Our linear fluorescent lamps cover every kind of application and excel in long
life, energy savings, low maintenance and colour rendering. Thanks to the
superior quality of light and more vibrant colours, merchandise stands out and
people look more natural. Architects, specifiers and facilities managers can now
deliver better lighting with lower costs.
We look to the future
Our products are designed to comply with current standards, and anticipate
forthcoming regulations.
Our double-coated Linear Fluorescent Lamps (LFLs) comply with all relevant
European standards, including the 2010 ‘ecodesign’ regulations (Commission
Regulation (EC) No 245/2009 – ecodesign requirements applicable from 13 April
2010). Every product with Polylux™ or Starcoat™ coating technology in our
LFL range, whether premium or regular, uses triphosphor elements not only to
satisfy these standards but to exceed them.
As part of the GE commitment to energy efficiency and respect for
the environment, we build efficiency into all aspects of our LFLs from
manufacturing and distribution to day-to-day use. Mercury levels in our linear
fluorescent lamps are below the permitted levels and we continue to push the
boundaries in environmental compliance.
Maximum efficiency.
Maximum compliance.
Maximum benefits.

There’s never been a better
way to save costs and energy.
T8 Watt-Miser™
Save energy costs and cut CO2 emissions with a simple change of tube,
thanks to the T8 Watt-Miser™. It’s ideal for any T8 indoor application from
a single fitting to large-scale installations such as offices, retail outlets,
supermarkets, schools and public buildings.
You could save up to 10% on running costs, with rapid payback times
typically less than a year – that’s faster than many other products on the
market today.
Our commitment is to help save the environment: the T8 Watt-Miser™
also means fewer carbon emissions.

7
Look at the savings and
benefits:
• Consumes up to 10% less energy
than T8 lamps
• Uses existing fittings and control
gear – reduced energy consumption
with current controlled ballasts,
additional light with constant
power ballasts
• Excellent colour quality – Ra 85
• Exceptional lumen maintenance
• Product life 23,000 hours on
12 hour cycle on electronic ballast
• Significantly reduced CO2 emission
(0.5kg/kWh)
• Typical payback in less than a year

Superior energy savings.
Superior lumen performance.
T5 Watt-Miser™
The T5 Watt-Miser™ uses 5% less energy than GE T5 LongLast™,
yet delivers the same lumen output.
Take total system efficiency into account and the energy saving can
be as high as 45% against standard T8 tubes. As electricity costs
account for over 90 percent of total lighting costs – these savings
have a big impact on reducing electricity expenses.
The super-slim T5 design not only reduces CO2 emissions but also
waste disposal.
Now offices, schools, colleges, public buildings, warehouses,
industrial buildings, hypermarkets and supermarkets – in fact,
anywhere with very long lighting cycles – can benefit from significant
energy savings.

T8 covRguard™
, Cap G13
Imagine the dangers caused by a broken tube in
food preparation areas or interiors with public
access. Shards of glass could cause damage or
injury – and even expose your business to
litigation. Why take risks?
covRguard™ protects both employees and the
public, and helps managers comply with
legislation and due diligence requirements.
It comprises a protective outer sleeve that’s
fitted to our T5* and T8 linear fluorescent lamps,
containing glass and phosphors in the event of
breakage. covRguard™ is UV stable and will not
affect lumen output in normal usage.
*New T5 covRguard range will be introduced soon
