Philips Lighting 913710209004 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What lamps does the Philips SMARTMATE ICF2S42M2LDK ballast run?
It drives one or two 42W CFL lamps of the CFTR42W/GX24Q type, at a rated lamp power of 42 W. The lamps are wired in series, so a failed lamp takes the pair out together. If your fixture uses a different pin base or a lower wattage compact fluorescent, this is not the ballast for it.
2) Will this Philips 42W CFL ballast work on 277 volt building power?
Yes. The SMARTMATE ICF2S42M2LDK accepts any input from 120 to 277 V at 50 to 60 Hz, so the same part covers 120V residential-style circuits and 277V commercial lighting branch circuits. Input current runs 0.33 A minimum to 0.78 A maximum depending on where in that voltage range you land, with nominal input power of 93 W.
3) Will this ballast fit in the can I'm pulling the old one out of?
The metal M2 housing measures 4.98 x 3.0 x 1.29 inches. Measure the existing ballast cavity against those three numbers before you commit, since the M2 case is a small-can form factor and not the long narrow shape used on linear fluorescent gear. Piece weight is 0.404 kg.
4) Does the Philips SMARTMATE ICF2S42M2LDK come with lead wires, or do I supply my own?
No wires are attached. It uses poke-in connectors, so you land your own solid 18 AWG conductors directly into the terminals with a 0.375 strip length. Input terminals are marked black and white, outputs are red, yellow and blue. Stranded wire is not what these terminals are specified for, so plan on solid conductor for the connections.
5) How far can I mount this ballast from the lamps in a remote-wired fixture?
Remote wiring is allowed, with a limit of 15 feet when running a single lamp and 6 feet when running two. For tandem or through-wired layouts, the red lead on a two-lamp run is limited to 6 feet. Exceed those distances and starting reliability on a programmed start ballast goes out the window.
6) Can I use this 42W CFL ballast in an outdoor or unheated fixture?
It is rated suitable for outdoor use, with a maximum case temperature of 75 C at the hot spot. That makes it workable in canopy, soffit and parking-structure fixtures as long as the enclosure keeps the case under that number. It also restarts automatically after a lamp is replaced or power is restored, which matters on outdoor and unattended fixtures.
7) Is the Philips SMARTMATE ICF2S42M2LDK a programmed start ballast, and why does that matter for occupancy-sensor spaces?
Programmed start, with a 1.5 second ignition time. Programmed start preheats the cathodes before striking the arc, which is what you want on restrooms, stairwells and corridors where an occupancy sensor cycles the lamps dozens of times a day. Instant start gear in that duty burns lamp ends off early.
8) What light output should I expect compared to the ballast I'm replacing?
Ballast factor is 0.97 nominal, so lamp output lands just under full rated lumens. If the existing ballast in the fixture is a 0.87 low-output unit, expect the space to read brighter after the swap; if it is a 1.0 unit, the change is negligible. Power factor is 0.98 and total harmonic distortion is 10 percent, which keeps it inside what most commercial lighting specs call for.
9) Is the ICF2S42M2LDK the same as the ICF2S42M2LD?
The ICF2S42M2LDK is the poke-in connector version built on the ICF2S42M2LD base model. Electrically they share the same platform designation, but the K version is the one specified with poke-in terminals and no factory leads, so on a jobsite the difference shows up in how you land the wiring, not in lamp compatibility.
10) Does the Philips SMARTMATE 42W CFL ballast carry a CSA certificate?
Yes, it holds a CSA certificate, which is what a Canadian inspector or a spec calling for CSA-certified ballast gear will be looking for. EMC immunity is to the FCC Non-Consumer standard, appropriate for commercial and industrial installations rather than residential.
11) Will this ballast hum in a quiet space like a library or exam room?
It carries a Class A sound rating, the quietest fluorescent ballast noise class, so it is the right pick for offices, reading rooms and patient areas where a buzzing fixture gets a complaint call. Crest factor is 1.5 nominal.
12) How many Philips ICF2S42M2LDK ballasts come in a case?
They are sold one ballast per pack, with 12 packs to an outer carton. If you are re-ballasting a floor of downlights, order in multiples of 12 to take full cases.
