Advance

A division of Philips Electronics North America, Advance is a full line manufacturer of magnetic and electronic ballasts. Their products power everything from compact fluorescents to high intensity discharge lamps.

Advance offers a wide variety of product offerings including:

Fluorescent Ballasts - Electronic

High frequency electronic ballasts offer high-quality lighting performance with efficient energy consumption. A variety of lamp ignition methods can provide further energy efficiency and/or lamp life improvement.

Energy costs can be reduced by as much as half versus electromagnetic ballasts

Wide variety of lamp starting methods for energy efficiency and prolonging lamp life

High frequency operation operates lamps more efficiently and eliminates hum and visible flicker

Fluorescent Ballasts - Magnetic

From their rugged steel casing to the uniform winding of the coil, superior materials and construction make Advance electromagnetic ballasts the choice for consistent operation and reduced hum.

Uniform, firmly wound coils made of highest quality annealed wire assure consistent operating characteristics

Special thermal-pliable compound dampens vibration and ballast hum

Exclusive ADVAN-guard® automatic reclosing protective device provides Class P thermal protection on selected ballasts

HID Ballasts - Electronic

Electronic HID ballasts improve the performance of HID lighting systems with greater energy efficiency, more consistent lamp color and maximized lumen maintenance and lamp life.

More consistent light output and lamp color regardless of input voltage variation and lamp life age

Lower total of cost of ownership through energy efficiency and maximized lumen maintenance

Quieter and cooler, weigh less and have compact footprints

HID Ballasts - Magnetic

Advance offers the most complete line of high quality magnetic HID ballasts for all lamp types and system voltages. With a wide range of distributor kits and replacement ignitors, Advance conveniently meets the replacement and retrofit needs of customers.

Full range of HID magnetic ballasts for mercury, metal halide, and high and low pressure sodium lamps

Unique, vacuum-pressure-impregnation process to better reinforce electrical insulation, precludes moisture, inhibits noise and dissipates heat

Widest range of prepackaged ballast replacement kits, some of which include the replacement lamp, to meet every application need

LED Drivers

Advance offers a wide range of innovative products that are integral elements of high quality, energy-efficient solid-state lighting solutions. Applications include transportation, traffic, signage and general illumination.

Class 2 operation-Low voltage plus isolation and inherent short circuit protection for safe, no-hazard operation.

Environmental ratings suited to the rigors of lighting applications-Case temperature ratings up to 90C plus low temperature operation down to -40C. Also available with damp-location rating (IP66) specifically tailored to sign applications.

Long 50,000 hour life rating-Matches useful life expectancy of most LEDs. Designed and manufactured using the same stringent standards as Advance's established and successful electronic ballast technology

Neon Power Supplies

Advance has expanded its popular signPRO® famly! Versatile, reliable, and energy-efficient, Advance's new signPRO electronic neon power supplies drive a variety of 5kV, 7.5kV, and 10kV indoor and outdoor neon sign applications.

Self-adjusting output voltage, constant current output, an auto re-start circuit, and ground-fault, open circuit, and overload protection to insure maximum performance and safety

Electronic circuitry, delivering up to 66% energy savings versus magnetic neon transformers

Compact and lightweight design, enhancing ease of handling and installation
