Philips Lighting 913701262101 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Philips OPTANIUM IOP2P59N35I ballast run one or two F96T8 lamps?
The OPTANIUM IOP2P59N35I runs one or two F96T8 lamps, wired in parallel so the remaining lamp keeps burning if the other fails. Rated lamp power is 59 W per lamp, and nominal input power is 113-111 W in the two-lamp configuration.
2) Can I use this Philips F96T8 ballast on both 120V and 277V circuits?
Yes. It's a universal voltage ballast, 120 to 277 V at 50 to 60 Hz, so the same part number covers 120V tenant spaces and 277V commercial panels. Input current runs 0.4 A at the high end of the voltage range up to 0.95 A at 120V, which is what you size the branch circuit and fixture count against.
3) Is this F96T8 ballast approved for outdoor fixtures like canopy or parking structure lighting?
Yes, the OPTANIUM 8-foot T8 ballast is rated suitable for outdoor use and carries a CSA certificate. The enclosure is metal, and maximum nominal case temperature is 70 C, so mount it where the fixture keeps the case at or below that figure.
4) Will this ballast fit the channel of my existing 8-foot strip fixture?
The metal case measures 9.5 x 1.3 x 1.0 inches, which is the standard narrow can profile used in 8-foot single- and two-lamp strips. Measure your existing ballast against those three numbers before ordering; if the old unit is a wider case you may need to re-drill the mounting holes in the channel.
5) How far can the ballast be from the lamps if I remote-mount it?
20 feet maximum ballast-to-lamp distance, and that same 20-foot limit applies whether you remote mount, tandem wire two fixtures off one ballast, or through-wire a run. All three configurations are permitted on this OPTANIUM unit.
6) Should I use an instant start or programmed start ballast for my F96T8 strips?
This one is instant start, with a nominal 0.1 second ignition. Instant start is the right choice for 8-foot strip lighting that stays on for long runs, warehouses, parking decks, corridors, because it draws less input power and starts immediately. If the fixtures are on occupancy sensors and cycle many times a day, programmed start is the better lamp-life choice and you'd want a different ballast.
7) Does this ballast meet power quality requirements for commercial and institutional jobs?
Nominal power factor is 0.98 and total harmonic distortion is 10 percent, which puts it inside the under-20-percent THD and high power factor thresholds most commercial and utility rebate specs call for. Lamp current crest factor is 1.6.
8) Will the lights come back on by themselves after a power outage?
Yes. Automatic restart is built in, so after a power interruption the lamps re-ignite without anyone cycling the switch. That matters for stairwells, exterior canopies, and unattended warehouse bays where nobody is on site to reset a fixture.
9) What wire and terminations come on this ballast for the install?
It ships with 18 AWG solid leads and no input or output terminals or connectors, so you're making up wire nut splices to the fixture leads in the channel. Strip length is 0.50/0.375 mm.
10) Is this ballast quiet enough for an office or classroom?
Hum and noise level is rated A, the quietest sound rating class for fluorescent ballasts, so it's acceptable in offices, classrooms, and other low-ambient-noise spaces.
11) How does the Philips 913701262101 ballast come packed for a multi-fixture retrofit?
One ballast per pack, ten packs to an outer box, so a full carton covers ten fixtures. Each unit weighs 350 g. Order it as OPTANIUM IOP2P59N35I, base model IOP2P59N.
