Application Information

SYLVANIA QUICKTRONIC High
Efficiency (QHE) is ideally suited for:

UL Type CC

• Refrigerated cases*

• Walk-in coolers*

• Commercial cabinets

• Display cases

• Applications that could expose
lamp and sockets to vibration and
potential movement

*T8 energy saving lamps should not be used

in applications below 60°F lamp ambient.

Lamp Striation Control, (LSC)

• General lighting applications where
energy saving T8 lamps may striate,
particularly for the F25 energy
saving T8 lamps.

SYLVANIA QUICKTRONIC High Efficiency,
(QHE) Type CC energy saving electronic

T8 ballasts offer four major advantages:

1. Same Light, Less Power!

• Up to 6% in energy savings

compared to standard T8 low power
electronic ballasts without compro­mising light output

• 30-44% energy savings when
compared to F34T12 magnetically
ballasted systems (see table below)

2. UL Type CC compliant: ballasts utilize
a micro-controller based circuit to
reduce arcing caused by loose connec­tions or improper lamp pin to socket
connections.

3. Lamp Striation Control (LSC):

T8 energy saving lamps should be
operated above 60°F, but under certain
conditions the lamps may striate. LSC
circuitry may minimize or eliminate this
condition; however there are limited
applications where LSC circuitry may

System Information

SYLVANIA QUICKTRONIC High
Efficiency (QHE) System advantages:

• Operate from 120V through 277V

• Eliminates “wrong voltage”

• Parallel circuity - keeps
remaining lamps lit if one or
more go out

• Very low harmonic distortion
