ECO5
Description
Product Specifications: T5 Lamp Holder for T8 fixture
Lamp base: Bi-Pin Tube (GU13)
Voltage: 220-250 VAC
Wattage: 14W, 28W
Operating Temp : 0˚C - 85˚C
Most of the fluorescent lamp used today belongs to the T8 or T12 range. While magnetic ballast provide a low cost solution as a component, overall operational cost will prove to be the higher as compared to changing to a electronics ballast. While there will be a one-time cost conversion, this cost or breakeven point will be recovered over a short period of time. The cost saving achieved from the lower utility cost, longer lifespan of the lamp and lower maintenance cost will far past the initial cost invested . The ballast also contribute to the efficiency of the lighting fixture. The electro-magnetic ballast which has been used for the longest time, has some disadvantages as compared to the electronic ballasts. Electronic ballasts are reduced in weight, quieter operation, and also reduced lamp flicker. Electronic ballasts are directly interchangeable with magnetic ballasts, and they are available to operate most full-size and compact fluorescent lamps. With Electronics ballasts, you will not need to use a starter also. Electronic ballasts are more efficient than magnetic ballasts in converting input power to the proper lamp power, and their operating of fluorescent lamps at higher frequencies reduces end losses, resulting in an overall lamp-ballast system efficacy increase of 15% to 25%.
The ECO5 series family provide the solution for users whom are considering to continue using their current T8 fixture and converting to a T5 system. This range of product will enable the user to convert without having to spend much time or cost in the labor.
The ECO8 series family will alternatively provide a solution for users whom want to completely change the complete fixture to provide the highest efficiency available.

Standards of Conformance
The Importance of meeting the Standards of Conformance not only provide a reliable investment for your Return of Investment but more importantly, meeting safety standards which should never be compromise for cost. At Eco-Light, we ensure meeting these Standards by having these tested and certified by TÜV SÜD PSB in Singapore.
Safety according to IEC 61347 & IEC 61347-2-3
This standard contains the safety requirements of electric units for operation of lamps that are designed for DC- and AC-voltage at 50 or 60 Hz. It is divided into different parts ;
- The first part IEC 61347-1 deals with general and safety requirements.
- Electronic control gear to operate with AC-voltage at 50 or 60 Hz with an operating frequency different from the frequency of the mains supply and to operate fluorescent lamps according to IEC 60081 and IEC 60901 and other fluorescent lamps for high frequency operation are dealt with in part IEC 61347-2-3.
Performance according To IEC 60929
This safety standard whose part IEC 61347-2-3 together with the general part IEC 61347-1 succeeds the former standard IEC 60928, is also called “omnibus” standard. This standard specifies the performance of Electronic Control Gear for fluorescent lamps. It defines the operation at AC-voltage, at 50 or 60 Hz and with a supply frequency different from the operating frequency. It is based on performance standards for fluorescent lamps IEC 60081 and IEC 60901.
EMC Regulation
This test is conducted by an independent testing institute that confirms the compliance of the ECG with the EMC regulation regarding immunity, radio interference suppression and harmonics. At the same time, it is also a confirmation for the CE label that can be applied to ECGs by the manufacturer himself under compliance with the EMC regulation. Luminaire manufacturer can significantly reduce their costs and approval efforts with regards to EMC compliance by using already EMC approved ECGs.
Harmonic Content According To IEC 61000-3-2
Lighting equipment is subject to restrictions on harmonics. The maximum permissible threshold values are defined for two classes of equipment:
• Class C: Effective input power (system wattage) > 25W
• Class D: Effective input power (system wattage) <>RoHS is the acronym for Restriction of Hazardous Substances. RoHS, also known as Directive 2002/95/EC, originated in the European Union and restricts the use of specific hazardous materials found in electrical and electronic products. All applicable products in the EU market after July 1, 2006 must pass RoHS compliance. The substances banned under RoHS are lead (Pb), mercury (Hg), cadmium (Cd), hexavalent chromium (CrVI), polybrominated biphenyls (PBB) and polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE). ECO-5 electronic ballast only uses components and materials that are RoHS compliant.
CE Labeling
Since January 1996, all products falling under the EU directive of electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) must carry the CE label. The CE label indicates the compliance with the requirements of this directive. From January 1997, all products falling under the Low-Voltage directive must also be CE labeled. There is no question that our products comply with the specific EU directives and therefore are labeled with the CE mark. Regarding CE labeling here the following explanations:
- CE-label as basis to introduce product to the market Since 01.01.1996, manufacturers and importers are obliged to apply CE labels to products that have to comply with EMC regulations either directly on the product, its packaging or the accompanying documents. CE labels are obligatory for the sale of products within the European Union. By applying the CE label manufacturers or importers confirm that their products comply with the “basic requirements” of specific European directives and fulfill their protective goals (for example electromagnetic compatibility). Usually, the compliance of particular “basic requirements” is given products are manufactured under consideration of harmonized European standards.
- CE label is a mark for administrative authorities. The CE label is targeted primarily at administrative authorities. It declares to them that CE labeled products complies with European jurisdiction at the time of sale.
- No rights for commerce and end users of examining declarations of conformity issued by manufacturers. The right to ask for and examine declarations of conformity is reserved to authorities controlling the compliance of electric/electronic products with the legal safety requirements. In Germany, it is the “Federal Agency for Post and Telecommunication”
BAPT (responsible with regards to the EMC directive) and the trade supervisory boards (responsible with regards to the Low-Voltage directive).
- CE labels are no quality or approval marks. The only purpose of the CE label is to testify that a product complies with legally specified “basic requirements” of certain directives. It does not make any statement with regards to the quality of labeled products. As a legal administration label without value for end users it should not be mistaken as an approval mark issued by independent testing institutes (such as ENEC or VDE mark). These testing institutes do also not control the legitimacy of an applied CE label.
