Application Information
SYLVANIA QUICKTRONIC
PROStart T8 is ideally suited for:
• High bay
• Warehouses
• Applications where extended lamp life
is required to reduce maintenance
costs
• Areas where frequent switching is
desired
• Occupancy sensor usage
• Building control systems
• Areas that are underlit
SYLVANIA QUICKTRONIC PROStart
programmed rapid start electronic T8
ballasts offer eight major advantages:
1. Operate 32W linear and U-bend equivalent T8 lamps at High Efficiency and high
ballast factor which increases light levels
while optimizing system performance.
2. Longer Lamp Life: System PSH,
(Programmed Start High Ballast Factor)
is the first SYLVANIA high ballast factor
model to extend lamp life which is ideal
for applications where long lamp life is
desired to reduce maintenance costs.
3. High Ambient Temperature: specifically
designed for those applications where
the ballast is subjected to higher
ambient temperatures, such as high
bays in industrial installations.
4. Parallel Circuitry: keeps remaining
lamps lit if one or more go out. First
SYLVANIA PROStart ballast to offer
parallel lamp operation.
5. Available in 2, 3 & 4-lamp models
which allows great flexibility for various
light levels in high bay applications to
replace HID or T12HO lighting systems.
6. NEMA Premium Ballast (NPB) program
compliant. The NPB program promotes
System Information
SYLVANIA QUICKTRONIC High Efficiency
(QHE) System advantages:
• Operate from 120V through 277V
• Eliminates “wrong voltage” errors
• Reduces inventory by 50%
• Utilizes Programmed Rapid Start
operation for:
• Highest System Efficacy
• Longer Life
• Over 100,000 switching cycles for
occupancy sensor and building control
systems applications.
• Operate at >42Hz to reduce potential
interference with infrared control
systems
Type CC, Lamp Striation Control
& Parallel Operation
High Ballast Factor
the use of high efficiency T8 electronic
ballasts by meeting or exceeding the
Ballast Efficiency Factors, (BEF) established by the CEE, (Consortium for
Energy Efficiency). For additional information on this program go to:
www.cee1.org or www.nema.org
7. 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.

8. 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
not entirely mitigate lamp striations.

additional details.)
