 Energy Saving T8's: Because Power Costs Never Go Down
The cost of energy seems never to go down. But there is another door to energy savings – use of energy efficient lighting. Through improved technology, lamp manufacturers have reduced the wattage and therefore the energy consumption of four-foot T8 fluorescent lamps (otherwise typically 32 watts) to 28 watts and, in one case, to just 25 watts per lamp, without significantly reducing light output. Lower wattage 4-foot T8s make an ideal upgrade retrofit in fixtures with electronic ballasts in offices, retail installations, and other applications where lighting stays on a long time and is a significant expense.
