T5 Retrofit Kit Series by LUXADD at Globalcon, Atlantic City, New Jersey

(Miami, February 29, 2012) Most of the standard fluorescent lights in millions of buildings will need to be replaced starting in July 2012. It is estimated that the replacement of 500 million T12 tubes would produce an annual saving of $10 Billion in electricity costs nationwide.

“T12 phase-out” by the Department of Energy (DOE) is rapidly approaching, starting July 2012

The Energy Policy Act of 2005 (EPAct 205) expanded the 2000 DOE Ballast Rule to include magnetic ballasts operating energy-saver type T12 fluorescent lamps. The new efficiency standards started 2009 and the T12 ballast phase-out was complete on October 1, 2010. The 2009 DOE Lamp rulemaking announced among others new efficiency standards for General Service Fluorescent Lamps (GSFLs) linear. Lamps that do not meet minimum lumen per watt (LPW) requirements as of July 14, 2012 can no longer be produced i.e. 4-foot, T12, Medium Bi-pin ≥ 25W, which is the most common standard tube used in the US.
