Can a T5 HO fluorescent system use occupancy sensing controls like the HID Hi-Lo dimming system?
Yes. One of the compelling features of the T5HO fluorescent conversion is that it allows the lights to be turned completely off in the aisles when not in use, without shortening the 20,000-hour rated life of the T5HO lamp. HID lamps cannot be turned off completely without a lengthy restart cycle, and the low setting on most Hi-Lo control systems is usually higher than the maximum wattage of the corresponding T5HO system.
