What is a LED Tube?

LED light tube uses light-emitting diodes as light sources, which have higher luminous efficiency, more energy-saving, longer service life, and are more environmentally friendly. Become the most ideal product to replace fluorescent tubes at the present stage.

The traditional fluorescent tube is also called a fluorescent lamp. There is a filament at each end of the lamp. The tube is filled with a small amount of argon and thin mercury vapor. The inner wall of the tube is coated with fluorescent powder. The gas between the two filaments emits ultraviolet rays when conducting electricity. Make phosphors emit visible light. Due to the heavy metal pollutant “mercury”, the scrapped fluorescent tubes pollute the environment very seriously.

Introduction

LED fluorescent tubes are the same as traditional fluorescent tubes in terms of size and diameter. There are three types of lengths: 60cm, 120cm, and 150cm. 10W LED fluorescent lamps are brighter than traditional 40W fluorescent lamps, 16W LED fluorescent lamps are brighter than traditional 64W fluorescent lamps, and the brightness of LED fluorescent lamps is especially softer Make it easier for people to learn. The service life is between 50,000 and 80,000 hours, and the power supply voltage is AC85V-260V (AC), without starter and ballast, fast start, low power, no flicker, and not easy to eye fatigue.

Service Life

Because the LED light tube adopts the light-emitting mode of solid light source, the life span mainly depends on the solid LED light source and the driving heat dissipation part. At present, the life span of LED light source has reached more than 100,000 hours. The heat dissipation has basically reached a relatively ideal state. The life of high-quality LED light tubes available in the market basically reaches 10,000-50,000 hours, which is almost 10-50 times that of fluorescent tubes.

LED fluorescent tubes save more than 80% of electricity and are almost maintenance-free. There is no problem of frequent replacement of lamp tubes, ballasts, and starters. The cost saved in about half a year can be exchanged for the cost. The green and environment-friendly semiconductor electric light source has soft light and pure spectrum, which is beneficial to the eyesight protection and physical health of workers. The 6000K cold light source gives people a visually cool feeling, which helps to concentrate and improve efficiency.

Advantages

1. Do not use mercury and do not contain lead. Traditional fluorescent lamps contain a large amount of mercury vapor. Once such lamps are broken, mercury vapor will volatilize into the atmosphere and pollute the environment. LED fluorescent lamps can It is one of the recognized green light sources to protect the environment.
2. Are cold light sources and do not emit a lot of heat like traditional tubes. It can basically convert all electrical energy into light energy, which will not cause energy waste and is very economical.
3. Is a very quiet energy-saving tube, which will not produce noise like traditional fluorescent tubes, and is very suitable for environments that require quiet, such as libraries, offices and other places. It can also protect the eyes very well, and it starts up very quickly without flickering, which is very beneficial to our health.
4. Is a green and environmentally friendly tube, it does not produce ultraviolet light, infrared light and other radiation, does not contain harmful substances such as mercury, and has less heat generation, which well avoids the situation where mosquitoes surround the light source. , which creates a relatively clean environment indoors.
5. Have a long service life, and their power consumption is less than one-third of that of traditional fluorescent tubes, but their brightness is consistent with traditional fluorescent tubes. Generally speaking, the lifespan of normal use is more than 30,000 hours. Long-term use does not need to be replaced, which invisibly reduces labor costs. It is very suitable for some occasions where it is inconvenient to replace tubes. Of course, the colors of LED fluorescent tubes are very rich, and lights of various luminous colors can be made to meet the needs of different occasions.

Disadvantage

The only disadvantage of LED fluorescent tubes is the high price. However, although the current price of LED fluorescent tubes is about ten times that of fluorescent tubes, it is still cost-effective in terms of its lifespan, power saving and pollution-free. Because if compared with a fluorescent lamp with a lifespan of 5,000 hours, an LED fluorescent tube with a lifespan of 50,000 hours is already worth 10 times the price to buy, and the energy saved during the process is completely pure income.
