## Description

Philips Advance ICN-2P32-N 32W T8, 120/277V Electronic Fluorescent Ballast, 2 Lamp

Review: Works Great, With A Catch - If you are using LED bulbs (2), you must get T8 and only T8. T12/T8 won't work in this ballast. I bought this ballast to replace the one in my aquarium light hood. I decided to get LED bulbs for the fish tank. I had an LED and a flourescent tube when I used it for my bearded dragons, so it worked with LEDs, right? I installed two GE Universal Color Select bulbs and they worked great, for a few days. Then one went out. I checked and the bulb was good. The other bulb didn't light in the slot, either. In comes this ballast. I installed it and the bulbs. I turned it on and only one bulb worked. Huh? I figured that maybe the tombstones for that side were bad, so I replaced them. Both bulbs worked for a few days and then the other bulb went out. Then I noticed that it only worked with the bulb that was installed first. I know, weird. I called GE and spoke to a tech. He said they never tested this ballast with their LED bulbs. He looked it up and found the problem. The Universal bulbs are meant for T12/T8 ballasts (they accept both). This ballast only accepts T8 LED bulbs. It doesn't matter with fourescents, you can use either, as I have in the past with the same ballast model. I had to get the GE Replacement LED bulbs because they were strictly for T8 ballasts. I returned the bulbs to Lowes and got the Replacements and they work!
Review: Easy to install, worked perfectly - Man, have Ballasts' increased in price. Bought this one as it was the least expensive I could find, still cheaper than replacing the entire fixture. Took less than 15 minutes to install... these used to be less than $10; but everyhing has gone up in price. Would buy again whenever I need another Ballast. Does the job for me -- running 2 T8 bulbs, 4 foot

## Questions & Answers

A: The last two digits of the catalog number. The ICN-2P32-N is a newer version.

**Q: Is this ballast compatible with Honeywell t83240hbxxx led bulbs?**
A: I'm surprised and disappointed. Honeywell had sent me a list of compatible ballasts and this looked like one of them.

**Q: Will this ballast replace icn-2p32-sc?**
A: The ballast are exactly the same except only the SCI is rated for 277 volts. Check the line voltage. if you have 120 volts either ballast will work.

A: No the ICN-2P32-N ballast is for 2 32 watt T8 bulbs. The HB-234-TP is for 2 40 watt T12 Bulbs. Try an Advance ICN-2P40-N, this should work for you.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This appears to be a good product but was purchased for backup on an old light.

All good. Received in good time. Packed securely. Ballasts are unusually small these days. Bought for backup.
