T5 Converter

In the market today there is still an enormous amount of T12 lighting. While a significant amount of lighting retrofits are taking place, these upgrades take a lot of time and money. Normally, ballasts, sockets and lamps all need to be upgraded and electrical work must be done to install the new ballast and reconfigure the socket location, if you

choose to keep the existing light fixture. There is a now a way to upgrade to newer T5 fluorescent lighting... it is brighter and consumes less energy than the older T12 or T8 technologies without changing anything in your fixture and by only retrofitting the lamp!


Upgrade to T5 and keep your existing light fixture!
