Introduction: EcoLight® T5 (Retrofit Kit) is a new technology incorporating a T5 electronic ballast in a unique aluminium adapter designed to retrofit an existing T12 or T8 fluorescent system (Fixtures/fittings/luminaries) to achieve energy savings rate of up to 50%. EcoLight® T5 (Retrofit Kit / Retrofit Fixture / Conversion Kit / Adaptor) is designed to provide a cost-effective solution to upgrade conventional luminaries to the very latest T5 system performance. The EcoLight® T5 is compatible with T8, T9, T10 and T12 fluorescent lamp technology and provides numerous immediate and lasting benefits that include: energy savings, a short payback period, simple installation, enhanced light quality, improved eye protection, and a high power factor. EcoLight® T5 is designed so that the investment required to convert a lighting system to state-of-the-art T5 technology is very modest. By using the “LUMINAIRE IN LUMINAIRE” concept, installation is greatly simplified. The patented fixture design is created by mounting a standard T5 fluorescent tube on a slim aluminium housing to form a complete integrated easily installed lighting unit. No starter is required and installation of the T5 retrofit fixture is almost as easy as replacing a fluorescent tube. EcoLight® T5 products which incorporate standard end-cap connectors can be simply and quickly installed into existing fixtures without disrupting the existing ceiling system. The unique design of these end-caps, which can be easily rotated, makes the product easy to adapt to all existing luminaries irrespective of the desired final wall-mounting angle. The adapter is available with without a reflector making it suitable for most applications. EcoLight® T5 is one of the most innovative energy saving devices available to lighting industry designers and suppliers. By utilizing proven PFC and SMT technology, robust electronic components and incorporating the best of current electronic ballast technology, the EcoLight® T5 has been widely utilized to retrofit existing Fluorescent Tube Lamp (FTL) Fixtures/fittings/luminaries. EcoLight® T5 is designed with the protection of both the environment and people in mind. It saves up to 50% of the energy required at a given light output, and obviates the needless disposal of the existing luminaires. Furthermore, the high operating frequency of up to 35,000 Hz incorporated in the EcoLight® T5 design provides enhanced eye protection by eliminating the flickering associated with older lighting systems. EcoLight® T5 can also be used for new installations as a standard T5 luminaire by incorporating several additional components necessary for freestanding operation. EcoPower provides a full range of T5 Retrofit Kit products incorporating several different ballast types. EcoLight® T5 products are designed to meet today’s demanding market requirements. Please refer to the detailed specifications sheet for additional product details. FSA, FSI, FAU and FAH Series comply with UL and cUL.

1) The EcoLight® T5 Retrofit Kit is provided with an external wire to ground the retrofit unit. Both wire ends have a ring terminal for easy installation to the existing luminaries. The products also come with a star washer for scratching the painted surface and a screw for fixing the wire.

2) In general, the existing luminaries will incorporate a suitable attachment point for grounding. If it does,

connect the wire to that position with the star washer at the bottom, ring terminal at the middle and the screw is on top. If not, the installer has to drill a hole of 0.125 (1/8)” diameter (Φ3 to Φ4 (mm)) in proper position near the retrofit luminaire. The wire can also be connected directly to the grounding wire or position of the existing luminaries.

3) By using a proper tool, fix the ring terminal to the grounding position or drilled hole. To ensure proper

grounding, the star washer must scratch the painted surface of the existing luminaire completely. Remark: The products (FSA, FSI FAU and FAH series) are intended to be installed in a Listed T8-T12 open or enclosed fluorescent surface or recessed (Type Non-IC) luminaire with a maximum 4 lamp configuration in 2-foot, 3-foot 5-foot and 4-foot length.
