SYLVANIA QUICKTRONIC High Efficiency
PROStart T8 QUICKSTEP Bi-Level
Dimming ballasts are programmed
rapid start electronic ballasts that will
easily switch from 100% to 50% power
with standard wall switches. The ballast
operates linear and U-bend equivalent
T8 lamps at high efficiency. QUICKSTEP
bi-level step dimming ballasts are specifically designed to meet California’s Energy
Efficiency Standards (Title 24*) for multilevel lighting controls (Section 131). The
combined lamp and ballast system offers
a high efficiency system for T8 luminaires
along with high performance features
that are standard on SYLVANIA High
Efficiency Series ballasts.
The QUICKTRONIC PROStart QUICKSTEP
ballasts are RoHS Compliant featuring
lead-free solder and manufacturing
process and meet the requirements for
the NEMA Premium Electronic Ballast
System Information
SYLVANIA QUICKTRONIC PROStart
QUICKSTEP High Efficiency (QHES) ballasts
operate from 120V through 277V, eliminating
“wrong voltage” wiring errors and reducing
the number of models in inventory by 50%.
QUICKTRONIC QHE PROStart ballast
delivers an optimized programmed rapid
start technology which extends T8 lamp
life and allows over 100,000 switching
cycles for occupancy sensor and building
control systems applications. These ballasts
have two AC line inputs in addition to the
neutral wire. These AC line inputs must
be connected to the same phase of the
line voltage. The two line inputs can be
configured to provide a bi-level light output
system by wiring with two switches. When
both switches are on, the lamps operate at
full light output. When either switch is off,
the lamps operate in a dimmed mode and
the ballast wattage is reduced by 50%.
Alternatively, the ballasts can be controlled
by occupancy sensors allowing for
customized zone controls and various
energy saving configurations.

program. The NEMA Premium program
promotes 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).

Installation Notes
• Install in accordance with National & Local Electric Code
• Ground Ballast Case
• The AC line inputs must be connected to the same phase of the line voltage
• DO NOT CONNECT two separate phases of line voltage to the input of QUICKSTEP ballasts, the ballast will be damaged and not covered by warranty

Special Note: This ballast has LSC (Lamp Striation Control) which minimizes or eliminates striating lamps. Under certain conditions however, T8 lamps may
still striate. This condition will not affect the life or light output of the lamp and will not affect the ballast. Consult lamp manufacturers for additional details.
