1) Average life under engineering data with lamps turned off and restarted once every 12 operating hours. Not recommended for use with occupancy or motion sensors on instant start ballasts.
2) The lamp lumen output is based upon lamp performance after100 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.
Lamp meets US Federal Minimum Efficiency Standards.
4) The TCLP is the US EPA’s Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure.
5) Warranties: Universal T8, 24 months; Energy Advantage Long Life 25W T8, 24 months; PLUS T8, 30 months; Advantage T8, 36 months.
Reduce Philips ALTO®fluorescent lamps combine lowmercury
with long lifeand energy efficiency—which together help
achieve sustainability:
>Low Mercury Philips ALTO lamps average 70 percent less
mercury than the 2001 industry average for fluorescent lamps
up to 60" which are not TCLP4-compliant. Source reduction
during the manufacturing phase is essential to mercury
management throughout the product lifecycle.
>Long Life Philips ALTO PLUS T8 lamps achieve 50 percent
longer lifethan standard T8 lamps, safer for the environment.
>Energy Efficiency Energy-efficient lighting not only reduces
operating costs; it also supports a clean and sustainable
environment.
Reuse ALTOlamps use 100 percent recycled mercury
during the ALTOmanufacturing process.
Recycle Philips encourages recycling of all spent mercury-
containing lamps at end of life. For information on recycling
regulations in your state go to www.lamprecycle.org.

>ALTOT8 lamps have warranty periods ranging from
2–3 years5.
>ALTO T8 require no burn in before dimming.
>ALTO T8 lamps can contribute to LEED-EB certification.
