■ WITH the price of electricity
only likely to increase, the Optoelectronic Manufacturing Corporation (UK) Ltd (OMC) provides an opportunity to save money.
The company, based in
Cornwall, offers ultra-low-energy long-life semi-conductor lighting products which can replace almost any traditional lighting. Retrofit LED replacements for T8 fluorescent tubes offer enhanced efficiency and longevity. Two main styles are supplied - a low-voltage 24V input tube and a tube with an integrated mains driver allowing the light to be powered directly by 240V. In many cases, the conversion is straightforward - you simply remove the fluorescent light starter and swap the tube for an LED version. These LED replacement tubes
provide around the same level of light as the fluorescent tubes while saving between 50 to 65 per cent on electricity usage. The tubes have an average life
expectancy of more than five years on-time. They do not require a warm-up period and are suitable for use with occupancy sensors.
The LED tubes are solid-state
devices which contain no hazardous gases and, when they eventually do require replacement, it is possible to repair and recycle the tubes rather than throw them away.
