SYLVANIA QUICKTRONIC High Efficiency,
POWERSENSE T8 ballasts offer several
advantages:
1. Wide Dimming Range: operate linear
fluorescent T8 lamps over a 100-5%
dimming range and provide true versatility in controls selection.
2. Industry’s Most Adaptable Dimming
Ballast: ballasts feature micro-controller
technology for compatibility with:
• low voltage controls
• power line dimmers
• any line voltage from 120V to 277V
3. Unmatched Performance: patented
lamp detection technology that virtually
eliminates variations in brightness from
lamp-to-lamp and provides uniform
lighting throughout the dimming range.
At light levels of >75% unnecessary
lamp-coil power is turned off, delivering
energy efficiences comparable to nondimming Instant start electronic ballast.
This technology also eases installation
and troubleshooting by recognizing
failed lamps, faulty wiring or loose
System Information
QUICKTRONIC POWERSENSE ballasts
operate from standard low voltage
(0-10VDC) fluorescent controllers or
compatible 2-wire power line fluorescent
dimmers, making them ideal for individual
office lighting or automated building
applications, both in new construction
and retrofit projects.
For the individual office or conference
room, installation can be streamlined by
using a 2-wire power line dimmer; eliminating the need for additional control wires.
For more advanced systems, such as
daylight harvesting or building automation
applications, standard low voltage devices
(0-10VDC, Class 1 or 2) are used to control
the lighting system. In this daylight
harvesting example, each lighting fixture
(or fixture row) is controlled by it’s own
photosensor; regulating the light output to
connections, and shutting down. When
the problem is corrected, the system
restarts automatically.
4. NEMA Premium Ballast (NPB) program
compliant. The NPB program promotes
the use of high efficiency T8 electronic
ballasts by meeting or exceeding the
Ballast Efficiency Factors, (BEF) established by the CEE, (Consortium for
compensate for changes in natural
daylight. Depending upon the specific
application, energy savings of up to 60%
compared to fixed output T8 electronic
systems can be realized.

Setting the standard for quality, QUICKTRONIC POWERSENSE is covered by our
QUICK 60+®warranty, the first and most
comprehensive lamp & ballast system
warranty in the industry.
All QUICKTRONIC POWERSENSE models
include a line voltage protection circuit,
which protects the ballast in the event
that line voltage is inadvertently applied
to the low voltage control inputs.
