A system of energy saving adapters for neon light fittings has been introduced into Malta with the Sliema Car Park and Golden Gate becoming the first companies in Malta to fully convert their neon tube lighting systems using the new Westinghouse Retrolux T5 technology. These unique light fittings enable existing T8 neon lights to be converted to T5 neon tube fittings that reduce electrical consumption by up to 50 per cent, at an economical price.
Westinghouse has developed these products with a worldwide patent after recognising the increasing demand for environmentally friendly and energy saving lighting systems from industry generally. The Kyoto Agreement has put in place a framework for targets to be met in achieving reduced demand for electrical consumption, and products such as these are the first steps in enabling industry to meet these requirements.
During the last six months many local companies have commenced the conversion of their light systems using the Westinghouse Retrolux energy saving technology, these include Bank of Valletta, Tumas Group of Companies, Frank Borda Ltd., Nylon Knitting Ltd., Michael Attard Ltd., Park Towers Supermarket, the Car Clinic &VTR and Bortex Manufacturing Co. Ltd. amongst others.
Demonstrations are also currently underway in several Government departments including the Ministry of the Environment.
Any interested parties can contact Frank Borda Limited, Gala Centre, Testaferrata Street, Msida, Tel: 21331620 for an appointment with Pierre Schembri, the product project consultant.
