Lighting Case Study

 Example of Energy Saving Using the T8-T5 Hyundai Retrofit Adapter

 

Example 1:

Case Study: 

In this case, an industrial facility utilizes 1, 000 x 4 foot T8 (1 inch diameter) 2 lamp 36Watt fluorescent light fittings to illuminate their manufacturing facility.

1, 000 tubes of T8 rating, with conventional electro-magnetic ballast.
The calculation is based on 12 operating hours per day, for 335 days per year.
Electricity cost per kWh is R0.93

Therefore:

4 ft 36W T8 Fluorescent Light Fittings

Current Usage =  1,000 x  108Watts per light fitting (36W x 2 Lamps + Ballast)/1,000 x 12 hours per day x 335 days per year

Annual Energy Usage = 434, 160 kWh

Annual Cost = 434, 160 kWh x R0.93

= R403, 768

Versus

Hyundai 4 ft 28W T5 Retrofit 

Current Usage: 1, 000 x 56Watts per fitting (28W x 2)/1, 000 x 12 hours per day x 335 days per year

Annual Energy Usage = 225, 120 kWh

Annual Cost = 225, 120 x R0.93

= R 209, 361

Therefore Energy Savings:  

Energy Savings Per Annum: 209, 040 kWh

Annual Cost Savings: 

Annual Savings: R194, 407

Savings Per Month: R16, 200

Cost Savings After Eskom Increases: 

Year 1: R 194, 407

Year 2: R 225, 512

Year 3: R 248, 063

Total Savings in 3 Years: R 667, 982 + Eskom Rebate
