T12 lighting phase-out is a great opportunity!

additional savings graphic

Owners and managers can receive tax benifits up to 60 cents per square foot! Taxpayers should seek advice based on their circumstances from an independent tax advisor.

Starting July 1, 2012 commonly used T12's will no longer be manufactured in or imported to the United States for commercial and industrial applications ...now is the time to begin the T12 repacement process bringing revenue your way and savings to your customers.

The simplest switch-out can save your customer 30 to 40 percent on energy costs ...that is the savings from changing T12 lamps and magnetic ballast to T8 lamps and electronic ballast.

What T12 Lamps are affected?

  • T12 4-foot with medium bi-pin bases (except those with efficacy of 89 lumens per watt or greater)
  • T12 U-bend lamps with medium bi-pin bases (except those with efficacy of 84 lumens per watt or greater)
  • T12 8-foot Slimline lamps with single pin bases
  • T12 8-foot 800MA HO lamps with RDC bases
