T5 adapters are simple plastic adaptors which plug into T8 fluorescent lights, commonly found in offices and work places.
These adaptors allow you to plug in the smaller more energy efficient T5 lights, which reduce energy consumption by around 30-40%
The way it saves this energy, is by replacing an magnetic ballast with an electronic one which uses less energy, along with the light globe itself using less energy.
This can reduce a businesses lighting costs by 30-40% and provide a very cost effective way of cutting down on running costs.

Why use T5 adaptors
Why us T5 Adaptors? Currently there are many products on the market for energy efficienct lights. LED technology being a for runner, its lamp life is over 13 years and can cut the running costs down by a massive 2 thirds.
The downside of this technology is the cost and low penetration into the market. LED lighting technology is still in its infancy, having not been taking up by commercial businesses or the residential market in any great numbers. so the price of this technology is still very high.
What T5 adaptors can do is provide an energy saving of 30-40% at a very low cost, in the easiest way possible.
To put LED lights into current light fittings would need a replacment of the whole light fitting which can be very expensive. For 20-50$ per light fitting you can get this cost saving, without replacing the fittings or even turning off the power in your premises.
