MORE THAN 50%
SAVING ON YOUR
LIGHT BILL
Migrate from T8 to
T5 without
Changing The
Luminary
A unique opportunity to contribute to CO2
emissions reduction!
Each Kw/h saved means 300gr (10.5 oz) of CO2 less released to the
atmosphere!
SOME BASIC CONCEPTS
Electro-Magnetic Ballast.
Electronic Ballast.
T12 38mm Ø fluorescent tube.
T8 26mm Ø fluorescent tube.
T5 16mm Ø fluorescent tube.
•
Uses between 7 and 16 Watts.
Uses approximately 1.2 Watts.
First installations in the 1930s.
Became more common in the 1980s.
As of early 1990s.
But…
It is shorter and needs a new luminary fitting ($ $ $!).
It only works with an electronic ballast.
In Europe more than 90% of the more than 3 year old buildings use the
T8/T12 illumination systems with electromagnetic ballasts.
Even some new constructions are still done this way!
What is Eco-Tubo®?
IT IS AN ADAPTOR WHICH ALLOWS THE
USE OF THE NEW TECHNOLOGY T5
TUBES TO BE USED IN EXISTING
FITTINGS (T8/T12).
THE T5 TUBE IS SHORTER THAN THE
T8/T12 TUBES AND THEREFORE NEEDS
AN ADAPTOR.
IT INCLUDES THE ELECTRONICS
NECESSARY FOR THE NEW GENERATION
T5.
THE COMBINATION OF ADAPTOR + TUBE
FULFILS THE SAME FUNCTION IN
FLUORESCENT TUBES AS THE “LOW
CONSUMPTION LIGHT BULBS” IN MOST
HOUSE HOLDS.
What does Eco-Tubo® do?
IT REDUCES THE ELECTRIC CONSUMPTION (IN
ILLUMINATION) BY HALF.
IT REDUCES YOUR CO2 EMISSIONS BY HALF.
IT GIVES A BETTER QUALITY OF LIGHT WITH WARM START
IGNITION, WITHOUT FLICKERING AND WITHOUT NOISE OR
STROBOSCOPIC EFFECT.
An Economical and Ecological Solution
Protection of the environment:
Cost advantages:
The T5 tubes contain 78% less
 Minimal installation costs.
 No alterations needed.
 Work does not need to be
glass and phosphorous than the
T8 tubes.
T5 tubes contain only 3mg
mercury, as opposed to 15mg for
the T12.
No harmful rays emission, since
electromagnetic discharge has
been eliminated.
Lower consumption and higher
efficiency reduce the emission of
CO2, SO2 and NO2.
interrupted during installation.
 Lower maintenance costs due
to longer life-span of the T5
tubes.
 Starter caps costs are
eliminated.
 More work productivity under
better light.
 More efficient use of energy.

How much do I save, and what is the ROI?
Try out our Savings and ROI calculator, available in “Downloads”. It’s easy!
Eco-Tubo® normally pays off by itself, through your savings, in less
than 12 months, so it does not affect your overall yearly budget. LEASE
PURCHASE arrangements also available.
How Reliable is Eco-Tubo®?
The adaptor has a standard 2 year
warranty period, optionally expandable
to 5 years, enquire about conditions.
Eco-Tubo® has been sold in the
international market since 2006, with
over 2 million units installed.
Eco-Tubo®’s continuous efforts in
Research, Development and Innovation
(R+D+i), concentrated on ONE SINGLE
PRODUCT (EBM), make our product the
most reliable available today.
Stringent EU T.U.V. Rheinland Nº CC
50131734, CE, EMC and SABS
certifications are all available upon
request and currently valid.
Each EBM unit is burn-tested for 2
hours before packaging, QA is not done
through sampling.
Installation Instructions
1. Switch off power for the work zone
4. Disable the PFC condenser if
present in the luminary
2. Remove the old tube
5. Insert Eco-Tubo®
3. Remove the starter cap
6. Turn it into position
7. Re-establish power
The whole operation will take you less than 3 minutes!
When you install Eco-Tubo®, you instantly modernize your
lighting system from the obsolete T8/T12 to the new
generation T5 system with electronic ballast.
The most economical way to upgrade your lighting
 No fittings replacement
 Your maintenance personnel can perform the replacement
 Over 50% savings considering energy efficiency and LUX output
 2 year warranty on the adaptor (5 Year optional)
 Longer tube life (30.000 hours)
 Eco-Tubo® is supplied with the GE LongLast™ T5 tube included
