Application Information
SYLVANIA QUICKTRONIC
High Efficiency is ideally suited for:
• Any applications where the lowest
power T8 systems are needed for
maximum energy savings
• Energy Retrofits
• Commercial & Retail
• Hospitality & Institutional
• New Construction
SYLVANIA QUICKTRONIC High Efficiency,
(QHE) energy-saving electronic T8 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
• 30-44% energy savings when
compared to F40T12 magnetically
ballasted systems (see table below)
2. Parallel Circuitry: keeps remaining
lamps lit if one or more go out.
3. Small Can Enclosure for:
• low profile fixture design
• transportation, inventory and
ergonomic benefits
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
System Information

(QHE) System advantages:
• Operate from 120V through 277V
• Eliminates “wrong voltage” errors
• Reduces inventory by 50%
• Utilizes Instant Start operation for
• Highest System Efficacy
• Low temperature starting capability
• Very low harmonic distortion (<10%)THD
• Operate at >42kHz to reduce potential
interference with infrared control
