Philips Lighting Core & Coil HID Ballast, 150W Metal Halide, Multi-Tap 120/208/240/277V
The Philips Lighting Core & Coil HID ballast is a Magnetic HID unit engineered for 150W Metal Halide (150 MH) lamps, ANSI code M102-M142. This ballast uses an HX-HPF (High Reactance High Power Factor) circuit and accepts multi-tap 120/208/240/277V input at 60 Hz, with a 0.9 nominal power factor and 1.0 nominal ballast factor for stable, code-compliant lamp performance. It is UL Recognized (ULR) and rated suitable for outdoor use, making it a reliable core and coil replacement ballast for existing 150W MH fixtures.
