Philips Lighting 913700507251 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What lamp does the Philips LC13TPM ballast run, and can it drive two lamps?
The LC13TPM is a single-lamp ballast. It drives one 13W CFQ13W/GX23 compact fluorescent lamp, wired in series. If your fixture has two lamps, this is not the part - you need a two-lamp ballast, because the lamp count here is fixed at one per unit.
2) Can the LC13TPM magnetic ballast be used in an outdoor fixture?
Yes, it is rated suitable for outdoor use and carries a CSA certificate. The housing is metal, type C2, which is what makes it workable in exterior fixtures such as wall packs and bollards. The fixture itself still has to provide the weather enclosure.
3) Can I mount this ballast remotely away from the lamp?
Remote wiring is allowed, up to 30 feet between the ballast and the lamp, using 18AWG solid wire. That is useful when the fixture housing has no room or you want the ballast somewhere serviceable. Note that tandem wiring and through wiring are not permitted with this ballast, so it feeds its own single lamp only.
4) What voltage and circuit load should I plan for with the LC13TPM?
It is a 120V, 60Hz ballast drawing 0.27A nominal at 16W input power, with 1.5A starting current. On a 120V branch circuit that is a small load, but size for the inrush if you are ganging many fixtures on one breaker. It will not run on 277V.
5) Is the Philips LC13TPM UL Recognized?
No. The LC13TPM is not UL Recognized. It holds a CSA certificate and meets the FCC Non-Consumer EMC immunity standard. If your facility spec or AHJ requires a UL Recognized ballast, specify a different unit.
6) Will the LC13TPM fit in a tight fixture channel?
The C2 metal can measures 1.06 x 1.59 x 1.81 inches and weighs 0.295 kg, so it drops into most compact fluorescent fixture cavities. Measure your channel against all three figures before you commit, since the ballast has to sit flat with room for the leads.
7) Is this a normal power factor or high power factor ballast?
Normal power factor. The LC13TPM is rated 0.49 nominal power factor with 15 percent total harmonic distortion (USA). If your spec or utility rebate calls for a high power factor ballast (typically 0.90 and above), this magnetic unit will not meet it.
8) Magnetic or electronic ballast for a 13W GX23 fixture, which should I use?
The LC13TPM is a magnetic preheat ballast, which means a short delay on start (about 1 second nominal ignition time) and an audible hum class A rating rather than the silent, instant start of an electronic unit. Magnetic is the right pick when you are matching an existing magnetic fixture, need a metal-can unit rated for outdoor service, or are doing OEM builds where cost and simplicity matter. Choose electronic if the space is noise sensitive or you need high power factor.
9) Will the lamp relight on its own after a power blip?
Yes. Automatic restart is built in, so the 13W lamp restrikes after an interruption without cycling the switch. Ignition takes about 1 second. That matters on stairwell, corridor, and exterior fixtures where nobody is standing at a switch.
10) How does the LC13TPM ship, and what do I order for a multi-fixture job?
It ships one ballast per pack, 50 packs to an outer box, so a full case covers 50 fixtures. Order under the Philips designation STANDARD LC13TPM, base model LC13TP. Buying by the case is the usual move for a property-wide relamp or an OEM build.
