1 GREEN SOLUTIONS Taking fluorescent lighting to the next evolution. With energy efficiency on everyone s agenda, the development team at ESL have designed a solution that is setting the benchmark. Not only do we provide a cleaner, greener solution to your lighting requirements but you get a safer working platform in which to do business. With significant reductions in electricity use, not only will the environment benefit but your bottom-line will too.

2 FACTORY AND WAREHOUSE SOLUTIONS Brighten your world. Change the colour in your life The biggest issue that can be seen - or more precisely, not seen - is that most current warehouse lighting systems only produce a select portion of the visible spectrum. This limits your eye s ability to use the illuminance to its potential. Providing light that spans the full colour spectrum expands visual utilisation to enhance what you can see. That s a real eye opener! Being blue, not green, is the real key. Studies have shown that adding light from the blue end of the colour spectrum increases the eye s capability to take in light. ESL NextG products utilise rare-earth triphosphors to cover the complete colour spectrum, enhancing the light, making it more usable. A lesson in how not to be a loser With incandescent and High Intensity Discharge (HID) lights, a fair portion of energy is lost as radiation both UV and purely as heat. And NextG products have been independently tested to have a power factor of 95%. Reducing loss is your biggest gain. Benefits of NextG High Bay Up to 60%* cost savings Long life Low power consumption Very low heat produced Very low UV Instant On Brighter, whiter light High colour rendering (CRI of 83) High power factor (PF of 95%) *Compared to 400W Metal Halide and associated running gear

3 FACTORY AND WAREHOUSE SOLUTIONS The hidden cost of HID lighting To start a Metal Halide, or any type of High Intensity Discharge (HID) light, a ballast - sometimes called a starter, igniter or running gear - is required. This ballast has a current draw of its own which is added to the rated wattage of the lamp. To drive a 400W lamp, a 100W ballast may be required. Therefore, a 400W Metal Halide lamp actually requires 500W of energy to run it.

4 GENERAL LIGHTING SOLUTIONS Products that not only save the environment but money too. What a bright idea. Office lighting could be considered a dull subject, but the NextG Fluoro range will change what you think and put it into a new light. What an illuminating experience. Investigations have shown that a whiter light, which includes greater coverage of the visible spectrum, can have a positive affect on mood and concentration. Visual acuity is also improved and eyestrain reduced by light which doesn t flicker. Group these factors together with possible savings of around 65%* and you ve got an unbeatable combination. The NextG Fluoro is a T8-T5 retrofit kit that is designed to fit into existing T8 fluorescent fixtures without any modification at all. Simply remove the current tubes and starters and replace directly with the NextG Fluoro. In general office environments replacing two of your existing tubes with one NextG Fluoro will produce the same amount of light, but if you require additional illumination, or as a backup for broken or expired tubes, adding a second tube to the existing double batten will increase light to that which is generally unseen. The electronic ballast incorporated into the body of the retrofit kit not only makes existing starters redundant, but improves the stability of light to uncompromising levels. With a range of lengths to suit popular fixture sizes and with a high-grade reflector to focus light on your task, saving money is as easy as flicking a switch. *Compared to 2x36W Conventional fluorescent tubes and ballasts

5 GENERAL LIGHTING SOLUTIONS Problems with conventional fluorescent tubes Conventional fluorescent tubes only use one type of fluorescing powder in their tubes. These halophosphor tubes produce light of a limited visible wavelength. This can have a dim appearance and with standard magnetic ballasts or starters this, more often than not, flickers as well, and it could hum too. This dull light with flicker can not only cause eyestrain but also fatigue. Replacement of a magnetic ballast with an electronic ballast can increase electrical efficiency but the biggest change that would be noticed by doing this is the elimination of flicker. Possible savings comparison: NextG Fluoro Single T8 Batten Dual T8 Batten Rated Wattage 26W 36W 72W Actual Wattage with Ballast 26W 45W 90W Electricity Cost $0.17/kWh $0.17/kWh $0.17/kWh Hours Used 10,000 10,000 10,000 Total Cost $44.20 $76.50 $ Cost Saving ---- $32.30 $ Energy Saving % 71% NB: As with any lighting solution, additional task lighting may be required in circumstances where illuminance on working surface is insufficient to undertake the given task. Savings put into practice: An office replacing two hundred conventional 36W fluorescent tubes with one hundred ESL 26W NextG Fluoro tubes all operating for 10 hours a day, 5 days a week for 48 weeks in the year could save around $2610 and 160.7kg of CO 2 ** per year. **Based on QLD emission factor 1.046kg CO 2-e/kWh
