Product Overview

The Sylvania Quicktronic® Professional 49111 (QTP1x28T5/UNVPSN) Ballast is a commercial-grade, high-frequency electronic control gear module engineered to operate a single standard-output linear T5 fluorescent lamp. Designed with a universal voltage framework auto-sensing 120–277V grids, this high-performance module utilizes advanced PROStart® programmed rapid start technology to safely condition cathode filaments prior to gas discharge ionization. Outfitted with integrated QUICKSENSE® end-of-lamp-life circuitry, a normal ballast factor profile, and a low-profile elongated housing, it provides a whisper-quiet Class A sound rating for architectural office troffers, commercial retail displays, and institutional classroom pendants.

ADL Supply Expert Application & Replacement Guide
The Sylvania QTP1x28T5/UNVPSN electronic ballast is an established industry property maintenance standard specified widely across architectural offices, school corridors, and commercial interiors running dedicated 1-lamp linear configurations. By coordinating ignition outputs cleanly over Sylvania PENTRON® series lamps, this module secures full rated lumen outputs while optimizing visual delivery without the annoying stroboscopic rolling shadows or line humming common in traditional systems.
Critical Un-Shunted Lampholder Mandate and Wire Insertion Controls: Maintenance crews and field technicians executing routine facility upkeep sweeps must inspect existing luminaire internal wiring parameters closely prior to checkout: this programmed rapid start ballast strictly mandates the use of un-shunted lampholders at the fixture sockets. Un-shunted sockets isolate the left and right pin contact tracks, allowing the ballast to pass an independent, low-voltage conditioning current to safely warm the tube filaments before firing the primary gas discharge arc.
Forcing a Programmed Start device onto old shunted sockets (common in legacy Instant Start layouts where pins are internally bridged) short-circuits the preheat leads, causing immediate ballast overheating, rapid component degradation, or complete circuit board non-performance. This module features quick push-in terminal connectors designed to grip 18AWG solid copper lines securely; no lead wires are included with the loose ballast casing block.

Verify Before Installing
1-Lamp Dedicated Load Only — Un-Shunted Sockets Mandatory — 0°F Cold Start Threshold
Please examine your existing burnt ballast model and confirm you require a 1-lamp module rather than a 2-lamp variant. This ballast utilizes an elongated low-profile linear stick frame measuring precisely 14.17"L x 1.18"W x 0.87"H. It includes a minimum cold starting threshold down to 0°F (-18°C), making it safe for indoor unheated zones or protected Type 1 Outdoor enclosures.
Mercury and Waste Compliance Notice: This product is a solid-state electronic control component and contains 0.0 mg of mercury. It is completely exempt from regional fluorescent shipping regulations and can be legally shipped to all 50 states. Standard commercial electronic waste (e-waste) handling guidelines apply at end-of-life cycles. |
