Selling the Advantages of LED TubesRefit Solutions from GE
Why LED?LED vs. Fluorescent
• Current efficiency levels exceeding fluorescent
• Typically 50,000 hours of life without interim failures – impacts cost of ownership calculations
• Optical control/application efficiency
• Environmental: no lead, no mercury
• Durability: solid state device
• Instant on, dimmable, and any on/off cycle
• Virtually no IR
LEDs Offer Superior Performance with Controls
Because. . .• LEDs can be dimmed without loss of efficiency• LFL dimming ballasts reduce system efficiency
• Because. . .• LEDs can be turned on and off as much as
desired without loss in life or performance• LFLs lose life and depreciate faster with
frequent switching
LED Tubes
• Designed to fit in fixtures intended for linear fluorescent lamps, LED tubes are a smart, efficient and long-lasting solution to replace traditional lighting
• GE Lighting offers two solutions• UL Type A• UL Type C

Delivers lowest installation cost.No rewiring required for installation
Limited dimming capabilities
Reduced system efficacy
System compatibility dependent upon LFL ballast
Life dependent on LED tube and LFL ballast
Medium installation cost.Requires rewiring for installation
Limited dimming capabilities
Higher system efficacy than UL Type A
Good system compatibilitybetween LED tube and driver
Additional safety processes requireddue to high-voltage wires
Medium installation cost.Requires rewiring for installation
Controllable dimming system
Best system efficacy
Optimal system compatibility between GE LED tube andGE Lightech™ driver
Low-voltage connection to sockets minimizes shock hazard
More About UL Considerations
• If retrofitting an existing fixture that is UL approved with a UL-approved LED tube, the fixture will remain UL approved
• If retrofitting an existing fixture that is not UL approved with a UL-approved LED tube, the fixture with the LED tubes would need to be submitted to UL for approval, if UL certification is necessary
• GE’s Refit Solutions will keep intact the existing fixture’s UL certification because they are certified by UL

Easy Installation
Replacing LFL with LED
• The “new” standard F28T8 is 2675 lumens in the catalog
• When operated on an N ballast factor, you only get 2325 lumens
• When you multiply by 90% fixture efficiency, you get 2095 lumens
• Ambient temperature effects may reduce lumens by another 5% to 1990 lumens
• Also a .87 bf goes down (with some current fed ballasts) to .81 when operating an F28
• In actuality, you are getting only 1850 lumens for this lamp
• Therefore, you only need an 1850 lumen LED lamp to match a 2675 lumen T8 lamp
