TubeSaver®

All Ecotronic® lighting products are specifically designed to provide innovative, energy efficient lighting solutions.

What Is TubeSaver ®?
TubeSaver ® is a retrofit conversion pack for both switch start and quick start luminaires. It enables you to install the latest T5 High Frequency System into older existing fittings that lack such energy saving technology. Thus generating substantial cost savings and dramatically lowering energy consumption.

How Does It Work?

TubeSaver ® simply plug into existing luminaires, transforming them electronically from conventional control gear to new generation high frequency luminaires. TubeSaver® contains a retrofit system so you can fit new generation T5 tubes.

New Generation Technology
High frequency lighting ballasts give additional circuit power savings. Combine this with the new generation T5 tube and TubeSaver® saves up to 60% electricity, whilst maintaining light levels.

The vast majority of luminaires throughout the world operate on conventional magnetic ballasts and certainly cannot accept the new generation T5 tube. TubeSaver ® has been designed to overcome this problem. It's electronic components are designed to convert existing magnetic luminaires to high frequency. TubeSaver® then acts as a cradle to accept the new generation T5 tube.

Benefits of Tubesaver®
Impressive energy savings - High frequency operation combined with new generation T5 tubes give proven savings of between 50 and 63%

Rapid payback - Low initial cost & rapid pay back since converting existing luminaires is a fraction of light fitting replacement.

Trouble free installation - Simply plug in, non disruptive installation, hassle free, avoids down time and the need for highly qualified electrical engineers.

Reduces maintenance by over 50% - High frequency ballasts combined with the new generation T5 tube offers 16,000 hours mean average service life, twice that of standard luminaires fitted with conventional tubes.

Simply Plug in & Save
Up to 40% more efficient than its competitors, TubeSaver® has been designed for optimum efficiency. New generation T5 tubes generate more light output than their old T8 equivalents. TubeSaver® has been carefully designed to improve on T8 light output, yet remains the most efficient unit in the marketplace today.

TubeSaver® is available in three sizes, designed to replace 2, 4 & 5ft T8 tubes.
