Product Overview

The Sylvania Quicktronic Powersense QHE 2x54T5HO/UNV DIM-TCL is a high-efficiency, dimmable electronic ballast designed for T5HO, Dulux T5, Circline, and select T8 fluorescent lamps. Operating at 120V or 277V with a normal ballast factor, it delivers optimal performance and precise control for commercial and industrial lighting applications. The wide 100–1% dimming range allows smooth light level adjustment, while the advanced microcontroller ensures reliable operation with low-voltage and power-line dimming systems.

This ballast features self-diagnostic technology that monitors lamp status, automatically shuts down in fault conditions, and restarts once the issue is corrected. The result is even brightness, extended lamp life, and reduced maintenance.

Why Choose This Product

• 100–1% smooth dimming: Compatible with PENTRON HO, Circline, and DULUX T5 lamps – ideal for applications requiring variable light levels.
• Advanced microcontroller: Works with both low-voltage and power-line dimmers, supporting 120V–277V inputs for flexible installation.
• Self-diagnostic technology: Patented lamp detection ensures even brightness across all lamps and automatically shuts down to protect the ballast when faults occur.
• Automatic restart: System resets automatically once a failed lamp or wiring issue is corrected – no manual intervention needed.
• Energy efficient: Reduces energy consumption compared to standard magnetic ballasts, lowering operating costs in offices, schools, and retail spaces.
• Reliable Quicktronic Powersense series: Engineered for consistent, energy-saving lighting performance with minimal maintenance and outstanding longevity.

Compatibility & Replacement

Fixture type: This ballast is designed for T5HO fluorescent fixtures, as well as fixtures using Dulux T5 (FT55), Circline (FPC55), or certain T8 (L58W-T8) lamps. Common in 2-lamp or 1-lamp configurations.

Dimming compatibility: Works with low-voltage (0-10V) and power-line dimmers that support 120V–277V inputs. Verify your dimming system compatibility before ordering.

Before ordering, confirm:

• Lamp type: Ensure your fixture uses T5HO (54W max), Dulux T5, Circline, or L58W-T8 lamps.
• Number of lamps: This ballast supports 1 or 2 lamps of the compatible types.
• Input voltage: Verify your supply voltage is 120V or 277V (50/60 Hz).
• Dimming requirement: If dimming is needed, confirm your dimmer is compatible with this ballast (0-10V or power-line dimming).
• Physical dimensions: Verify your fixture has adequate space for a ballast of 16.7" L x 1.68" W x 1.0" H.
• Ballast factor: Normal ballast factor is suitable for standard illumination; for energy savings, consider low ballast factor alternatives.

Safety & Handling Notes

• Installation: Disconnect power before installing or servicing. Use only with properly rated lamps and fixtures.
• Enclosure: Ballast must be installed in an approved fixture housing with adequate ventilation. Do not expose to moisture or condensation.
• Wiring: Follow the wiring diagram printed on the ballast label. Use appropriate wire gauges and connectors.
• Lamp start: Programmed start ensures maximum lamp life; avoid frequent on/off cycling.
• Fault detection: If lamps fail to start or flicker, check for proper lamp seating, wiring, and supply voltage. The ballast will automatically shut down if a fault is detected and restart once corrected.
• Dimming: Use only compatible dimmers rated for T5HO electronic ballasts. Incompatible dimmers may cause flicker or damage.
• Disposal: Dispose of ballast in accordance with local regulations. Electronic ballasts contain no PCB but may contain other recyclable materials.
• Follow fixture manufacturer's instructions and local electrical codes for installation.
