T-8 ballast vs. occupancy sensor

T-8 ballast vs. occupancy sensor

(OP)
Has any one experience high failure rates of electronic ballasts when operating them on an occupancy sensor?  I've been losing ballasts quite frequently since their install about 6 months ago.  I am curious about the effects of the inrush current and cycling multiple turn-on's/off's?

RE: T-8 ballast vs. occupancy sensor

I would check the sensor circuitry, some are intended for incandescent loads only.
