Good: Philips T12 Long Life
These cool white lamps provide 20% more life
on average than standard T12 lamps1, reducing
maintenance and recycling costs.With a 24,000 hour
rated average life2, these lamps are ideal for places
where maintenance costs are expensive and changing
a lamp can cause disruptions.
Better: Philips 800 eries T12
These lamps provide high color rendering (82 CRI).
Their approximate initial lumens range from 2800 (34W)
to 3200 (40W), making them ideal for applications
requiring maximum continuous light output such as in
offices, industry, healthcare, schools and retail.
Best: Philips Advantage T12
These high performance lamps are ideal for applications
where high lumens, long life and high CRI are required.
The Advantage T12 lamps provide high initial lumens:
3100 (34W) to 3600 (40W); a 24,000 hours rated
average life2; and 85 CRI.
1) When compared to a Philips standard 4'T12 34W lamp with 20,000 hours rated
average life (3 hours per start) with 2650 lumens and 62 CRI.
2) Average life under specified test conditions with lamps turned off and restarted
no more frequently than once every 3 operating hours.

The benefits of ALTO®Lamp Technology
ALTO®Lamp Technology combines low
mercury with long life and energy efficiency—
which together help achieve sustainability.
Low Mercury: Philips T12 fluorescent lamps
featuring ALTO Lamp Technology average
70% less mercury than the 2001 industry
average for fluorescent lamps up to sixty
inches which are not TCLP*compliant.
ource reduction during the manufacturing
phase is essential to mercury management
throughout the product lifecycle.
ALTO lamps use 100% recycled mercury
during the ALTO manufacturing process.
Philips also reuses as much glass and packaging
materials as possible. Philips has target
reductions in packaging and production
processes as outlined in the Annual Philips
ustainability Report.

1) Average life under specified test conditions with lamps turned off and restarted no more frequently than once every 3 operating hours. Lamp life is appreciably longer if lamps are started less frequently.
2) Approximate initial lumens.The lamp lumen output is based upon lamp performance after 100 hours of operating life, when the output is measured during operation on a reference ballast under standard
laboratory conditions. For expected lamp lumen output, commercial ballast manufacturers can advise the appropriate ballast factor for each of their ballasts when they are informed of the designated lamp.
The ballast factor is a multiplier applied to the designated lamp lumen output.
3) Design lumens are the approximate lamp lumen output at 40% of the lamp’s rated average life.This output is based upon measurements obtained during lamp operation on a reference
ballast under standard laboratory conditions.
