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
