.
