LUXADD Introduces the Express T5 Retrofit Kit Series: Greener, More Efficient Fluorescent Lighting Saves up to 73% on Energy Costs
Lighting is the single largest user of electricity in schools, hospitals, office and other commercial (retail and service) buildings
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. The LUXADD'S Express T5 Retrofit Kit for T12 & T8 pays for itself with labor and energy savings within one year - and then continues to reduce lighting energy bills for building by up to 73% every year and a/c energy up to 15%. LUXADD offers the only linear fluorescent lighting conversion adapter specifically designed for the US and Canadian market. It is designed for all residential and commercial applications. LUXADD(TM) is "Made in the USA" in effort to create new "green" jobs, promote a sustainable supply chain and ensure quality control.
The Need for Energy Efficiency
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%).
The majority of this electricity is used for lighting and office equipment (24%) (such as computers, printers, faxes and photocopiers). Both lighting and office equipment produce heat, requiring more air conditioning - another electricity end use - to cool the buildings.
The following percentage of electricity used simply to light different types of buildings includes:
T12 phase out by the Department of Energy starting in July 2012
Most of the standard fluorescent lights in millions of buildings will need to be replaced starting in July 2012. The Department of Energy (DOE) regulations will eliminate the most common T12 tubes. It is estimated that the replacement of 500 million T12 tubes would produce an annual saving of $10 Billion in electricity costs nationwide. 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 replacement of T8 fluorescent light tubes to save up to 73% in lighting energy costs).
One-Year, Rapid ROI
LUXADD can instantly improve lighting energy efficiency and also save on air conditioning electricity costs used to cool the building due to heat produced by old-technology fluorescent lighting. The overall energy savings with LUXADD are up to 80%.
