T12 vs. T8 Ballasts
T12 Ballasts:
 Older technology.
 Majority of T12 lamp production was phased out
in July 2012.
 Primarily magnetic ballasts.
 Magnetic T12 ballast production was phased out
in July 2010.
 Heavy and large.
 Widely used in warehouse, retail, and office
applications.

T12 vs. T8 Ballasts
T8 Ballasts:
 Higher efficiency than T12 ballasts.
 Electronic design makes them lighter and more
compact.
 Quieter operation.
 Instant on with no warm-up time.
 Can lower energy costs.
 Wide variety of applications.

T12 vs. T8 Ballasts
Why Upgrade from T12’s to T8’s?

T12 Ballasts are Inefficient.
-

T12 Magnetic ballasts generate significant amounts of heat.
-

Magnetic ballasts lose energy in the form of heat, which adds to air conditioning costs.
Upgrades improve lighting quality.
-

Retrofitting to T8’s can save up to 40% off your current energy costs.
The energy savings often quickly pay for the cost of the upgrade.
Improves light output and color quality.
Eliminates flickering and buzz that T12’s can cause.
Makes your building look better/feel newer.
- Leads to increased productivity.
Legislation mandated the phase out of the majority of T12 lamp production effective July
2012.
–
Lamps will be less available and more costly.

Misconceptions about Upgrading

“Energy upgrades are not in the budget.”
–

“Plenty of incentive dollars are available. I’ll wait until next year.”
–
–

The answer is in the utility bill! This is operating budget money, not capital improvement money – you
can afford to do this!
Delaying energy-efficient upgrades will cost you another year of energy savings.
Incentive dollars are first-come, first-served. They may not be available when you make your decision,
but they are available now. (check with local utilities)
“I don’t know where to start...”
– Universal can help!
–
Universal is part of the Panasonic group of companies with global presence and experience. Let our
experience work for you!

Energy Efficiency Makes Sense
Did you know…
 National Lighting Bureau estimates there are as many as 500 million T12s still in place.
• Upgrading to T8 ballasts can lower energy consumption by up to 40%!
• Think of how much energy would be saved if everyone upgraded their lights to T8’s.
 As a result of DOE regulations, almost all T12 fluorescent lamps will be phased out in
July of 2012.
– Upgrade to T8’s now and get ahead of the curve.
“Is my building a candidate for lighting upgrades?”
 Look up! If you see incandescent lights (standard, flood, or halogen) or T12’s, your
building is due for a lighting retrofit.

T12 to T8 Retrofit
Retrofit Energy Saving Equations:
Energy Savings = Existing Wattage – New Wattage
kW Savings = Total Energy Savings ÷ 1,000
kWH Savings = (kW Savings) x (Annual Operating Hours)
Annual Utility Savings:
Energy Savings (Watts)
x Annual Operating Hours
x Utility rate ($/kWH)
 1000 (for conversion of units)
= Annual Utility Savings ( $’s) per Fixture

Upgrade Incentives
Because of the current legislation impacting T12 lamps and ballasts, many State and Local
incentives are available to help you with the cost of retrofitting.
Universal’s website features an “Energy Incentive Programs” Link:
http://www.unvlt.com/energy_programs.html
A few of the examples of new Incentives for T8
Upgrades ...
 California: Burbank Water & Power – up to $2,000 grant towards
recommended retrofits.
 Massachusetts: MassSAVE Commercial Retrofit Program –
Rebates of $10-35 per reduced-wattage fixture. MassSAVE
Commercial Retrofit Program – Rebates for Daylighting and
Occupancy Sensors up to $30-$85 per control.

Energy Management
Install DEMANDflex ballasts with DCL Controls for maximum system energy
savings.

DEMANDflex™ ballasts can be “tuned” so that their operating power level is anywhere
in the range of 50% to 100% of its full rating.
– The tuning process uses temporary controls connected between the circuit
breaker and ballasts on a lighting circuit.
– This tuning process can be done during installation or any time afterwards.
– The tuning process can be repeated if power and light level adjustments are
necessary.
– Tuning down the lighting power 10% to 15% saves a significant amount of
energy and may not even be noticed by the occupants.

Install the same as standard program rapid start ballasts. No control wires necessary.
Standard mounting footprint. Same wiring.

High efficiency programmed rapid start operation exceeds CEE and NEMA Premium
T8 requirements.

Compatible with occupancy sensors.

Power level tuning programs the ballast factor for reduced power use. Programmed
at circuit level.

Universal input.
