FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I really get more light while using less electricity?
A: New technology is far more efficient, generating more light per watt than old technology, which loses a significant amount of energy as heat.

Q: Should I choose a T5 or T8 system for my building?
A: There are several factors to consider. Talk to your Alumalight® representative.

Q: Is substituting an Alumalight® for a metal halide fixture a one-for-one replacement?
A: Generally it is, though we can do a photometric study of the building to optimize light placement. Occasionally, more or fewer fixtures may be required.

Q: What is the relative cost of upgrading to Alumalight®?
A: The cost should be about the same as any other lighting installation, though our fixture and lamps are superior and use less electricity.

Q: How do we finance this?
A: Talk to your Alumalight® representative.

Q: I know Alumalight® is better than old metal halides. But what about the newer metal halides on the market?
A: Some improvements have been made to metal halides, but they still degrade much faster and to a greater extent than T5s or T8s, and generate more heat. Metal halides are simply old technology.

Q: If I buy the Alumalight®, is it going to be adaptable to technology changes like the T2?
A: The Alumalight® multisocket bridge can also be adapted to use T2 lighting when the technology becomes viable.

Q: What other opportunities are there for us to become more energy efficient?
A: Motion and occupancy sensors will contribute substantially to savings by reducing burn time.

Q: How can I save money with Alumalight®?
A: There are three main elements to saving money by switching to Alumalight®. First, T5 and T8 lamps produce whiter, brighter light than High Intensity Discharge (HID) or old T12 Fluorescent technology, and T5 and T8 lamps use less energy. Adding occupancy and daylight sensors and timers help reduce burn time, making sure you only use energy when you need to. Third, this newer technology lasts longer and requires less frequent replacement, cutting maintenance costs.

Q: How do CFLs help me save?
A: Incandescent and halogen lamps lose a significant amount of energy as heat. CFLs provide more lumens per watt than incandescent or halogen lamps.

Q: I’ve heard that CFLs emit high amounts of mercury into the air. Are CFLs safe?
A: The fears surrounding mercury in CFLs are overblown. CFLs contain a tiny amount of mercury – about 2.3 – 3.5 mg, often in an amalgam pellet, but this is far less mercury than older home thermometers (500 mg) and many thermostats (3000 mg) contain. Incandescents in fact have higher mercury emissions, as they release 10 mg of mercury into the environment, compared to 5.9 mg per CFL.

Q: How does a retrofit kit work?
A: Without taking the fixture off its mount, in-house technicians simply replace T12 lamps and magnetic ballasts with a reflector, electronic ballast, and T5 or T8 lamps. This retrofit is quick and easy, and case cut energy use and costs up to 60%.
