Reduce costs in existing lighting systems with OSRAM

(17/09/2009)

For existing internal lighting systems fitted with conventional control gears, there are now two more energy-efficient alternatives. OSRAM’s new LUMILUX® T8 Energy Saver (ES) fluorescent tubes and DULUX® D Energy Saver (ES) compact fluorescent lamps enable energy costs to be reduced by up to 10% compared with the corresponding conventional lamps.

LUMILUX® T8 ES tubes and DULUX® D ES lamps are especially well suited to existing systems where a complete system change including electronic control gear is not feasible. For lighting systems that have not been fully amortised yet, these new OSRAM lamps are also an ideal solution.

The DULUX® D ES lamp is designed for straight replacement of compact fluorescent lamps in light fixtures with conventional control gears (CCG) in interior settings (especially downlights). This lamp saves energy and money by reducing the lamp power by up to 10%.

By installing the 23W version, you can achieve a 10kg reduction in CO2 emissions over the lifetime of the lamp. Its superior energy efficiency also means OSRAM DULUX® D ES 16W and 23W replace the DULUX® D ES 18W and 26W respectively leading to reduced energy consumption and therefore energy bills.

The LUMILUX® T8 ES 32 W and 51 W tubes replace the Basic 36 W and 58 W respectively. The tubes work with CCG and LCG applications. Compared with Basic lamps the LUMILUX® T8 ES achieves an energy saving of up to 10% with an increased life of 15,000 hours. This energy saving corresponds to reduced CO2 emissions of 70kg over its life.

The LUMILUX® T8 ES is ideally suited to applications in warm ambient indoor temperatures of 300C+.

It is possible to save energy with both the OSRAM DULUX® D ES as well as the LUMILUX® T8 ES without major investment. This is ideal for many commercial and public applications where a complete change to the lighting system is not currently viable. Payback time for both lamps is less than a year.

OSRAM also provides a wide range of products for a complete system change. Using electronic control gear in conjunction with innovative T5 fluorescent tubes, motion sensors and daylight-dependent light control provides savings of up to 80% on energy and lowers CO2 emissions at the same time.
