32W T8 – fluorescent lamps
2-lamp QHE 2x32T8 UNV ISH HT SC
3-lamp QHE 3x32T8 UNV ISH HT SC
Also operates:
FB32, FB31, F30/SS (30W), FB30/SS
(30W), FB29/SS (29W), F28/SS (28W)
& F25/SS (25W)

Key System Features

  • High Efficiency Systems over 90% efficient

  • 90°C maximum case temp.

  • Lamp Striation Control (LSC)

  • Over 100 LPW (lumens/watt) with energy-saving lamps

  • Lowest power T8 PLUS Systems

  • Universal voltage (120-277V)

  • 1.18-1.20 ballast factor

  • 30-50% Energy savings

  • Min. Starting Temp:
    • -20°F(-29°C) for T8 lamps
    • 60°F (16°C) for Energy Saving T8 x lamps

  • <10% THD

  • Virtually eliminates lamp flicker

  • RoHS compliant

  • Lead-free solder and manufacturing process

Application Information

QUICKTRONIC High Efficiency ballasts are ideally suited for:

  • Any applications where the highest light output for the lowest amountpower T8 systems are needed formaximum energy savings
  • High bay lighting
  • Energy Retrofits
  • Commercial & Retail
  • Hospitality & Institutional
  • New Construction

QUICKTRONIC High Efficiency (QHE) energy-saving electronic T8 ISH (PLUS) ballasts offer several advantages:

  • Same Light, Less Power!
  • Up to 6% in energy savings compared to standard T8 low power electronic ballasts without compromising light output.
  • Maximum energy savings when compared to F40T12 magnetically ballasted systems
  • High Light Output:
  • Higher lumens per fixture
  • Fewer fixtures required for same light output
  • Parallel Circuitry: keeps remaining lamps life one or more go out.
  • 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. These ballasts are also RoHS compliant and feature lead-free solder and manufacturing process.
  • High Ambient Temp: specifically designed for those applications where the ballast is subject to higher ambient temperatures, such as high bays in industrial installations.

System Information

QUICKTRONIC High Efficiency (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 >42 kHz to reduce potential interference with infrared control systems
