Philips Lighting LC13TPM – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What lamp does the Philips Advance LC13TPM ballast run?
The LC13TPM drives one 13W two-pin compact fluorescent lamp, specifically a CFQ13W/GX23 base type. It is a single-lamp ballast only, so a two-lamp fixture needs a different ballast. Two-pin lamps have the starter built into the base, which matches this ballast's preheat starting method.
2) Will this 13W ballast work on 277V?
No. The LC13TPM is a 120V only, 60 Hz magnetic ballast. On a 277V circuit you need a ballast rated for that voltage. Operating input current at 120V is 0.27 A with a 1.5 A starting current, so size the branch circuit and any fixture wiring accordingly.
3) Will the LC13TPM fit inside my fixture channel?
The metal housing measures 1.06 x 1.59 x 1.81 inches, with an overall length of 3.06 inches and 2.75 inches between mounting centers. Mounting holes are 0.19 inch diameter. Measure your existing ballast's hole spacing against that 2.75 inch figure before ordering, since magnetic ballast footprints vary.
4) Can I mount this ballast remotely, away from the lamp?
Remote mounting is allowed, up to 30 feet between ballast and lamp. Tandem and through wiring are not permitted with this unit, so each ballast serves its own single lamp on its own run. Leads are 18 AWG solid wire.
5) Is this ballast rated for an outdoor or unheated fixture?
Yes, the LC13TPM is rated as suitable for outdoor use, and it restarts automatically after a lamp is replaced or power is restored. Ignition time is about 1 second. It carries UL, CSA and RoHS marks.
6) Is the LC13TPM magnetic or electronic, and will it hum in an office space?
It's a magnetic fluorescent ballast with a preheat start, not electronic. Sound rating is A, the quietest magnetic class, so it suits occupied interior areas. Lamp current crest factor is 1.5 and maximum total harmonic distortion is 15 percent.
7) Is the LC13TPM sold individually or by the case?
Each order unit is a single ballast. Philips packs them 50 to a case, so a property manager standardizing a building can order by the case count. The unit weighs 0.295 kg.
8) Is LC13TPM the same as LC13TP?
LC13TPM is the catalog number to order; LC13TP is the base model designation within the Philips Advance Standard family. The M suffix version is the 120V, single 13W two-pin magnetic unit described here.
