National Phase-Out of T12 Fluorescent Lighting Tubes Begins July 14

Effective July 14, 2012, production of most T12 florescent lamps will be phased out, as mandated by the 2009 Department of Energy General Service Lamp legislation. Many of the standard fluorescent lights – an estimated 500 million T12 tubes – in millions of buildings will need to be replaced starting in July 2012. The Departmentof Energy (DOE) regulations will eliminate the most common T12 tubes. It is estimated that the replacement of 500 million T12 tubes will produce an annual saving of $10 Billion in electricity costs nationwide.

LUXADD Express T5 Retrofit Kit is listed by UL

LUXADD is the only U.S. manufacturer of the new Express T5 Retrofit Kit Series to meet new Federal law mandating replacement of standard T12 and elective T8 - resulting in instant savings up to 73% in lighting energy costs. The LUXADD Express T5 Retrofit Kit is listed to applicable UL Standards and requirements by UL (Underwriters Laboratories, www.ul.com).

Lighting is an energy hog

Lighting is the single largest user of electricity in the U.S. New, patented technology from LUXADD allows for easy retrofitting of older, less efficient fluorescent lighting systems to T5, the leader in energy efficiency and lighting quality. The T5 saves up to 73% on lighting energy and reduces a company’s carbon footprint up to 60% with just one simple “SNAP” – like changing a light bulb. It is “plug and play” technology anyone can do, it does not require maintenance personnel.

Where Lighting Is Most Costly

Rising energy costs directly impact all buildings in the U.S. Retail and service buildings in the U.S. use 149 billion kWh (or 508 trillion Btu) of site electricity (electricity consumed within the building) each year. This electricity is used for a variety of different purposes, the most being used for lighting (59%).
