NORTHCLIFFE lighting fixtures T8 series with electronic technology are now becoming the standard in new construction and renovation applications. The operation of  energy saving luminaries with fluorescent lamps is quieter, with no flickering and increased efficiency in lighting output with less energy consumption than traditional luminaries with magnetic ballasts.
Ordinary luminaire that regulate power to fluorescent tubes, operate at 50Hz or cycles per second, resulting in a barely perceptible flicker and a noticeable hum. The flickering light increases stress and the hum is quite annoying for people. Many people are sensitive to ballast flicker and hum and it can cause headaches, burning eyes, tension and general fatigue.
T8 Energy Savings series are now available with high frequency cycling which effectively eliminates all flicker and hum, removing associated health concerns.

Ordinary luminaire with magnetic ballast

BREEZE T8 Energy saving series, with electronic technology

The lower system electrical energy usage

Stable power losses

Requires 15-20 % less electrical energy, mainly due to the efficiency gain of the lamp, when it is operated at high frequencies and advanced technology.

Quieter operation

Vibration of electromagnetic field causes humming noise.

No audible noise, less distracting

Reduced lamp flicker

50 Hz frequency causes lighting flicker levels, which could cause burning eyes and headache.

Flicker-free (46 kHz) light improves the working environment, doesn’t cause people fatigue and headaches

Longer lamp life

The starters and lamp maintenance costs

The longer lamp life due to the optimal starting conditions and the optimal setting of  the electrodes during burning

No end life effect

System attempts to ignite the lamp until the contact of starter switch sticks together, then continuously a current can lead to overheating of the lamp ends. Fire danger.

Electronic technology has built-in protection  so that in case of end of life of a lamp, the ballast will then switch off the supply to the lamps to prevent unnecessary stress to the circuit
