Sustainability:
Going green doesn’t have to cost more.You can save money
by refitting older T12 lighting systems with new, high-performance long-life
T8 lamps and electronic ballasts. Or replace high-wattage T8s with today’s
lower wattage, energy-efficient T8 lamps—without even changing the ballast.
You can further reduce costs by adding long-life lamps to your fixtures, a
move that extends the relamping cycle, reducing hassles and inventory levels.

Philips: A “LEEDer” in Greening
Healthcare
Regardless of what industry
standards guide your sustainability program,
lighting plays a key role. Four key points to
consider when creating a lighting system for
a healthcare facility:
• Improving the quality of the light produced
• Reducing mercury levels
• Maximizing energy efficiency
• Extending the life of the bulb—for less waste
and lower maintenance costs
Philips has reduced the amount of mercury in
our fluorescent T8 lamps significantly. An industry
leader when it comes to environmentally
friendly, energy-efficient products, our lighting
systems can help you reach your environmental
and financial goals more quickly.
Philips sustainable lighting solutions can help
contribute points toward the U.S. Green
Building Council’s Leadership in Energy and
Environmental Design (LEED) certifications.
