Description of Leviton PE300 D0W Extender 0 10VDC Ballast

Works with low-voltage non-dimmable and dimmable electronic ballasts, such as Advance Mark VII 0-10V, OSRAM Sylvania Quicktronic Helios or equivalent ballast. Low-end trim available for setting the minimum brightness level. The Power Extender will emulate the characteristics of the dimmer that it is connected to in terms of dimming range and resolution.

Excellent Ballast for Industrial Lighting

Thanks to my knowledge gained in practice, i can confidently say this ballast is a perfect choice for any industrial lighting application. The installation was easy and wiring straightforward .The ballast performs exceptionally well and provides consistent lighting throughout the day. The only downside is that it's slightly bulky, but that's to be expected with any efficient ballast. Overall an excellent purchase that I highly recommend..

Pros
  • Easy installation, consistent lighting.
Cons
  • Slightly bulky.

Dimming works well with standard triac dimmers, not so well with UPB dimmers

Well unfortunately after bench testing the PE-300 (and PE-200) with UPB auto dimmers versus standard triac direct phase dimmers it is safe to say that UPB (SAI) dimmers are simply NOT compatible with PE 300 or PE 200 (each 0-10V driver interface and 3-wire fluorescent lamp ballast interface). and US1-40) when tested with both power expanders gave a pretty miserable range of 3 stupid preset light levels: low-mid-high. And with plenty of agonal shimmer along the way. I bought them (Oops, $$$) not

Pros
  • Works with non-dimmable and dimmable low voltage electronic ballasts such as Advance Mark VII 0-10V, OSRAM Sylvania Quicktronic Helios or equivalent ballast
Cons
  • Not bad but. ..
