QUICKTRONIC – reduced costs, reliable operation and comfortable light for fluorescent and compact fluorescent lamps

Versatile QUICKTRONIC ECGs from OSRAM: pure quality and energy efficiency

With QUICKTRONIC OSRAM has paved the way for the future of fluorescent technology. Electronic control gear (ECG) offer the latest technology and reliability for lighting systems with high levels of lighting comfort, economy and operational stability. The QUICKTRONIC range has the right device for any application. QUICKTRONIC ECGs are highly compatible with the entire spectrum of fluorescent lamp types and wattages.

Because of the physics of gas discharge, fluorescent lamps cannot be operated directly on ac line voltage. The current would increase unchecked after ignition and the lamp would explode after only a very short time. Conventional control gear has traditionally been used to limit the current. The QUICKTRONIC ECG from OSRAM replaces this conventional control gear and brings with it many benefits.

Top benefits of QUICKTRONIC ECGs

 
Economy
  • Up to 50% lower power draw compared with operating lamps with conventional magnetic control gear (CCG)
  • More than 50% longer lamp life compared with operating with CCGs or low-loss gear (LLG) thanks to reduced stress on the lamp
  • Lower maintenance costs
  • Reduced energy costs for air-conditioning systems thanks to a reduction in the cooling load
  • Frequent switching with no loss of performance
Comfort
  • Flicker-free start
  • Pleasant flickerfree light with no stroboscopic effects
  • Virtually silent operation
  • No flashing from defective lamps
  • Automatic restart of replacement lamps
Reliability/safety
  • Simple operation
  • Safe shutdown of the power supply to defective lamps
  • Complies with international, European and German standards for safety, operation and EMC (electromagnetic compatibility)
Unique: OSRAM System+ Guarantee

If OSRAM ECGs and OSRAM lamps are used together, OSRAM offers a guarantee on the electronic control gear and illuminants (OSRAM System+ Guarantee). Registration is required.

QUICKTRONIC with dimming function

Dimmable QUICKTRONIC ECGs offer huge potential energy savings compared with conventional control gear (CCG) and are also extremely versatile.

QUICKTRONIC without dimming function

Non-dimmable QUICKTRONIC ECGs are ideal for energy-efficient lighting solutions in industrial environments, retailoutlets and public areas.
