The Original T8 Lamp
In 1981 SYLVANIA OCTRON® introduced T8 fluorescent technology in the US. Since then, it has become the benchmark for T8 lamp performance.

Excellent Energy Efficiency
OCTRON can reduce energy consumption by up to 30 percent compared to standard F40T12 technology.

Four Levels of Performance
Both the 700 series and the high-CRI 800 series are available in standard or “extended performance” XP™ versions—we offer four T8 lamp families in all.

Superior Color Rendering
CRI ratings of up to 85 make colors appear richer and more natural.|

Full Range of Color Options
Six color temperature options—from 2700°K to 6500°K—allow for subtle gradations from “warm” to “cool.”

An ECOLOGIC® Choice
Reduced mercury ECOLOGIC® OCTRON lamps meet Federal TCLP standards for non-hazardous waste.

The System Solution
OCTRON and QUICKTRONIC® lamp/ballast combinations are specially designed to operate together for optimum performance.

Comprehensive System Warranty
System Solution lamp/ballast combinations are protected by the industry’s first and most extensive system warranty.

Advanced Technology for Superior Performance
There are two reasons that SYLVANIA OCTRON® lamps have become the standard by which all T8 lamps are judged: quality and choice. Our sophisticated manufacturing processes ensure consistency so that you can be sure that an OCTRON lamp will meet or exceed its rated specifications. The selection of available lamps includes six different lengths/wattages and six color temperatures— including 2700K versions that match the warm look of conventional incandescent lamps. Applications requiring extended performance can choose the XP™ series with its impressive 24,000-hour rated life and superior color rendering. In all, the OCTRON family includes more than 50 different linear T8 lamps.

Two Leg Spacings for Greater Versatility
SYLVANIA OCTRON® CURVALUME® lamps bring the performance of OCTRON T8 lamps to smaller spaces, such as the popular 2-foot by 2-foot ceiling fixture. SYLVANIA OCTRON CURVALUMEU-shaped lamps are available in two configurations: a 6-inch leg spacing that offers a replacement for standard FB40T12 lamps and a compact 15/8-inch leg spacing that combines T8 performance with unmatched versatility. Both configurations are available in XP™ versions, featuring exceptional color rendering and a 20 percent longer service life, as well as in 800 series and 700 series versions which feature a lower initial cost while still offering excellent color quality.

OCTRON® Specialty T8 Fluorescent Lamps for Special Applications
As the most complete family of T8 lamps in the industry, the SYLVANIA OCTRON line also includes a number of special purpose lamps designed for unusual or highly demanding applications: the OCTRON 900 series for display and color-critical applications, OCTRON SAFELINE for applications requiring the security of shatter protection, and OCTRON Gold for clean room manufacturing environments requiring zero-UV .

OCTRON 900 Series 5000K lamps with exceptional 90 CRI color rendering
OCTRON SAFELINE lamps with a protective coating
OCTRON Gold lamps that filter wavelengths <525 nm for zero-UV emissions

TCLP-passing Lamps for Every Application
As T8 becomes more and more popular, there will be more lamps to dispose of. Our ECOLOGIC® line includes 40 SYLVANIA OCTRON®/ECO® TCLP-passing* lamps. These high performance lamps combine ease of disposal with the high efficiency and superior light quality of OCTRON® T8 technology. High performance OCTRON XP™/ECO® lamps feature exceptional color rendering and a 20 percent longer service life than standard OCTRON lamps. OCTRON 800/ECO or 700/ECO lamps feature a lower initial cost while still offering excellent color quality.

*Refers to the Federal Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure (TCLP) test for hazardous waste determination as it
currently exists. It is always the end user’s legal responsibility to ensure that lamps are disposed of in accordance with
various local, state and Federal regulations.

SYSTEM SOLUTION
QUICKTRONIC Ballasts Expand the Capabilities of OCTRON® Lamps OSRAM SYLVANIA developed the original System Solution: the first matched T8 lamp and ballast systems optimized for performance and longer life. Today, we continue to use our unparalleled resources in both lamp and ballast technology to develop state-of-the-art QUICKTRONIC® electronic ballast systems with performance features such as universal voltage technology and PROStart™ programmed starting circuitry. QUICKTRONIC PLUS ballasts run OCTRON® T8 lamps at higher lumen levels, allowing the use of fewer lamps per fixture. QUICKTRONIC LP ballasts operate lamps at lower power levels for increased energy savings. Other choices include the HELIOS™ dimming ballast and a slender SC “small case” ballast. QUICK 60+® The Smart Warranty One of the biggest benefits to using SYLVANIA System Solution lamp/ballast combinations is the QUICK 60+® system warranty. Once registered, QUICKTRONIC ballasts are guaranteed for up to five years, and SYLVANIA OCTRON lamps are warranted for up to three years. At the customer’s option, SYLVANIA LIGHTING SERVICES will back up this warranty with field service calls to resolve warranty claims. It’s OSRAM SYLVANIA’s version of “roadside assistance”—we call it FIXTURESIDE ASSISTANCE.™
