T5 Lighting for high spaces - controls could be used to save energy

In factories and warehouses the high-bay and low-bay sodium and metal-halide lights can't be easily controlled by presence-detection/timers/daylight sensors because HID lights like SON are slow to start and cool down.
T5 industrial and commercial lighting gives immediate lighting which is ideal for lighting controls.

 T5 electronic-ballast lighting can save energy across your site.

T5 High-Bay/Low-Bay fitting replaces Sodium SON or metal halide industrial and commercial lighting, for example above warehouse aisles where motion-sensors can activate the T5 fluorescent lighting only when needed.
These are sometimes called 'flobay' or 'flo-bay' lights.

T5 lighting stays brighter longer than most HID discharge lighting so less initial brightness/power rating is needed and this saves even more energy.

The results are lower running-costs, reduced maintenance, and often better appearance or  lighting for staff.

Benefits and technology:
  • IC-ballast provides advanced pre-heat warm-start, so tube-life is good,
  • Much better colour-rendering than traditional T8/T12 tubes
  • IC Ballast gives excellent Power Factor of .99 and THD of  <10%
  • Low working temperature
  • Flicker-free lighting
These T5 fittings are suitable for areas with  presence-detection or timers because these would significantly reduce the life of a standard T8 light-fitting with magnetic-ballast and a starter.


When new T5 tubes are not as bright as the equivalent T8 tube, but they remain brighter longer so after time the decay in light-output of a T8 tube can reduce to the same level as a T5 tube. For maximim light-levels select a T5 light-fitting which has a bright reflector. Figures are approximate.
Not for continous use over 45degreesC as this can affect the life of electronic ballasts.
