Although manufacturers of T12 fluorescent lighting found a loophole earlier this year to keep the bulbs on the market, utilities are encouraging their commercial customers to upgrade to more energy-efficient lighting, such as T8 or LED. And, as the federal government and utilities continue to move to new energy-efficiency standards, the incentives offered for the upgrades are likely to decrease.As a result of the Energy Policy Act of 2005 and the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007, the U.S. Department of Energy has launched the effort to remove T12 systems from the market. The federal government changed its standards on July 14, which would have discontinued the T12 bulb manufacturing after that date and would have effectively discontinued rebate programs for them. But the manufacturers found a loophole — keeping the T12s compliant by increasing the number of lumens per watt in the lamps.According to use scope, cone crusher is divided into coarse crushing, medium crushing and fine Spring cone crusher.Bacteria cone crusher is a medium crushing and fine crushing equipment for ores that are various hardness of mineral.What's most importance is how to compare the advantage and disadvantage. (Previously, the federal government prohibited the manufacturing and importing of T-12 magnetic ballasts, only allowing electronic ones.)
"We will continue to have lighting rebates for our commercial customers into the foreseeable future. What may change is how much we pay because codes change," said Ray Grinberg, power resources director for Peninsula Light Co., a co-op that serves the Gig Harbor Peninsula.Peninsula Light's rebate program for commercial customers pays for up to 60 percent of the cost of converting to more energy-efficient lighting such as T8, which is a typical office conversion. The incentives can also be applied to LED conversion, but because LED lights are more expensive, rebates only cover about 20 to 30 percent of the costs."The rebates are based on certain measures," Grinberg said,The particles that satisfy the standard of the final Mobile crushing machine products will be send into the sand washing machine for washing,and then be exported as target products.As with the jaw crusher, material travels downward between the two surfaces being progressively crushed until it is small enough to fall out through the gap between the two surfaces. adding that customers can work with certified electricians to create a retrofit proposal, which will estimate fairly accurately the amount of rebates they will receive after completion.Generally speaking, Gyratory crusher also called gyratory crusher, and medium crushing crusher and fine crushing crusher also called bacteria cone crusher. Gyratory crusher is a coarse crushing equipment, it mainly used in crushing various hardness ore in processing industry and other industrial sectors.
The advantages of T8 over T12 is that the lighting is not only more energy-efficient but also brighter, and the lamps last longer. The older magnetic T12 fixtures are also noisy (creating that distinct "buzzing"). Conversion to T8 doesn't require new fixtures, but does need a retrofit of the ballasts.Justin Holzgrove, Mason County Public Utility District 3 conservation manager, said the PUD pays up to 70 percent of total project costs to convert from T12s (to any type of energy-efficient lighting), but noted their rates may also change because the Bonneville Power Administration was set to adjust its incentive rates in October.Utilities "subscribe" for energy-efficient programs of their choices from the BPA and pass down incentives from BPA to their customers. Each utility will decide on its own incentive rate changes based on BPA's move — some may discontinue their programs altogether while others will adjust their rebate rates, but at different times, said Mike Porter, manager of the Northwest Trade Ally Network. The network was created as a service by BPA, with the focus on energy-efficient projects.
