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 Savings	$	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.

†This fluorescent lamp is better for the environment because of its reduced mercury content. All fluorescent lamps contain mercury for effective operation, however, Philips lamps with ALTO® Lamp Technology average 70% less mercury than the 2001 industry average for fluorescent lamps up to sixty inches which are not TCLP-compliant.
