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
A
$4.00
Labor Cost Avoidance
B
$3.72
Disposal Cost Avoidance
C
$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.
