Why change to energy efficient fluorescent lighting?
The UK faces a number of key challenges in the coming years. For a long time we have enjoyed an abundant supply of North Sea Gas and Oil. As UK supplies decline and global prices steadily increase, we can look forward to ever escalating fuel bills.As the cost of the fuel that power our electricity generation stations steadily increase, we face the added challenge of a massive investment requirement in the UK’s electricity generation capacity.
Our Nuclear power stations are old and due for retirement, Oil fired stations simply aren’t a sensible option and the Coal fired power stations are simply ‘too dirty’, to keep them running.
The gas fired power stations that make up the majority of our existing power stations, will need to be fed with imported gas, as the UK becomes a net importer of gas. The estimated cost of building enough new power stations to replace the old ones is over £200 billion!
No doubt by the time they are built, the cost will be considerably greater.
At the same time the UK government is leading the world in its efforts to make the UK a ‘cleaner’ country. We believe that this is something we should all be proud of. As the government encourages us to use cleaner energy and to reduce energy consumption through initiatives such as the CRC, you can be sure that this will add to the cost of your energy bill.
So the bottom line is simple. Energy is expensive and is going to get a lot more expensive – so use less of it.
The Department of the Environment advise that 25% of the energy used in commercial buildings is used by lighting. Fluorescent lighting makes up about 70% of this.
With our energy efficient ME-T5 adaptors we can help you reduce energy consumption by as much as 63%. Most of our customers report energy savings of around 50%.
A 5ft T8 tube, running for 14 hours a day every day, will cost between £23 and £50 a year in energy costs alone, depending on the price you pay for the energy you use!
Converting that same 5ft light to T5 using the ME-T5 adaptor will reduce the cost of the energy used to between £11 and £25 – a saving of more than 50%.
The ME-T5 will save you money in the first year and will go on saving you money for years to come. Our product has a 30-month warranty and an expected working life of up to 60,000 hours. Over its expected working life it could save you between £129 and £295 in energy, at constant energy prices!
In fact we guarantee that you will save money using the ME-T5 adaptor, that’s because with the longest guarantee in the market, the conversion to T5 using our product should have paid for itself long before the warranty expires.

Not only does the ME-T5 have the best warranty available, it has also been certified in the UK. Because our testing and certification is so thorough we are able to provide £10 million of product liability insurance.
