An energy auditor I know wants to change T8 troffer lamps to T5 lamped troffers to save energy cost. This is in an office with 8' ceilings.
I thought T5's were for hi-bay lighting due to high intensity.
Do lighting retrofit guys do a retrofit to change T8 lamped fixtures to T5 lamped fixtures?
If so, what is the payback period for that? Seems like it would be too long considering you have to change the ballast and lamp-holder ends for a small savings.
