Philips 496810 Advance 4-Bulb Fluorescent Ballast

The Philips Advance 496810 is an electronic fluorescent ballast designed to drive four 32-watt T8 fluorescent tubes from a single 120-volt power source. As an electronic ballast, it replaces older magnetic technology with a lighter, quieter, and more energy-efficient alternative. Its compact and lightweight construction simplifies installation in existing fixtures, and it is well suited for general retrofit applications where an aging or failed ballast needs to be swapped out without modifying the fixture itself.

Certified by CSA, ETL, FCC, and UL, the 496810 meets the safety and electromagnetic compliance standards required for residential and light commercial use in North America. Its energy-saving design helps lower electricity consumption across multi-lamp fixtures, while its quiet operation ensures it won't introduce distracting hum or buzz into living or working spaces. For anyone maintaining T8 fluorescent lighting systems, this ballast offers a dependable and cost-effective solution.
