Philips Lighting ICF2S26M1BS35M – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Philips Advance ICF2S26M1BS35M ballast run one 26W CFL, or does it have to have two lamps connected?
It runs either one or two 26W 4-pin CFLs. The lamp count is listed as 1/2 piece, so single-lamp operation is a valid wiring option. Note the lamps are wired in series, and the maximum ballast-to-lamp distance changes with lamp count in remote wiring: 15 feet with one lamp, 6 feet with two.
2) What CFL lamp does this Philips SmartMate 26W ballast actually take?
CFQ26W/G24Q, the 26W quad-tube compact fluorescent with the 4-pin G24q base. The 2-pin G24d version will not work on it, since 2-pin lamps have an integral starter and this is a 4-pin programmed start ballast.
3) Can I use this ballast on a 277V circuit as well as 120V?
Yes. The SmartMate ICF2S26M1BS35M accepts 120 through 277 volts on the same unit, at 50/60 Hz, so one part number covers 120V, 208V, 240V and 277V branch circuits. That's useful if you're standardizing stock across a building with mixed distribution.
4) Will this CFL ballast fit in my existing fixture channel?
The M1 metal can measures 4.98 x 2.4 x 0.98 inches, with mounting lengths given as 4.60, 4.20 and 2.00 inches and a 2.40 inch width. Measure your channel opening against the 4.98 inch overall footprint before you pull the old one.
5) Does this ballast come with leads, or do I have to land wires myself?
No wires are supplied. It uses poke-in terminals, so you land solid 18AWG conductors directly in the can. Input terminals are marked black and white, outputs are red, yellow and blue. Strip length is specified at 0.375. Stranded wire is not what these connectors are set up for.
6) How far can I mount this ballast from the lamps if I'm remote mounting?
Remote mounting allows 15 feet to a single lamp, or 6 feet when two lamps are connected. Tandem and through wiring are both permitted as well, each with a 6 foot limit on the red lead for two-lamp runs. Exceeding those distances risks starting problems on a programmed start ballast.
7) Is this Philips SmartMate ballast rated for outdoor fixtures?
Yes, it's rated suitable for outdoor use in a metal housing, with a maximum case temperature of 75 C. The case temperature limit is what governs the install: in an enclosed outdoor fixture, check the temperature at the ballast can, not the ambient air.
8) What certifications does this CFL ballast carry for a commercial or healthcare job?
UL Listed, CSA certified and RoHS compliant, and it appears on the CEC listing. It is not Energy Star, not CEE rated and not NEMA Premium, so if your spec or utility rebate calls for one of those, this part won't satisfy it.
9) I have the base model number ICF2S26M1BS on the old ballast label. Is this the same part?
ICF2S26M1BS is the base model, and the full orderable catalog number is ICF2S26M1BS35M in the Philips Advance SmartMate family. If the label in your fixture reads the base number, this is the matching part.
10) How much power does a two-lamp 26W CFL fixture draw on this ballast?
51 watts input with both 26W lamps running. Ballast factor is 1.0, so lamps put out their full rated lumens, and the ballast efficacy factor is 1.96. Power factor is 0.98 with total harmonic distortion held to 10 percent or less, which keeps it inside typical commercial spec limits for THD.
11) Is this ballast quiet enough for an office or exam room?
It's Sound Rating A, the quietest class on the fluorescent ballast scale, which is what you want in offices, libraries, classrooms and patient rooms where a hum carries.
12) Is the Philips Advance ICF2S26M1BS35M sold individually or by the case?
Each order unit is one ballast. Case quantity is 16, so if you're buying for a re-lamp across a building you can order in multiples of 16 to take full cases. Net weight per piece is 0.196 kg.
