BALTIMORE—SavWatt USA, Inc. announced that it will sell LED T-8 fluorescent tube replacements. SavWatt’s 16 Watt , 4 foot, T-8 LED tube will replace a typical 40 watt fluorescent tube (includes ballast), providing immediate energy savings of 60 percent, which does not include savings for service and replacement costs. Based on an average energy cost of 15 cents per kilowatt, the tube will have a 24 month payback.
SavWatt LED tubes consume low power. Power efficiency reaches 90 percent, with energy savings of 60 percent compared with traditional fluorescent tubes. Tubes contain no ultraviolet, infrared ray radiation, mercury or heat from the illumination.
