adapT5 Energy Saver part 1

Perform an easy and inexpensive conversion of your existing T12/T8 fluorescent strip lighting to accommodate the newly developed and optimized T5 generation of light tubes.

The adapT5 Energy Saver for 110/120 Volt and 220/230 Volt conversions:

Conversions using the adapT5 adapter are suitable for T12 and T8 fluorescent light tubes operating with magnetic or conventional ballasts (CCG). Voltage ranges are 110-120 & 220-230.

Common & standard 4 foot conversions would replace 40 Watt T12 tubes with 28 Watt T5s and for 5 foot conversions, 65 Watt T12 tubes with 35 Watt T5s. Conversions can be made for 2ft to 8ft sizes.

@kevxsi16v this doesn't make sense at all... maybe u should go back to school. ;)

But I love T12s =O Don't get rid of them!

[scivids1999]

How much will all this cost me in maintenance

[riottaba]

T12s rock!

@Y0uTube235 LOL gotta admit that'd be fun ... done outside ofcourse :) Magnetic Instant would probably fry it for sure since that can be 700+ volts .. In reality Rapid-Start would probably just do nothing LOL

@Y0uTube235 Your father hates what sorry? T12 or these crap T5 adapters? Yeah T12s work on any ballast, from Quickstart to Electronic ;)

The price please with lamp?

@wwwdeltastormde: The F18T8 system consume about 28W (10W losses for the ballast choke)

So to save 1/2 of power, you would have to operate the lamp at maximum 9W (F18T8 choke losses would lower at lower current, so i guess ~5W; 1W count for losses in the F14T5HE electronic), but this would mean about half of the rated light output...

@wwwdeltastormde What doesn't make sense??? I am a electrical/Lighting maintenance engineer by trade. I look after 33 Schools (5 LARGE comps) 31 fire stations and a shit load of shops. I have to go back and remove pieces of crap like this when they pack up after a few months as i did in a large store only a few weeks ago! Out the the T5 Sleeves and back to switch start with Philips 840 lamps. Over all brighter shop more reliable lighting. Just uses a bit more electric.

@medabrundibar that's wrong! Please compare 14 Watt T5HE (f.e. Osram 1.350 Lumen) with a standard 18 Watt T8 (1.350 Lumen). Now please tell me what's the difference here? :)

So what happens if you don't take out the starter??

This is shown in a fixture with a Preheat (SwitchStart) ballast....hmmm wonder what'd happen if you put this unit in a light with a Rapid-Start or SRS ballast??....probably something along the line of BBZZZZTT POP! ??

Or maybe an Electronic Instant-Start Ballast??
