Retrofit kit to convert 8-ft fluorescent fixtures to LEDs
Jan. 31, 2014
EPCO and Aleddra are jointly offering a solution to convert an eight-foot strip light fixture to two four-foot linear LED lamps using the EPCO UL-listed T8 Retrofit Conversion Kit, which includes Aleddra's EasiRetrofit tube.
Engineering Products Co. (EPCO) and Aleddra LED Lighting will jointly offer a complete retrofit lighting solution that converts older, four- or eight-foot T12 strip light fixtures into an energy-efficient fixtures using linear LED lamps. The T12 fluorescent lamp that had been used in commercial and industrial lighting systems for many years was phased out in 2012 because of high-energy consumption by the Department of Energy's 2007 Energy Independence and Security Act. EPCO and Aleddra say replacement with a linear LED lamp is a logical choice, given its 50,000-plus-hour rating and significant energy savings, but no eight-foot LED lamps currently meet UL's 17.6-ounce weight limit. They are jointly offering a solution to convert an eight-foot strip light fixture to two four-foot linear LED lamps using the EPCO UL-listed T8 Retrofit Conversion Kit, which includes Aleddra's EasiRetrofit tube.
