LED T8 and T12 tube lights serve as an economical replacement for traditional T8 and T12 fluorescent tubes. The typical application is the replacement of 1200mm T8 36W (+4W ballast) fluorescent tubes with 18W LED T8 tubes reflecting an energy/electricity saving of up to 55%. Now with over 100Lm/W our LED tubes exceed the performance of T5 Fluorescent tubes in terms of power saving, life time and lumen output.
With an extended life time of 5 to 10 times that of the traditional fluorescent tube depending on the quality and type of the original tube and the operating cycle (how often it is switched on and off), our LED Tube replacements exceeds the specifications of any current T5 fluorescent tube replacement. Along with reduced life, the fluorescent tube will also degrade faster such that the original lumen output is reduced to 70% by 10,000 hours where at this point the LED tube will still have approximately 90% of the original lumen output.
Part of the efficiency of the LED tube is due to the 120° to 180° directional downward beam such that 90% or so of the light produced is usable. In contrast, the typical fluorescent has a 360° beam spread such that much of the upward light is wasted leading to 40% or so of useable downward light and much wastage of light and associated power. This figure can be improved with the use of reflectors, but much of the light is still reflected back onto the tube which is in the way of the reflector and many fluorescent tube fixtures lack the use of reflectors. Customers also need to be aware that light measurement refers to the total “downward” luminous flux rather that total luminous flux which can include upward dispersion of light which is generally wasted.
Most fluorescent office lighting produces a colour temperature or light colour which is too white. With LED lighting we can tailor the colour temperature of your office space or other work environment to a more optimal colour temperature generally between 4500 and 5000K. Various studies have shown that work efficiency can improve at colour temperatures which are a closer match to noon daylight or 4500 to 5000K.
With an operating temperature of between -40°C to 40°C our LED Tube designed for freezers and other refrigerated units will operate in almost any harsh environment.
Once again flexible driver solution is essential for maintaining the life of the LED tube. Rather than offering the typical LED tube which contains an inaccessible internal driver we provide an option of utilising a long life external driver or patented replacable plug and play driver which after many years of operation can be easily unpluged and replaced by general maintenance staff to provide many further years of operation. We have such confidence in this replacable driver system that we provide a 5 year commercial warranty.
Flourescent tubes are generally not dimmable and those which are offer poor performance. With LED tube technology we offer a number of different dimming options for seamless dimming.
Our intelligent LED tubes can vary their brightness according to time of day, occupancy, can be controlled via WIFI or IPhone applications and can collect data on usage providing an energy saving of up to 80%
