LED Linear Light Retrofit The Right Answer for T12 Deadline

The July 15^th deadline for the end of T12 lamp manufacturing is less than 30 days away. The DOE regulations will eliminate future production of most T12 lamps after July 2012. This follows the previous July 2010 regulation that virtually eliminated T12 fluorescent magneticballasts from the lighting market. They have targeted the T12 ballasts and lamps to remove this less efficient lighting technology from the market.

Many companies have already replaced their T12 fluorescent lamps with more energy efficient LED Linear Replacement lamps and have reduced their lighting energy usage by more than 50%. In addition to reducing their energy costs, companies were concerned about the future supply and projected future price increases for existing stock of T12 lamps.

There has never been a better time to upgrade your lighting system to reduce energy and maintenance costs. Cardinal™ Linear Replacement Lamps are high quality replacements for standard fluorescent tubes (T8 and T12) and provide electrical savings of 35% to 50%.  Installation is easy, these linear lights use the same terminal connections as fluorescent tubes, and a universal voltage power supply inside the light which eliminates the need for  a fluorescent ballast.  A variety of color temperatures are available, making this product ideal for thousands of lighting applications.

Your energy efficient lighting upgrade project may qualify for low interest loans and significant rebates from utility and state energy savings resources. The Cardinal™ Linear Replacement Lamps recently were certified by the DesignLights Consortium. Culminating several years of development and testing, the Cardinal LED tube light has become the only LED tube light in the world to receive DLC certification under the strict specification published in August of 2011.
