Instant start. Universal voltage. Parallel wiring.
The ICN-4P32-N is your go-to ballast for T8 fluorescents in commercial and industrial installs. It powers up fast, runs quietly, and keeps your lights on even if one lamp goes out — thanks to its parallel lamp connection.
Engineered for high efficiency, it runs on 120–277V, keeps THD under 10%, and boasts a power factor >0.99, which means it works smarter, not harder.
✅ You need this if:
-
You’re retrofitting or building out a T8 fluorescent system
-
You want a ballast that supports 1–4 lamps and doesn’t kill them early
-
You need universal voltage support (120V–277V)
-
You care about energy efficiency and keeping your THD low
-
You want a quiet, reliable install in offices, warehouses, or schools
❌ You don’t need this if:
-
You’re switching to LED — this one is strictly fluorescent
-
You need programmed start for high-switching environments
-
You’re not into double-checking lamp compatibility (just scroll down — it's worth it)
-
You plan to return it after testing (installed ballasts = final sale)
