Switching from HID lamps to HO T5 fluorescent lamps:

It has become a common trend to switch over from HID lamps to HO T5 lamps that can increase energy efficiency in high bay lighting situation like warehouses etc. HO T5 and induction fluorescents...

    *      are capable of instant-on and instant re-strike.
    *      They can be applied on energy saving occupancy sensors.
    *      They can be regulated through dimming
    *      They have lower rate mercury content than HID lamps.

Recommendations for fluorescent high bay fixtures:

Facility owners, architects and managers who use high bay lighting applications should opt for the most energy efficient system where the lowest mercury content is suitable for making and reshaping projects. For improving colors, projects should be evaluated carefully. A buyer should consult a lighting professional before buying lighting system in this way the whole project can be assessed properly. You should tell your lighting professional that your company would like the lowest mercury alternatives.
