LED tube T8
Many offices, basements, and workshops are equipped with fluorescent tubes (also called neon tubes). These tubes are not only energy-efficient, but also pose a threat to the environment due to the chemicals they contain. Thanks to advances in LED technology, fluorescent tubes can now be easily replaced with T8 LED tubes. Converting to modern lighting technology offers several advantages.
Advantages of switching from fluorescent tubes to LED tubes
Switching from a conventional fluorescent tube to a modern LED tube brings significant financial benefits. The difference in power consumption is particularly noticeable: The T8 LED tube requires only about half the power compared to a conventional neon tube. This leads to a noticeable reduction in electricity costs, especially in areas where the light remains constantly switched on for extended periods. Another important advantage of the T8 LED tube is its impressive longevity. With a lifespan of 25,000 to 50,000 operating hours, tubes need to be replaced much less frequently in workshops, production halls, or other commercial areas. This not only saves on replacement costs but also on the expense of the specialist personnel responsible for installation. LED tubes also offer a number of practical advantages that make switching from conventional fluorescent tubes particularly attractive. For example, LED tubes eliminate the switch-on delay often observed with neon tubes. While conventional fluorescent tubes can flicker for a few seconds after being switched on, the light from LED tubes is immediately 100 percent bright and constant. Even during operation, LED technology ensures flicker-free light, which creates pleasant lighting conditions, especially in work environments, and promotes concentration.
LED tubes: Efficient lighting for every need
LED tubes are a modern and energy-efficient alternative to conventional fluorescent tubes. They are available with or without starter and come in various lengths, including 30, 60, 90, 120, and 150 centimeters. This versatility allows for use in a variety of applications, from private rooms to large offices and production halls. Another important criterion when selecting LED tubes is the color temperature. The most common variants range from 3000 Kelvin (K) for a warm, cozy light to 6500 Kelvin, which provides daylight. The latter is particularly beneficial for offices and production halls as it resembles natural daylight. This type of lighting not only promotes better concentration but also increases attention and productivity. A major advantage of LED tubes is their easy conversion: Switching from old neon tubes to modern T8 LED tubes not only ensures greater energy efficiency but also better light quality. In addition, the old neon tube is disposed of in an environmentally friendly manner by a municipal waste disposal company after replacement. This means nothing stands in the way of saving money and more sustainable lighting.
