Benefits of HIF (high intensity fluorescent T8 & T5) over HID lighting

Benefits of HIF (high intensity fluorescent T8 & T5) over HID lighting (metal halide and high pressure sodium). Replace your (HID) fixtures with high-intensity T8 or T5 fluorescent fixtures and receive more light, a better quality of light, at half the electrical cost.

• Substantial 50-70% cost savings in electricity
• EPAct05 60 cent/sq. ft. energy tax deduction
• Ability to add energy saving occupancy sensors
• With HIF lighting, if one lamp goes out you still have light, until it is convenient to change the failed lamp
• HIF fluorescent lamps last longer than HID lamps
• Better color rendition (i.e. the ability to judge an object’s color)
• HIF fluorescent fixtures provide 40-80% more light output than depreciated HID lamps.
• Better lit facilities help to increase worker morale & improve productivity
• T5 & T8 lamps maintain 94% of their initial lumens over their rated life verses HID lamps which can lose up to 55% of their light output prior to burning out
• T5 & T8 lamps have a lower mercury content
• The overall lower draw of current opens up more capacity on your electric panel
