ADV ICN3P32SC35M 32W 120-277V BAL

Instant start electronic ballasts provide a high initial voltage (typically 600V for F32T8 lamps) to start the lamp. This high voltage is required to initiate discharge between the unheated electrodes of the lamp. However, the cold electrodes of lamps operated by an instant start ballast may deteriorate more quickly than the warmed electrodes of lamps operated by a rapid start, program rapid start or programmed start ballast. Lamps operated by instant start ballasts will typically withstand 10-15K switch cycles. Instant start ballasts are typically wired in parallel. This means that if one lamp fails, the other lamps in the circuit will remain lit.
