💡 Philips Advance ICF 2S42 M2 LD SmartMate IntelliVolt: The Ultimate Lighting Control Solution Review

I hate the ballast that fluorescent lights require but it's on a photocell and I can't convert it to LED. This ballast, along with new bulbs, did the trick.

Used to replace the ballast in Northern Lights Sadelite 10,000 (http://www.amazon.com/Sadelite-Spectrum-Light-Therapy-Beige/dp/B000YQNGII). , and has been working for this purpose 2 years.

I have been a professional home improvement for 14 years. It was a perfect and easy replacement for a CFL downlight and the price here was better than my local electricity supplier. I would buy this again.

11/19/13. It works and is exactly the same as the one he replaced, only he died. Removing the wires from the old one and putting them in these was easy once you understood how the wire holders work. It has worked flawlessly since installation.

This replaces the 42w ballast on my Blue Max craft lamp. The first regular ballast failed and was replaced under warranty. The second failed under warranty. Poor reliability led me to this Philips unit at 1/3 the price of the Blue Max unit. It has pluggable wire connectors and you really need to use #18 solid wire as advertised. Stranded will not work. easy to install,
