OCTRON® XPTM SUPERSAVER®
fluorescent lamps are direct, energy saving, longer life replacements for standard T8 lamps on instant start systems providing up to 12% energy savings and up to 20% longer life. If you currently have T12 magnetic rapid start systems, you have an even greater opportunity to save energy and reduce your electric bill.
SYLVANIA has a complete family of T8 SUPERSAVER lamps including linear and U-shaped versions. In addition to the popular 4-foot types, OCTRON CURVALUME® SUPERSAVER lamps provide energy saving solutions for 2X2 applications and OCTRON eight-foot FO96, 55W lamps are direct replacements for FO96, 59W lamps.
Energy Saving Benefit
Replace FO32 with FO28/SS lamps on Instant Start (0.88BF) Ballast
Wattage savings = 87W – 77W = 10W Savings
Annual energy savings(1) = $4.00 per 3-lamp fixture
Relative lumens @ 8000 hours = 102%
Retrofit F34/CW Energy Saving Magnetic System to FO28/SS lamps and Instant Start (0.88BF) Ballast
Wattage savings = 148W – 100W = 48W Savings
Annual energy savings(1) = $19.20 per 4-lamp fixture
Relative Lumens @ 8000 hours = 112%
(1) Based on $0.10/kWhr, 4000 operating hours per year
Consider changing existing T8 instant systems to programmed rapid start ballasts with OCTRON SUPERSAVER lamps for energy savings up to 30% and up to 60% longer life. Programmed rapid start systems provide up to 50,000 switching cycles making them ideal for occupancy sensor and building control applications.
The lowest wattage T8 system in the industry consists of OCTRON SUPERSAVER 28W lamps on QUICKTRONIC® PSX programmed rapid start ballasts. This system provides up to 44% energy savings over T12 magnetic systems and 20% longer life.
