The LED T5 looks similar to fluorescent lamps, but consumes less energy.
The Emium T5 lamp uses 25 watts of energy and produces 3300 lumens, or 132 lumens per watt. The 25-watt LED lamp allows for a cost effective retrofit of existing high bay fixtures that currently utilize the 54 watt T5 fluorescent lamp to deliver a 53 percent reduction in energy consumption. Retrofitting T5HO fixtures with the LED T5 requires swapping out old fluorescent tubes with new ones. No wiring is necessary.
The LED version of the lamp projects light in one direction, at a 150 degree beam angle, to deliver more foot candles per lumen to the targeted work areas.
The T5 is available in 4000K and 5000K color temperatures with a color rendering greater than 80. It is also Design Light Consortium (DLC) listed, which mean that it qualifies for several of the utility rebates that are available for such retrofit projects. The combination of savings available can typically provide a payback for such an investment in 8-16 months.
The lamp has a 50,000 hour rated life and comes with a 5 year warranty.
