TCP, Inc. Broadens Its Linear Line of Fixtures and Lamps
New products feature improved ways to lower energy costs, reduce maintenance
Aurora, OH (September 14, 2006) - TCP, Inc. introduces its expanded line of linear fluorescent lighting products, offering even more energy efficient fixtures and lamps as an alternative to traditional HID and incandescent systems in high bay and open ceiling applications, specifically gymnasiums, warehouses, manufacturing and industrial plants, distribution centers and big box retailers.
TCP's high bay lighting system gives facility owners and managers an easier solution for switching, dimming, and emergency lighting, while offering a safe, flexible alternative to HID luminaries. When used in place of HID systems, high bay luminaries can lower lighting energy costs by 50 percent or more, provide better lumen maintenance (94% at 40% rated life or design lumens), better light uniformity and longer lamp life (24,000 hours).
With the "stay light" feature, if one lamp goes out, the remaining lamps stay lit, providing uninterrupted light performance while helping to reduce costs associated with routine maintenance. The high bay lighting system is designed for suspended, pendant or surface mounting. A variety of accessories are available, including power cords, occupancy sensors, lenses, hanging kits, wire guards and emergency ballasts.
TCP also introduces a new "high lumen" T8 lamp for its high bay lighting system. At 97 lumens per watt (LPW), it provides ten percent more light than standard T8 lamps. TCP's "high lumen" T8 is available in 5000K and lasts up to 30,000 hours at 12 hours per start.
TCP is further expanding their linear fluorescent offering with the addition of 54W T5HO lamps. With 5000 initial lumens and superior lumen maintenance, these lamps are ideal for higher ceiling applications. In addition, their slim profile and shorter length allow for many diverse new construction applications. TCP's T5HO lamps are available in 35K, 41K, and 50K offering an excellent range of color temperatures all with a CRI of 85.
As an added feature on select T8 lamps, TCP offers ArmRlux(TM), a shatter-resistant coating that contains glass shattering caused by impact, unusual stress, fragments and thermal shock. The ArmRlux coating only reduces lumen output by one percent. It meets FDA and OSHA requirements, making it ideal for use in restaurants, kitchens, manufacturing facilities, hospitals, schools, and gymnasiums.
TCP, Inc., headquartered in Aurora, Ohio, drives lighting innovation for commercial, industrial and residential applications. As the leader in energy efficient lighting, TCP manufactures the most compact fluorescent lamps in the industry, offers one of the largest number of ENERGY STAR approved products and distributes them throughout North America and abroad. The company's extensive product line includes compact fluorescent lamps, cold cathode, linear and high bay systems, exit and emergency lighting, HID, energy efficient fixtures, and LED lighting products/solutions.
