Save Energy with Sylvania Bulbs and Ballasts

Osram Sylvania Pentron High Output Supersaver T5HO Fluorescent Light Bulbs   Osram Sylvania’s PENTRON High Output SUPERSAVER T5 High Output fluorescent bulb offering has been expanded to include  4 foot 47 watt fluorescent light bulbs. These bulbs, available from Frontier Lighting, complement 50 watt PENTRON High Output SUPERSAVER fluorescent linear light bulbs, presenting an opportunity for increased energy savings. Both of these fluorescent lamp types operate on standard T5 HO programmed rapid start systems, requiring no ballast change to save energy over existing T5 High Output fluorescent lighting  systems. Save Energy with Sylvania Light Bulbs and Ballasts When compared with existing 54 watt  T5 High Output fluorescent bulbs, the 47 watt fluorescents offers energy savings of 13% while maintaining 92% light output and the 50 watt lamp offers 7% energy savings with no loss in lumen output. At $0.10/kWh and 4,000 hours of operation per year, the 7 to 13% savings translates to savings of $6.40 to $11.20 per light fixture per year (based on a 4-lamp light fixture). With lumen maintenance of 93% Sylvania’s PENTRON High Output SUPERSAVER fluorescent lamps assure that light levels are maintained while energy is saved over a very long life of 40,000 hours (12 hours/start). Maximum Performance when used with Sylvania Electronic Ballasts These lamps use lead-free glass, are RoHS compliant, pass the Federal TCLP test classifying them as non-hazardous waste in most states and are made in the USA. For maximum system efficacy and performance, consider pairing PENTRON HO SUPERSAVER lamps with QUICKTRONIC® QHE high efficiency electronic ballasts. Sylvania’s Largest Independent (more…)

Is the Compact Fluorescent Light Bulb Dead?

    Is the Compact Fluorescent Light Bulb Dead?   With the rapid evolution of the LED light bulb, many are predicting the end of the spiral shaped compact fluorescent light bulb (commonly referred to as CFL’s) that has been the champion of the recent push to reduce energy consumption by the nation’s businesses and households. But the cfl lamp manufacturers still haven’t given up the ghost on the twisted fluorescent screw in bulbs. The newer generations of cfl lights are now available with increased life spans of up to 20,000 hours average rated life, for a fraction of the cost of what an LED bulb currently costs. While the LED lites certainly have found a solid slice of the lighting pie, the other lighting products groups (metal halide bulbs, halogen lights, fluorescent linear tubes, and compact fluorescent bulbs) are continuing to develop newer technologies and supply light more efficiently.
