Advanced Control Technologies CL4W-4500K (LED Tube, ControlLED, 4ft.,White, 18W) - Manual

1. Environmentally Positive
Dimmable controlLED Lites are a 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 waste, Mercury is the second
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 controlLED Lite is only 18 Watts, much less than conven-
tional T-12 fluorescent lamps at 40 Watts and less than newer T-8 lamps at 32 Watts. Replacement
labor expense is reduced with controlLED tubes, as their expected lifetime is in excess of 50,000 hours.
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 controlLED
Lites.
3. Intelligent Control (allows dimming and other remote features)
Dimming produces additional savings. Dimmable controlLED Lites (an ACT patent pending product) use
an external LED Driver/Signal Conditioner mounted in place of the ballast (same footprint and fits under
the ballast cover). It accepts a 0-10VDC control signal and provides features like local or remote
dimming, dimming adjusted by ambient daylight or automatic ON/OFF from occupancy sensors.
Other control signals and protocols can be adapted to the 0-10VDC input.
4. Longer Lifetime
Typically LEDs have a minimum life time of 50,000 hours or more, while fluorescent lamps last 10,000-
20,000 hours. This equates to a greater life for the controlLED Lite of two and one half to five times
longer. This makes the controlLED Lite perfect for large office spaces that are difficult to re-lamp
without disturbing personnel, and light fixtures in factories or warehouses that are difficult to access.
controlLED 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. controlLED 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 controlLED Lites versus fluorescent lamps.
