The Value of Lighting Resource Center
Industrial facilities are continually facing increasingly complex challenges including volatile energy markets,
new environmental mandates, escalating maintenance costs and declining workforce performance. Philips is aware
of these issues and addresses them head-on with their Professional Lighting Solutions. See for yourself the
value a customized lighting solution can bring to your operation.
Energy-Saving Solutions
Saving energy is no longer just good citizenship –
it is a means to business growth. Industrial facilities
especially have much to gain, with potentially thousands
of square feet of inefficient lighting draining the
bottom line. The potential to convert your losses into
gains is now all the more dramatic with the recent development
of extremely efficient lighting technologies.
For example, Philips new Pulse-Start Metal Halide
lamps produce more lumens for brighter light and they
sustain their high output for up to 25% longer.
Our new Econ-o-watt® Metal Halide lamps simply
screw into your existing fixtures to reduce watt consumption
by 10% – yet they produce the same lumens and
rated lamp life as your standard 400-watt metal halide
lamps.
These and other lamp advancements are making energy
efficient lighting a first tactic among facility managers
and owners. The facts are clear: New energy efficient
lighting is an investment with rapid returns, yielding
ongoing savings that can easily reach tens of thousands
of dollars in a few years.

Environmental Solutions
New government mandates for the proper disposal of mercury
are adding to the operating costs of industrial facilities.
Philips has taken a stand on this issue by pioneering
low mercury content lamps that carry no cost-compliance
burdens.
Philips ALTO® lamps contain 70% less mercury than
the 2001 industry average. ALTO lamps are the only fluorescent
lamps to have passed California’s Total Threshold
Limit Concentration (TTLC); and they have done so for
the past seven years running. ALTO lamps have earned
a non-hazardous waste status. They are not subject to
current and emerging restrictions, and costs related
to the sorting, handling, transportation, and disposal
of hazardous waste.

Maintenance Solutions
Industrial facilities are especially challenged to minimize
workflow disruptions caused by burned out lamps. To
preempt this problem, facility managers can follow two
strategies that reduce maintenance costs: use long life
lamps and practice group relamping. These strategies
are even more effective when using Philips new higher
performance lamps, with significantly longer service
lives.
For example, Philips new ALTO ® Universal T8 fluorescent
lamp delivers 33% longer life than the industry standard
T8. This translates to 10 months or more additional
lamp life from our standard lamp. If you want to replace
lamps even less often, you can double your lamp life
and extend lamp changeouts by up to 4 years, by installing
our new ALTO T8 Advantage fluorescent lamps.
For your high-bay areas, our new instant restrike
high pressure sodium lamps extend lamp life by 166%
over standard HPS lamps. And in unheated warehouses
and parking garages where lower temperatures are a factor,
our new ALTO T8 HO line of fluorescent lamps offers
higher efficiency, longer life, and higher light output
than traditional T12 HO lamps.

Performance Solutions
Lamp-end blackening, insufficient and uneven light output,
poor color stability, and the jaundiced glow of sodium
lamps are the characteristics of older lamp technology…limitations
that can add up to eye fatigue, hampered performance,
weakened quality control, employee dissatisfaction,
lapses in safety, and lower productivity. Philips is
helping you overcome these and other critical “quality
of light” limitations, by offering a choice of
superior industrial lamp options.
As you survey your opportunities to improve quality
of light and reduce costs, perhaps the most dramatic
change you can make is to replace any HPS yellow light
with bright, white light. This is easily done with our
new MasterColor® HPS-Retro White™ ceramic
metal halide lamps, which simply screw into your current
high pressure sodium lamp fixtures.
