Top 10 Benefits of Using LED Tube Lights Instead of Conventional Fluorescent Tube Lights

Before you read this post, you may have a general idea about LED tube lights or even benefit from an electric cost reduction by using LED tube lights instead of fluorescent tubes. Yeah, LED lighting is the most efficient artificial lighting by far and there is a tread for us to retrofit conventional fluorescent tube lights with the energy-efficient LED tube lights.

 

Conventional fluorescent tubes are used for decades as common and uniform illumination in our daily lives. It is inexpensive and easy to be installed in our home, office, plant and everywhere. Now there are quite lots of benefits and advantages we say LED tube lights will replace highly the fluorescent tube in the next coming 5- 10 years - and this is why we are so glad about offering you our exclusive LED tube lights wholesale section with quality LED lights from certified LED manufacturers by Wholesale-LED.com.

 

1. Lifetime Saving

Whenever talk about LED & associated LED lighting products, long life and energy-saving are the two points we have ever mentioned most. For LED tube lights it is the same. Taking a 20w T8 LED tube light for an instance, it has a life time expectation of 50,000 hours and about 60-80% energy saving in comparison with conventional fluorescent tube lights. You can image a LED lighting tube in your office or plant which lasts over 11 years with uncompromised quality light than fluorescent tube, while saves your money every day by cutting your cost of energy consumption – a smart way of lifetime saving.

 

2. Brightness

LED tube lights deliver brightness output that is 100% higher than conventional tube lights at the minimum. A 18w T8 4ft LED tube light can produce a higher luminous flux than, or at least equal to, those by a traditional 36w fluorescent tube lights. 
BTW, a more or less power consumption LED tube light are also available for your special brightness requests in our wholesale LED lighting site for both your residential and commercial purposes.

 

3. Green Products

As we all know, most conventional fluorescent tubes contain a multitude of materials which are dangerous for our environment. E.g. mercury, there is always risk for harmful mercury vapor be released into the air or the water supply in case their fragile glass cover is broken.

As a comparison LED tube lights are free of toxic chemicals. They are made of aluminum alloy and PC mainly, and make no negative effects to our surrounding with all materials be recycled.

 

4. Directional Lighting

LED tube light has more focused light than fluorescent tube. It is designed commonly as with a 120-140 beam angle comparing to a 360 degrees beam angle by fluorescent tube light – which reduces waste of lights casted upwards and make LED tube light more brighter than fluorescent tube under an identical luminous flux output.

And your can get the LED tube lights with rotatable end caps which help you adjust the casting light to the right position.

 

5. Wide Range of CCT

CCT is the abbreviation of correlated color temperature. It provides a range from 2700K to 9000K for LEDs or LED lighting products, which has a great benefit for our customizing ambience in our working or amusement places.

 

Fluorescent tube lights have only a few types for your choice in the market: 3000K, 4000K, 5500K and 6000k and etc.

 

6. High CRI

You can get better color rendering with LEDs than with fluorescent tube lights. Fluorescent tube lights work by transforming ultraviolet radiation into visible light, which is actually a part of the light spectrum and just past the blue and violet area. It makes the light a little bluish and do not render reds well - this is why most of fluorescent tube lights have 80- CRI.

LEDs offer a different mode to render colors and based on the todays LED technology, 70+, 80+ or even 90+ LED lighting products are available in the market.

 

7. No UV or IR radiation

LED illumination produces little infrared light or UV emissions. In this case, LED tube lights can be highly used not only for goods and materials that are sensitive to heat due to the benefit of little radiated heat emission, but also for illumination of UV sensitive objects or materials such as in museums, art galleries and etc.

 

8. Instant On & Frequently switching

LEDs light up and deliver 100% brightness as soon as you turn them on while conventional fluorescent tubes may need a warm-up time and take seconds to reach full brightness.

Also LED tube lights, like any other electronic products, bear a frequent switching without any negative effects on its life time and lighting performance.

 

9. Durable Quality

LED tube lights are extremely durable and last up to 10 times longer than fluorescent light tubes. It builds with sturdy materials or components (Typically aluminum alloy body, PC lens, PCB, encapsulated LEDs) and is resistant to bump, shock and vibration, which has great advantages in using applications, as well as in transportation and handling procedures for LED wholesaler and manufacturers.

 

10. No Ballast

Ballast, no matter magnetic or electrical, is used to offer a high voltage upon the two ends of fluorescent tubes before lighting. It is useless for LED tube lights, which can be installed either into your traditional T8 tube light bracket after removing ballast and starter, or into a new bracket without ballast.

Also, there will no buzzing for LED tube lights if we remove their ballasts.
