WHATS ASUPER T8?
Evolving Family of High Performance Fluorescent Lamps AND
Electronic Ballasts > L/W Than All Other Light Sources
Look the same on the outside as Standard T8s, but

Inside Super T8 Lamps:
Enhanced Rare Earth Phosphors > light output and maint.
Improved Gas Fill compositions >light output and lamp life
More robust cathodes >lamp life
Barrier Coatings Reflect more U.V. photons back into the

Where do Energy Saver T8s Fit In?
The Good, Bad, and Confusing
Two families of Energy Saver 4 F30T8 (30 watt)
and F28T8 (28 watt) lamps on the market!
Fit in same socket as F32T8
Shave ~ proportionately more watts than 32 watt T8
Lamps operate almost as efficient as Super T8 --
delivering 89-92 Mean L/W on Super T8 ballast
Offered in 70 and 80 CRI series options.
Rising Sun Enterprises, Inc.
Finicky: Min 60F Starting, no drafts, iffy on some low B.F.
ballasts, some require I.S. ballasts, others require brand/series
specific ballast, no dimming
Strategic issue: use the lamp or ballast factor to fine tune light
levels and energy savings (ave. lamp service life 5 yrs Vs. ballast
life 15+)?
Practical issue: how do you minimize snap back? (from 30 watt
and 28 watt back to 32 watt)
ES lamps confuse the marketplace, but may represent best energy
saving strategy in some applications. With ES additions, now
have 3 families of 4 T8s w/9 iterations between them.
But Energy Saver T8 Lamps.. 9
