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 compro-mising light
output
•
Maximum energy savings
when
compared to F40T12 magnetically
ballasted systems
2. Parallel Circuitry: keeps remaining
lamps lit if one or more go out.
3. 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
4. New Banded Packaging
• Distributor-friendly for easy stocking
and individual ballast sales
• Reduced waste
• Easy removable bands
• No tangled wires
These ballasts are also RoHS compliant
and feature lead-free solder and manufac-
turing process.
QUICKTRONIC High Efficiency (QHE)
systems are also covered by the QUICK 60

comprehensive lamp & ballast system
