Switching T12 to T5 Lighting Fixture 

 How to Switch

Easy Installation

It can be directly applied to the traditional T8 fluorescent lamp fixtures, no electrician required.

1)     Turn off the power;

2)     Remove the T8 tube and starter;

3)     Install the T5 Adaptor light fitting;

Feature of T5 Adaptor

Why replace T8 with this special T5 converter?

1. Energy Saving by 35-50% comparatively;
2. Easy installation: no changes on the original fixture; saving labour cost as well;
3. Varied power factor: 0.55-0.99 compared to 0.55 (traditional magnetic ballast), thus reduce electricity waste and save energy;
4. Rapid start: no flickering
5. Colour redenring index: >=82, better colour performance;
6. High frequency electronic ballast: eye protection
7. Reduce heat discharge

Main Application

Be applicable to various locations such as offices, shopping malls, supermarkets, garages, schools and workshops, ect.

TUBES

Light Source: T5 fluorescent lamp with varied color temperature: 4100K (cool white), 2700K (warm white), 6500K (Daylight), ect.

T5 fluorescents provide superior efficiencies of:
1. Less power consumption.
2. Less Greenhouse gas emissions.
3. Less maintenance.
4. Improved illumination.
5. Less over-all cost.
6. Avoid increasing the electricity bill
7. Environment friendly: T5 uses 3 mg mercury, T8 uses 9 – 12 mg mercury

Description of T5 Adaptor

1) Slim Design: integrated built-in electronic ballast, modern design;

2) Easy Installation: can be directly applied to the traditional T12/T10/T8/T6 fluorescent lamp fixtures, no electrician required;

3) Energy Efficient: adopt high efficacy T5 tri-phosphor fluorescent tubes, can save up to 45% electricity, while increase lumens output by 10%;

4) Pre-heat functions: enable the tube to start without flickering and extend the whole system's life;

5) Environmental Friendly: use solid-stated mercury, easy to recycle, 38% less usage of glass and phosphor powder compared to T8 lamps.

6) Higher Color Rendering Index: 10% improvement in reproducing the color of the subjects.

7) Eye Protecting: T5 Adaptor adopts the electronic ballast, of which the frequency is 30KHz to 50KHz, so there is no stroboscopic effect, which can alleviate the eye fatigue dramatically. In contrast, the traditional T8 or T9 lamp uses the magnetic ballast, of which the frequency is 60Hz, and there are obvious stroboscopic effects.

8) Rapid Payback: Low initial cost, rapid pay back since converting existing luminaries is a fraction of the electricity cost that is saved;
