5. THE BOTTOM LINE
01
This is an actual recent proposal. This is a typical project
where the existing T12 lights were replaced with T5, the
metal halide shop lights were converted to T5, and the
conference room halogen spots were changed to
energy efficient and long lasting LED lights.
Not only did they dramatically reduce their cost, the
lighting quality is greatly improved. Both T5’s and LED
produce more lumens per watt and don’t flicker or turn
yellow or gray.
With an 8 month return on investment (ROI) this is sure
to make the CFO smile!
Our comprehensive proposal will tell you not just your cost, but savings
from equipment, reduction in HAVC cost, and your environmental
impact. For this project shown, the reduction in greenhouse gas
emissions was equal to 81 metric tons!
8. T12PhaseOut
According to the DOE and the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA), lighting in industrial and
commercial buildings accounts for close to 71 percent of
overall lighting electricity use in the U.S. and consumes
nearly 35 percent of the electricity used in the nation’s
commercial buildings – and still much of this lighting is
inefficient linear fluorescents.
Amongst all energy efficient measures available to a
commercial facility, lighting being one of the biggest
energy hogs offers the shortest payback and strongest
return on investment (followed closely by HVAC
measures).
High efficiency T5 or LED Retrofit Adapters from CPI
Energy are the easiest, most cost-effective commercial
lighting solution available to address the challenges
many businesses currently face thanks to the DOE T12
lighting phase out.
Benefits of CPI Energy T5 & LED Lighting Retrofit
Adapters:
•5 Year Warranty
•UL Listed
•ROI in 8 to 16 Months
•Quick and Easy to Install in any T12 or T8 Light Fixture
•Utility and Tax Incentives Available
•Eliminates the Need and Cost of Replacing Outdated
Light Fixtures and Ballasts
•Allows for Delamping, Increasing Savings While
Producing Better Light
12. T5SmartBallast
The T5 Adapter is a “T5 Self Contained Ballast”. Each of the
adapters have an extremely high efficient, electronic smart
ballast built into each one. Unlike the old magnetic ballasts,
you won’t be replacing it.
The adapter allows you to remove the existing wired
inefficient T12 or T8 ballast permanently. T5 lamps snap into
the highly efficient adapter, which can be installed into any
existing T12 or T8 fluorescent fixture. This retrofit then allows
you to realize savings up to 79% in your light cost and the
benefit of eliminating the existing ballast from the fixture
permanently.

14. LEDRetrofitKits
WHY TUBE FREE?
LEDs emit more light (lumens) per watt than standard incandescent
light bulbs while maintaining a longer rated life. But they radiate a lot
of heat and need a proper heat sink to dissipate this or they will burn
out prematurely. We have solved this problem with out LED strips
that utilize the entire fixture as a heat sink. Our proof is in our UL
listing of 68,000 hours vs the 20,000 hours of LED replacement
tubes (shown below).
Energy efficient lighting for lifelong savings is available
with CPI Energy high efficiency LED Retrofit Kits. Our
tube-free LED kits can reduce lighting costs by a
significant margin.
In contrast to traditional commercial lighting, our energy
efficient commercial LED kits radiate very little heat and
do not contain harmful substances such as mercury or
lead.
LED RETROFIT KITS AT A GLANCE
Our kits are extremely energy efficient as low as 22 watts
per fixture. Our long life expectancy (up to 80 years!) and
a 5 year unconditional warranty give you the assurance of
a quality product.
Longer Life + Less Heat = MORE SAVINGS
15. Economy
LEDs were first introduced to the market in 1962. They work by the
movement of electrons through a semiconductor material. With a
lifespan of approximately 25,000–35,000 hours, an LED bulb lasts 2
to 4 times longer than a fluorescent bulb.
LEDs are cool to the touch—which translates into less wasted
energy. It also means your air conditioner won’t have to run as high
in hot weather. LEDs are more efficient than any other lighting
source.
According to the US Department of Energy, adoption of LED
lighting over standard lighting options over the next 20 years will
prevent 40 new power plants from being constructed, generate
more than $265 billion in energy savings, and reduce lighting
electricity demand by 33 percent in 2027.
LEDs have other advantages over lights, including a smaller size
and greater durability and reliability. Unlike other bulbs, LEDs can
withstand extreme temperatures, and they do not contain toxic
mercury.
