Application Information
SYLVANIA QUICKTRONIC 
32 UNV is ideally suited for:
• Commercial
• Retail
• Hospitality
• Institutional
• New Construction
• Retrofit
SYLVANIA QUICKTRONIC SYSTEM 32 UNV 
ISL (LP) electronic T8 ballasts offer
several advantages:
1. Operate OCTRON T8 lamps with 
maximum efficacy and high lumen 
output
• 30-45% energy savings when 
compared to F34T12 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. New Banded Packaging 
• Distributor-friendly for easy stocking
and individual ballast sales
• Reduced waste
• Easy removable bands
• No tangled wires
System Information
SYLVANIA QUICKTRONIC SYSTEM 32 (QTP) 
UNV 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 
systems
