Shat-R-Shield Offers New Energy-Saving T5HO Fluorescent Lamps

Salisbury, N.C. – September 15, 2009 – Shat-R-Shield, the leading and largest manufacturer of shatter-resistant lamps, proudly introduces their line of safety-coated, 49-Watt T5HO fluorescent lamps. As standard T5 high-output lamps gain popularity in retro-fitting projects, Shat-R-Shield now offers a reduced wattage, longer-life model for enhanced ecological and energy efficiency.

“Up to 50% energy savings can be achieved by using 49W T5HO lamps over typical metal halides in high-bay applications,” said Shat-R-Shield president, Karen Ponce. “Without sacrificing lighting performance, this exceptional series of T5 lamps offers our customers tangible energy savings while reducing impact on the environment.”

There is an instant reduction of 5-Watts when comparing the new 49W T5HO to standard 54W T5HO lamps. The estimated energy savings over the longer rated-life (up to 35,000 hrs.) is $17.50 per lamp @ $.10/kWh. By extending the relamping cycle, additional savings will also result from reducing maintenance and recycling costs. Shat-R-Shield 49-Watt T5HOʼs also feature the lowest mercury content in the industry at 1.4 mg. Benefits of enhanced lighting performance include high color rendering, exceptional lumen ratings, and a range of color temperatures.
