Application Information
SYLVANIA QUICKTRONIC
High Efficiency is ideally suited for:
• Any applications where the highest
light output for the lowest amount of
power T8 systems are needed for
maximum energy savings
• High bay lighting
• Energy Retrofits
• Commercial & Retail
• Hospitality & Institutional
• New Construction
SYLVANIA QUICKTRONIC High Efficiency
(QHE) energy-saving electronic T8 ISH
(PLUS) ballasts offer several advantages:
1. Same Light, Less Power!
• Up to 6% in energy savings
compared to standard T8 low power
electronic ballasts without compromising light output
• 30-60% energy savings when
compared to F34T12 magnetically
ballasted systems
2. High Light Output :
• Higher lumens per fixture
• Fewer fixtures required for same
light output
• Ideal for high bays
3. Parallel Circuitry: keeps remaining
lamps lit if one or more go out.
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) estab-
