SYLVANIA QUICKTRONIC High Efficiency
PROStart QUICKSTEP is a programmed
rapid start electronic T8 ballasts that will
easily switch from 100% to 50% power
with standard wall switches. The
QUICKSTEP ballast will operate the family
of linear and U-bend equivalent T8 lamps
at high efficiency. QUICKSTEP bi-level step
dim ballasts are specifically designed to
meet California’s Energy Efficiency
Standards (Title 24) for multi-level lighting
controls, (Section 131). The combined
lamp and ballast system offers a high
efficiency system for T8 luminaires along
with high performance features that are
standard on SYLVANIA HIGH EFFICIENCY
Series ballasts.
QUICKTRONIC QHE PROStart delivers an
optimized programmed rapid start
technology which extends T8 lamp life
and allows over 100,000 switching cycles
for occupancy sensor and building control
systems applications.
System Information
SYLVANIA QUICKTRONIC PROStart
QUICKSTEP High Efficiency (QHES) ballasts
operate from 120V through 277V, eliminating
“wrong voltage” wiring errors and reducing
the number of models in inventory by 50%.
QUICKSTEP QHES PROStart system has
two AC line inputs in addition to the neutral
wire. These AC line inputs must be
connected to the same phase of the line
voltage. The two line inputs can be
configured to provide a bi-level light output
system by wiring with two switches. When
both switches are on, the lamps operate at
full light output. When either switch is off,
the lamps operate in a dimmed mode and
the ballast wattage is reduced by 50%.
Alternatively, QUICKSTEP ballasts can be
controlled by occupancy sensors allowing
for customized zone controls and various
energy saving configurations.
The QUICKTRONIC PROStart QUICKSTEP
ballasts also meets the requirements for
the NEMA Premium Ballast, (NPB)
program. The NPB program promotes the
use of high efficiency T8 electronic
ballasts by meeting or exceeding the
