Energy Efficiency Without

Costly Alterations

Migrate from T8 to T5 without

Changing The Luminary

MORE THAN 50% SAVING ON YOUR

LIGHT BILL

A unique opportunity to contribute to CO2

emissions reduction!

Each Kw/h saved means 300gr (10.5 oz) of CO2 less released to the atmosphere!

Electro-Magnetic Ballast. Uses between 7 and 16 Watts.

Electronic Ballast. Uses approximately 1.2 Watts.

T12 38mm Ø fluorescent tube. First installations in the 1930s.

T8 26mm Ø fluorescent tube. Became more common in the 1980s.

T5 16mm Ø fluorescent tube. As of early 1990s.• But…

It is shorter and needs a new luminary fitting ($ $ $!). It only works with an electronic ballast.

SOME BASIC CONCEPTS

In Europe more than 90% of the more than 3 year old buildings use the T8/T12 illumination systems with electromagnetic ballasts.

Even some new constructions are still done this way!

What is Eco-Tubo®?

IT IS AN ADAPTOR WHICH ALLOWS THE USE OF THE NEW TECHNOLOGY T5

TUBES TO BE USED IN EXISTING FITTINGS (T8/T12).

THE T5 TUBE IS SHORTER THAN THE T8/T12 TUBES AND THEREFORE NEEDS

AN ADAPTOR.

IT INCLUDES THE ELECTRONICS NECESSARY FOR THE NEW

GENERATION T5.

THE COMBINATION OF ADAPTOR + TUBE FULFILS THE SAME FUNCTION IN

FLUORESCENT TUBES AS THE “LOW CONSUMPTION LIGHT BULBS” IN MOST

HOUSE HOLDS.

What does Eco-Tubo® do?

IT REDUCES THE ELECTRIC CONSUMPTION (IN ILLUMINATION) BY HALF.IT REDUCES YOUR CO2 EMISSIONS BY HALF.IT GIVES A BETTER QUALITY OF LIGHT WITH WARM START IGNITION, WITHOUT FLICKERING AND WITHOUT NOISE OR STROBOSCOPIC EFFECT.

An Economical and Ecological Solution

Protection of the environment:

The T5 tubes contain 78% less glass and phosphorous than the

T8 tubes.T5 tubes contain only 3mg

mercury, as opposed to 15mg for the T12.

No harmful rays emission, since electromagnetic discharge has

been eliminated.Lower consumption and higher

efficiency reduce the emission of CO2, SO2 and NO2.

Cost advantages:

Minimal installation costs. No alterations needed.

Work does not need to be interrupted during installation.

Lower maintenance costs due to longer life-span of the T5

tubes. Starter caps costs are

eliminated. More work productivity under

better light. More efficient use of energy.
