The Electronic T-8 System with 2 F032 Lamps and the Mirror Tech Reflector consumes 60 watts of electrical energy.

Benefits

Glare Reduction - With Mirror Tech, you will not notice any difference in light level but you will notice less glare. Less glare means more visual comfort and less fatigue. It also means fewer distracting images on your computer screens.

Appearance - With Mirror Tech, your fixtures will look exactly the way they look now, as if four lamps were in the fixture. Other designs cannot accomplish this, and will create gray shadows across the fixture's lens.

Uniformity - With Mirror Tech reflectors, the design provides a uniform distribution of light throughout the room. Your architectural lighting design is never sacrificed with a Mirror Tech system.

Ease of Installation - With Mirror Tech reflectors, the design fits into virtually any existing lighting fixture.

Consider the following when choosing a reflector system

  1. Does the manufacturer have manufacturer's liability insurance?
  2. Does the manufacturer comply within the parameters of Underwriter's Laboratory (UL)?
  3. Will the reflector be durable and last over time?
  4. Has the reflector been independently evaluated using Illuminating Engineering Society (IES) testing parameters?
  5. Can the manufacturer/distributor provide comparative criteria (i.e. photometric reports, coefficient of utilization (CU) tables, distribution curves, thermal analysis, visual comfort probability (VCP), and efficiency ratings?
  6. Will the integrity of the existing luminaire be maintained when implementing a reflector?
  7. Will the architectural integrity of the prospective space be maintained when implementing a reflector?
  8. Will prospective space comply with IES requirements?
  9. Can the ballast be removed for maintenance without removing the reflector?

How to write a reflector specification

  1. Vendor must provide UL Listing.
  2. Vendor must utilize a durable reflective material with a minimum reflectance of 86%.
  3. Vendor must provide a cross-sectional illustration of the reflector configuration and how it is to be mounted within the luminaire.
  4. Vendor must provide independent photometric test reports of both an original four lamp luminaire and the identical luminaire retrofit with said reflector configuration and how it is to be mounted within the luminaire. Included in the reports shall be:
    1. The overall efficiency of both luminaries (for comparison of relative change).
    2. Luminous intensity values and curves illustrating the shape of the distribution for both luminaries (for comparison of changes in uniformity).
    3. The luminance summaries for both luminaries showing reduction in glare.
    4. Visual comfort probability ratings under standard conditions for both luminaries.
    5. Coefficient of utilization tables for each luminaire to allow analysis of actual room conditions.
  5. Vendor must use a product with a 25 year warranty.
  6. Installation of the reflector shall not require modifications to the original luminaire, such as repositioning of lamp sockets and/or ballasts or ballast channel(s).
  7. Use of the reflector system shall not create an increase in the ambient temperature within the lamp compartment such that the temperature exceeds 77 degrees F (25 degrees C).
  8. Vendor must provide an energy and life cycle cost analysis of the retrofit reflector system relative to the existing illumination system.
