Philips ALTO II Technology:
All fluorescent lamps need a small amount of mercury to operate efficiently but Philips has been working hard to reduce the mercury levels. With the use of ALTO® Lamp Technology, Philips set a standard by reducing the amount of mercury inT8 lamps to a then industry-low 3.5mg.With the new ALTO II™ Technology, fluorescent T8 lamps now have only 1.7mg of mercury and still deliver outstanding performance. And to further help reduce environmental impact, Philips only uses recycled mercury in the lamp.
There is a misconception that lowering the mercury will reduce lamp life, energy savings or light output—this is not the case. Philips has developed an innovative way to lower the mercury level without sacrificing life or any other performance parameters. The Philips T8 portfolio is the only one to offer Extra Long Life lamps with 40,000 rated average life at 12 hours per start on instant start ballasts. These Extra Long Life lamps are available in four color temperatures and in two wattages: 32W and 25W.

Versatile and high-performing, Advance’s Optanium® high-efficiency electronic ballasts represent a breakthrough in fluorescent T8 system componentry. Engineered to optimize lighting performance and maximize energy savings, Optanium ballasts from Advance provide an unparalleled package of features, advantages, and benefits to optimally support the market’s wide variety of T8 fluorescent lamps. Offered in a broad range of options to meet the market’s complete array of T8 application needs, Optanium electronic ballasts enable T8 lighting systems to reach their full potential and represent the industry’s most flexible and comprehensive family of high-efficiency lighting solutions.

Fully compatible with all major lamp brands, Optanium ballasts reliably drive 1-4 of the market’s wide variety of T8 fluorescent lamp options from standard 32-watt, 25-watt, and 17-watt lamps to 4-foot energy-saving 30-watt, 28-watt, and 25-watt models for maximum versatility in a broad array of applications.
Optanium ballasts are offered in both Instant Start (for applications involving long burn hours) and Programmed Start options (for frequent switching applications or for use with occupancy sensors) as well as in low, normal, and high ballast factor versions to promote maximum flexibility and freedom of choice.
Designed to maximize energy efficiency and reduce costs, Optanium ballasts deliver the market’s lowest system wattage and have been proven to help reduce energy consumption by up to 45% relative to older systems involving T12 lamps and magnetic ballasts and by as much as 20-30% relative to the use of conventional T8 lamps and electronic ballasts, resulting in the lowest cost of system ownership.
Optanium Instant Start ballasts are truly "instant." By consistently igniting lamps within ANSI specifications of 100 milliseconds, lamp stress is lessened and the lamp is maintain to its maximum life as specified by the lamp manufacturer.
