Introducing ALTO II™…Lower Mercury Lamps

Philips ALTO II™ fluorescent lamps combine low mercury with long life and energy efficiency—which together help achieve sustainability “ALTO®” with green endcaps has become synonymous with environmental responsibility and low mercury. Since the launch of ALTO Lamp Technology in 1995, 1.3 billion Philips fluorescent lamps with ALTO Lamp Technology have been produced with 20 tons less mercury than previous non-ALTO lamps. Now... ten years after introducing ALTO Lamp Technology, Philips is launching ALTO II™ Technology. Lamps with this technology have 50% less mercury than prior ALTO T8 lamps,making these lamps the most sustainable linear fluorescents available. Best of all, these lamps offer the same performance levels as ALTO Lamps (life, energy, and light output).

• Philips has the longest life T8 lamp portfolio in the industry. Philips PLUS T8Long Life lamps last 50% longer than industry standard T8s, and Philips T8Extra Long Life lamps last 67% longer than industry standard T8’s.
• Energy-efficient lighting not only reduces operating costs; it also supports a clean and sustainable environment.
