Sustainability: Going green doesn’t have to cost more.You can save money
by refitting older T12 lighting systems with new, high-performance long-life
T8 lamps and electronic ballasts. Or replace high-wattage T8s with today’s
lower wattage, energy-efficient T8 lamps—without even changing the ballast.
You can further reduce costs by adding long-life lamps to your fixtures, a
move that extends the relamping cycle, reducing hassles and inventory levels.
