Description
Mass Save has partnered with
electrical distributors to offer the design community, architects, contractors, and commercial lighting customers discounted pricing on the most efficient LED directional lamps and reduced-wattage linear fluorescent lamps when purchased through participating electrical distributors. With special pricing, you can install these high quality energy efficient lamps at a comparable cost to conventional lighting products and enjoy the benefits of premium technology.
How does it work?
Through an agreement with participating electrical distributors, the higher cost of select eligible lamps is paid directly to the distributor by your local electric utility or energy efficiency service provider. In effect, as contractors and commercial lighting customers, you get premium replacement technology at a comparable cost to conventional products.
Benefits:
These lamps save money in three ways:
- Lower utility bills
- Fewer replacement products
- Reduced labor costs
Reduced Wattage Linear Fluorescent Lamps
T8 and T5HO lamps are found in traditional commercial and industrial environments such as retail stores, offices, schools, hospitals, parking garages, etc. and are proven performers in a wide variety of applications. Reduced-wattage T8 and T5HO lamps are excellent substitutes for standard wattage T8 and T5 lamps. They use up to 22% less energy and last 33-100% longer than traditional lamps. Many reduced-wattage T8 and T5HO lamps also have better color rendering properties and hold their rated lighting levels longer. That means that products and people will appear in a more natural color.
Qualifying T8 and T5HO Lamps
Reduced Wattage T8 fluorescent lamps: All eligible lamps must be CEE qualified. For more details, please log onto CEE’s web site at www.cee1.org.

Important Technical Information
Requires instant-start ballast, unless otherwise listed. Consult manufacturer’s literature for additional product information and technical requirements.
LED Directional Replacement Lamps
Energy-efficient LED directional lamps are excellent substitutes for conventional halogen lamps typically used for spot and track lighting applications. They provide up to 80% energy and cost savings, last at least 10 times longer than traditional lamps, and produce less heat output for greater customer comfort and lower A/C costs.
LED directional lamps also provide the same high-quality natural color lighting for product display as conventional halogen lamps. All eligible LED directional replacement lamps are ENERGY STAR® qualified, provide excellent CRI (Color Rendering Index) and instant-on capability. Moreover, LEDs do not contain toxic materials such as mercury or lead. Many of these lamps are also dimmable. Typical applications include retail stores, restaurants, hotels, museums and galleries.
