SYLVANIA QTP 2x32T8/UNV PSX-TC | Quicktronic Professional Series 2-Lamp Ballast

The Sylvania Quicktronic Professional Series (QTP 2x32T8/UNV PSX-TC) is a high-performance **2-lamp Programmed Rapid Start electronic ballast** engineered for T8 fluorescent lighting systems. Designed to maximize energy efficiency, this ballast provides robust operation across a versatile range of T8 lamp types, including energy-saving options. Utilizing advanced **Programmed Rapid Start technology**, it significantly extends lamp life in applications involving frequent switching, such as occupancy sensors and building management systems. Its **universal voltage (120-277V)** compatibility and compact small-can enclosure make it an ideal choice for both new construction and energy-retrofit projects aiming to meet stringent sustainability codes.

High-Efficiency Performance and Versatile Compatibility

This electronic ballast meets **NEMA Premium Electronic Ballast Program** requirements, ensuring maximum utility incentives and energy savings. By operating in parallel, the ballast allows remaining lamps to continue functioning even if one lamp fails, reducing maintenance downtime. Its capability to deliver 30-60% energy savings compared to traditional magnetic T12 systems makes it a cornerstone for cost-effective facility lighting.

• Programmed Rapid Start: Gently preheats lamp cathodes to provide optimal strike conditions, extending lamp life by up to 50% in frequently switched applications.
• Lamp Striation Control (LSC): Integrated technology minimizes or eliminates the swirling (striations) often associated with modern energy-saving T8 lamps.
• Universal Voltage (120-277V): Simplifies inventory and installation by allowing one SKU to handle standard building power configurations.
• Compact Enclosure: The small-can design allows for easy integration into shallow fixture housings and tight spaces.
