16 Reasons to consider replacing existing 400 Watt Metal Halide with RAPTOR™ T5/HO luminaires from The Light Edge, Inc.

• Reduced lighting energy: operating costs lowered by over 50%.
• High CRI color rendering: improved definition, better visual acuity.
• Uniform distribution of light: no hot spots, less contrast.
• Greater safety:  no HID "non passive" fire danger or HID exposed arc tube UV danger potential.
• Higher lumen maintenance: less output degradation, more useful light over life.
• Silent operation: no audible ballast "hum".
• Longer lamp life: 40,000 hrs vs. 20,000 hrs at 12 hours per start.
• Less heat output: reduced cooling load requirement with less BTU production.
• No flicker: eliminates stroboscopic effect with high frequency electronic ballasting.
• Programmed start ballast: no delay starting, treats cathodes gently for long lamp life.
• No restrike time: allows for the use of occupancy sensors or switching for additional energy savings.
• Low cost, "greener" lamp:  cost far less than HID lamps, contains FAR less mercury.
• Extruded anodized aluminum: excellent heat sinking properties, and robust, as opposed to sheet metal.
• Fully Assembled: rapid installation, lower labor cost.
• Easily maintained: LOWER maintenance costs.
• Fifteen (15) year fixture warranty.
