T5 High Output (T5HO) lighting is one of the latest incarnations of linear fluorescent lamp technology. As linear fluorescent lighting has evolved, the diameter of the tubes has decreased, the life of the lamps has increased, the energy efficiency has increased, and the color rendering (CRI) has improved. Because of the benefits of T5HO lighting, T5HO Linear Fluorescent High Bay fixtures are being specified more and more in applications where previously H.I.D. technology such as Metal Halide or High Pressure Sodium was used. T5HO linear fluorescent high bay light fixtures deliver energy efficiency and consequently cost effective illumination for most indoor general purpose lighting applications where the ceiling height is 15’ or higher. Typical applications for high bay linear fluorescent fixtures are warehouse facilities, assembly areas, gyms, hangars, transportation garages, loading and staging areas, light industrial use, big box retail, schools and school gymnasiums, health clubs, civic centers and other applications/locations. Linear fluorescent high bays are a superior lighting technology for most high ceiling interior applications with the exceptions being dirty heavy industrial application and some cold locations.

T5HO Fluorescent High Bay Fixtures are specifically designed to replace H.I.D. lighting for most applications. Linear Fluorescent High Bays and specifically T5HO high bay lighting is an environmentally friendly lighting solution because it significantly reduces energy use as compared to Metal Halide technology, which was previously the most common lighting specified and installed in commercial/industrial applications. Standard 400-watt metal halide fixtures which are rated for 36,000 initial lumens lose as much as 45% of their lighting over the life of the lamp. This is known as Lumen depreciation. In other words at about the mid point of the life of the lamp, the fixture will put out 28,000 lumens. Near the average end of lamp life it will put out about 20,000 lumens.

T5HO Fluorescent High Bay fixture lamps only have about 6% Lumen depreciation over the life of the lamp. A six lamp T5HO is rated for 30,000 initial lumens and at the end of lamp life the fixture is still generating over 28,000 lumens. The maintained lumen output is virtually the same for most of the life of the product and as the end of life nears, it is significantly exceeds the 400 watt Metal Halide fixture. A six lamp 54-watt T5HO high bay uses only 342 watts as compared to the metal halide which consumes 454 watts. This is a startling 25% savings in energy usage. Additionally, T5HO linear fluorescent high bay fixtures produce brighter more even illumination, have instant on/instant re-strike, and have significantly higher CRI.

Below is a chart on the light output and cost reduction of a 400 watt Metal Halide lighting system v. a 4 lamp or 6 lamp T5HO Linear Fluorescent High Bay Lighting Fixture. The 6 lamp T5HO is a more precise match because of the seemingly closer lumens. The 4 lamp version is included because it is used as a replacement for 400 w metal halide high bays, since the end of life lumens are close, light distribution is better, and the light quality is far superior. In many instances the light output is more than sufficient. Payback on the 6 lamp T5HO High Bay is just over 3 years based on the average selling price of an Access Fixtures 6 lamp T5HO High Bay. Payback is under 2 years for a 4 lamp T5HO High Bay. Another way to look at this is each year your organization fails to switch from 400w MH to T5HO it is losing either $50 or $100 per fixture. It should be noted that T5HO fixtures can be used with motion detectors reducing on time reducing energy use and financial loss even more.

T5HO Linear Fluorescent High Bay fixtures may qualify for energy rebates from your local power company and/or tax credits or tax deductions form the federal and/or your state government.
