High-performance T8 (HPT8) systems are comprised of two components: an advanced high-lumen, long-life T8 lamp and low-ballast-factor electronic ballast. This combination results in energy savings without reducing light output. The benefits are many. HPT8 systems:

• Save 20 percent more energy than a standard T8 and up to 40 percent more than T12 systems.
• Produce the same total light output as standard T8s, but with better quality light that uses less energy.
• Generate more lumens per watt than T12 or standard T8 systems, which means more light is produced while less energy is used.
• Maintain their light output longer than T12 lamps.
• Enjoy extended life, typically rated to last at least 24,000 hours - 4,000 hours longer than standard T8 or T12 lamps. That’s about two years in a normal office setting!
• Provide better quality light than T12 lamps. HPT8 lamps must have a minimum color rendering index (CRI) of 82 to qualify as high-performance while T12 lamps have a typical CRI of only 60. (CRI is rated on a scale of 1 to 100.)
