Cost of Ownership Savings

ALTO PLUS Slimline 8-foot T8 Fluorescent Lamps vs. Standard 8-foot T8 Lamps

General Overview

ALTO PLUS Slimline 8-foot T8 fluorescent lamps provide up to 60% longer life than standard 8-foot T8 products. With an incremental cost as little as $1.00 per lamp, benefits and financial impact can be significant.

Benefits

By using ALTO PLUS Slimline 8-foot T8 lamps the lamp replacement and labor costs are extended by an extra 2 years on a facility that operates an average of 4,000 hours per year. For example, a standard 8-foot T8 product, with a rated average life expectancy of 15,000 hours, will last nearly 4 years (15,000 hours rated average life / 4,000 hours per year = 3 3/4 years). Conversely, ALTO PLUS Slimline 8-foot T8 lamps will operate for 6 years due to their rated average life expectancy of 24,000 hours (24,000 hours rated average life/4,000 hours per year = 6 years).

Financial Impact

With the extended life expectancy of 2 years and the benefits of Philips’ exclusive ALTO TCLP-compliant low mercury technology, the positive financial impact of installing ALTO PLUS Slimline 8-foot T8 lamps will provide cost of ownership savings per lamp as follows:

Incremental Cost $ (1.00) Material Cost Avoidance

$4.00

Labor Cost Avoidance

$3.72

Disposal Cost Avoidance

$0.72

Cost of Ownership Sa

vings $ 7.44

A Material Cost Avoidance is the annualized

acquisition cost per lamp (average cost per lamp of $7.50 for standard 8-Foot T8 product / 3 3/4 years = $2.00 per year). By installing ALTO PLUS Slimline 8-Foot T8 lamps, a material cost per lamp of $4.00 is avoided due to the extra 2 years of life expectancy. Note that the average cost per lamp may vary.

B Labor Cost Avoidance is the annualized labor

replacement cost per lamp (labor replacement cost per lamp of $7.00 / 3 years = $1.86 per year). By installing ALTO PLUS Slimline 8-Foot T8 lamps, a labor replacement cost per lamp of $3.72 is avoided due to the extra 2 years life expectancy.Note that the labor replacement cost per lamp may vary.

C Disposal Cost Avoidance is based on an

average of $.09 per foot for lamp recycling or $.72 per 8-foot lamp. Philips Lighting Company encourages the recycling of all fluorescent lamps.
