StandAlone
Energy Saving,
Shatterproof,
and Nontoxic
StandAlone
LED LITE
1. Environmentally Positive
StandAlone LED Lites are a direct replacement for fluorescent lamps. They use no mercury or lead, which
plays a positive role in protecting the environment. By contrast, fluorescent lamps are the largest source of
mercury contamination in municipal landfills. After radioactive substances, mercury is the most toxic pollutant.
2. Saves Money
Lighting represents 26% of the energy consumed in a building and it has always been a target for reduction.
Power consumption of the 4 foot StandAlone LED Lite is 55% less than conventional T-12 fluorescent lamps at
40 Watts and less than newer T-8 lamps at 32 Watts. Replacement labor expense is reduced with StandAlone
LED Lites, as their expected lifetime is in excess of 50,000 hours and there are no ballasts to replace.
Expected life of T12 and T-8’s are only 10,000 and 20,000 hours respectively and at the end of their useful life
disposal of their toxic remains is costly. There is no costly disposal associated with StandAlone LED Lites.

3. Intelligent Control Model Available (allows dimming and other remote features)
The dimming model controlLED Lites (an ACT patent pending product) uses an external LED Driver/Signal
conditioner mounted in place of the ballasts (same footprint and fits under the ballast cover). It accepts a
0-10VDC control signals and provides features like local or remote dimming, dimming adjusted by ambient
daylight plus automatic ON/OFF from an occupancy sensor. Other control methods are available depending on
your specific needs. See our controlLED Lites Brochure for information.
4. Longer Lifetime
Typically, LEDs have a minimum life time of 50,000 hours or more, while fluorescent lamps typically last 10,00020,000 hours. This equates to a greater life for the StandAlone LED Lite of two and one half to five times longer.
This makes the StandAlone LED Lite perfect for large office spaces that are difficult to re-lamp without disturb-
ing personnel, and light fixtures in factories or warehouses that are difficult to access. StandAlone LED Lites
have an even longer life when dimmed or when used in low ambient temperatures.
5. Light Not Heat
Conventional fluorescent lamps and their ballasts generate heat, which places a burden on the air conditioning
system of a building. StandAlone LED Lites convert almost all of the electrical energy into light which saves
money when trying to cool a building. Studies suggest that the additional savings from reduced air conditioning
demand in warmer climates, could generate as much as an additional 50% of the savings achieved in operating StandAlone LED Lites versus fluorescent lamps.
6. Quiet
The StandAlone LED Lite does not require the use of a ballast and therefore makes no humming or buzzing
noises. It is an excellent choice for maintaining quiet environments in libraries and offices.

7. No Flickering
Conventional fluorescent lamps utilize alternating current to operate. The electrical discharge through the
low pressure gas/mercury mixture has a slightly perceptible flicker equivalent to twice the 60 cycles per
second alternating current. This can cause a strobe effect, where something spinning at just the right speed
may appear stationary. As a result, fluorescent lamps are unsuitable for workshops. Some people even find
this flickering can cause migraine headaches.
However, StandAlone LED Lites, change AC directly into DC and
eyes and provide a safe work environment.
8. Does Not Attract Insects
Unlike fluorescent lamps, StandAlone LED Lites do not emit ultraviolet rays which attract mosquitoes and
other insects. Therefore StandAlone LED Lites , make a perfect outdoor light source.
9. Better Light Quality
Fluorescent lamps are most often used where light quality (color temperature) is not important, such as
factories, offices and outdoors. When better light quality is needed the fluorescent lamps are often supplemented with halogen or incandescent spot lights. LEDs are available in almost any light quality. The replacement of fluorescent lamps with StandAlone LED Lites of the desired color temperature can make the extra
halogen and incandescent spot lights unnecessary. Using LED light sources, rather than fluorescent lamps,
also minimizes the harmful effects of ultraviolet light on printed documents (in museums) and clothing (in
retail stores).
10. Operates in a Broad Voltage Range: 109V to 305V
do not flicker. Therefore they protect the
LED lamps will stay bright despite a broad voltage range in the power source. The conventional fluorescent
lamp illuminates its phosphor coating by passing high voltage (with the help of a ballast) through the mercury/
gas vapor inside the tube, and will not work without proper voltage present.
11. No ignition Required
Unlike traditional fluorescent lamps the StandAlone LED Lite does not require the use of a starter or ballast
since it does not need to heat electrodes before starting. StandAlone LED Lites have an immediate turn-on,
unlike the well known flickering start of traditional fluorescent lamps. If using our dimmable controlLED Lites,
an external LED Driver/Signal Conditioner is installed in place of the ballast (same size).
12. Vibration Resistant and Drop Safe
StandAlone LED Lites use a shatter resistant Polycarbonate housing unlike the fragile glass of fluorescent
lamps. In handling and operation, users can feel secure about the safety built into these lamps.
13. Less Waste
Presently over 500 million fluorescent lamps are discarded annually in the U.S.
The StandAlone LED Lite is constructed like other electronic devices; therefore, the tube and LED core could
be disassembled and recycled like other electronics. Since the StandAlone LED Lite has a lifetime at least
five (5) times longer than most fluorescent lamps, they generate 1/5 of the waste in replacement tubes.
14. Environmentally Conscious
Replacing fluorescent lamps with LED lights may qualify for LEED points. Contact your engineer or LEED
consultant for more information.
