T8 to T5 Converter

We have even delayed the first payment by one month so you will receive the savings in your electricity bill prior to making the first lease payment.

• No interruption to cash flow

In many cases the repayments will be either close to or even less than the savings so the financial rewards will be apparent from the first month.

• You receive financial benefits from the first month.

We have a lease plan available for lights. This means all payments are 100% tax deductible and no cappex requirement.

• No Cappex issues - three year lease to own with $1.00 buy out.

LEASING OPTION (Subject to application and approval)

To ensure our customers will receive every benefit available ESG will undertake to design an abatement program for our lights this will allow you to the additional ability to create a new income stream through the sale of carbon credits.

• Emissions Trading Scheme

T5 tubes run much cooler than T8s. Therefore less load on your air-conditioning which in turn reduces air conditioning running costs

• Significant reduction of heat output

A one star increase in the green rating of your building can automatically increase the book value of your asset by up to 20%. Retro fitting our IFRs to your building will assist in achieving a star rating at the lowest commercial cost.

• Increases the Green Star Rating of your building

ADDITIONAL BENIFETS

As the result of stringent QA practices and use of quality branded subcomponents in our IFR Adaptors, failure rates on installation are less than .001% and average life is in excess of 35,000 hours

• Install Failures/Average Life

This is a term applied to electronic components and equipment. 95% of faults will occur in the first 2 hours of operation of electronic equipment. Every IFR Adaptor is powered with its tube in place for a minimum of 2 hours prior to packing and shipping.

To meet Australian standards the insulation on the adaptors has to withstand a voltage of 4,200v without the insulation breaking down. This test is carried out on 100% of our Adaptors prior to packing and shipping.

• High Voltage Testing

Prior to packing and shipment, every IFR Adaptor is subject to a rigorous inspection process, this includes-;

QUALITY ASSURANCE

• Less hazardous material - Our bulbs use solid mercury not gaseous mercury. A standard T8 tube uses 12mg of mercury the IFR uses 3mg. This is better for both human health and the environment. Smaller tubes also mean less cost when disposing of tubes.

• Over Voltage Protection it has built-in over voltage protection on the ballast circuitry. This protects the ballast from damage, should the mains supply experience a power spike.

• End of Life Protection the device will automatically switch off if it detects a faulty T5 tube or if the connections to the tube have become compromised. This protects the internal circuitry and when the faulty tube is replaced the circuit will reset to normal operation.

• Pre-Heat Pre-heat ensures tube life expectations. Prior to ignition, our ballast heats the cathode to its optimum temperature for electron emission. After a defined period the lamp is ignited with the required ignition voltage. Only an optimized preheat start can guarantee that the number of switching cycles has only little effect on the lamp life.

Our standard Ballast allows for 10,000 switching cycles and our high performance ballast enables 80,000 switching cycles (Note High Performance ballast produced to order only minimum production qty 10,000 units)

As well as performance it is essential to ensure all aspects of safety. There are several major safety features with the IFR these include:

SAFTEY FEATURES

T8 tubes are brightest after 100 hours after this they start to break down resulting in less light. After approx 5000 hours the light produced can be as low as 50% of the original output. Our tubes continue to output light at 90% throughout the entire tube life.

• Less light degradation

The IFR does not use starters this means no more annoying flicker or huge influx of energy when starting. This will help reduce demand factors on customers electricity bill.

• No starters required

A standard T8 tube produces a Ra factor of 40. - This colour index is how the human eye sees light. The IFR bulb has a Ra factor of 85 over twice that of a standard T8 tube. This simply allows our eyes to see more light than before.

• A brighter, whiter light

1. 30,000 hour life Save two Maintenance/replacement costs over the life of the tube, or $40.00 per twin light fitting

The IFR comes with two tube options:

Most fluoro tubes have a recommended life span of 10,000 hours. Some do not even achieve this.

• 20% - 300% longer tube life means less maintenance

Through the installation of the IFR Carbon emissions will be reduced. This is over 150 tonnes of carbon saved per year for every 500 light fittings through the installation of the IFR system.

Fitting IFRs into an existing fitting will save you up to 70% of the price when compared to a new T5 light fitting.

The IFR can be fitting into nearly all existing fluorescent applications, Its as simple as changing a bulb as the light fits into the existing fitting.

The standard T8 fluoro light on average produces 2800-2900 lumens per tube but a twin produces 494 lux at 1.7m distance and 312 lux at 2.4m. A twin IFR28R T8-T5 Adaptor produces between 2650-2900 lumens per tube but produces 510 lux at 1.7 m and 322 at 2.4m.

The IFR uses 55 watts per hour (including tubes and ballast)

An average twin light fitting uses 86 watts per hour (including tubes and ballast)

On 500 light fittings this represents a savings up to $20,000 pa.
