10 Features and Advantages of LED Tube

Here are 10 features and advantages of LED tube that you would like to know.



1. Eco-Friendly
"Eco-friendly" is the most common feature and advantage of LED lighting products. But I still would like to mention it again.
Compared with traditional fluorescent tube, LED tube does no contain any mercury, lead or other harmful substances which could cause a pollution to the environment. Besides, the tube cover can be recycled. That's why LED tube is recognized as one of the green lighting products in the 21st century.

2. Less Heat
Traditional lamps light with tungsten, which would generate a lot of heat in use. However, the lighting efficiency of LED tube light has reached 140L​​/W with a temperature below 60 ℃ at the tube's surface. LED tube does not produce any ultraviolet light, thus causes no harmfulness to documents, or clothes.

3. Noise Free
LED tube does not generate any noise, which makes it a nice choice for places where sophisticated electronic equipment is in use. It's also applicable to libraries, offices, and the similar.

4. Eye-protective
Traditional fluorescent lamp uses AC(alternating current) power, so it will generate 100 to 120 times strobes per second. But LED tube uses LED constant current which convert AC power directly to DC, efficiently reducing lumens depreciation. It starts very fast with no flashing; thus it's indeed an type of eye-protective product.

5. Mosquito or Insect Free
Sound weird? But it does happen to many traditional lamps that the light would attract numbers of mosquitoes or insects. As to LED tube, you don't even have to worry about it. It's one of its unique features.



6. Multi-voltage Applications
Traditional fluorescent light is lit through a high voltage from its rectifier; and it won't work when the voltage lowers. However, LED tube would work very well in a certain range of voltage, for example, AC 85 to 265V.

7. Long Service Life
LED tube consumes one-third less energy of traditional fluorescent light's, but works 10 times longer that of traditional fluorescent lights. With the same brightness, LED tube could work more than 30,000 hours, but save up to 70% electricity.

8. Sturdy
LED tube body is made from epoxy resin rather than traditional glass, which makes it more sturdy. It would not break easily even it drops to the floor.

9. Universality
LED tube has the same shape and size with traditional fluorescent tube lights'. It could be used everywhere where traditional tubes are used.

10. Rich Colors
LED tube could be designed with many colors all in accordance with your request.

LED Tube Basics

LED tube is everywhere in our life. Then what's LED tube? Today, I'm going to show you LED tube basics.



LED tube is also known as LED tube light, or LED fluorescent tube.

Traditional fluorescent tube light has two filaments at both ends. The tube is filled with argon and mercury vapor, and coated with a fluorescent powder. The gases emit ultraviolet and make the powder lighting if connected with electricity. As it contains heavy metal pollutants, " Mercury ", discarded fluorescent tubes could be a great threat to the environment. But LED tube is different. It applies light-emitting diodes as light source; it's high luminous efficient, energy efficient, eco-friendly, and enjoys longer service life.

LED tube's dimension is just like traditional fluorescent tube's. There're T5 tube, T8 tube, as well as T10 tube. The length could be 0.6m, 0.9m, 1.2m, 1.5m, 1.8m, or 2.4m. T5 and  T8 tube are the two most common used LED tubes. They're designed with 3014,or 3528 chip.

Installation of LED tube is very simple. You only have to replace the older fluorescent tube with led tube, and then remove ballast and starter. It's done. The tube would work if you switch the power on.

LED tubes have many advantages, and you could find them everywhere, like buildings, shopping malls, restaurants, schools, homes, factories and other indoor places. Are LED tubes only used for lighting purpose? No, we all get it wrong. Actually, LED tubes are now also used for lighting decoration. They're an outstanding just like other decoration lighting products. The prices of LED tube from different manufacturers could be different. Usually, the price ranges from 5 to 20 RMB for each.



Generally, energy-saving LED tube consumes only about 20 % of ordinary incandescent bulbs', but its service life is more than 10 times that of the latter. Theoretically the service life can reach more than 50,000 hours.  Some brand high-quality LED tube's life could be up to 10,000 hours in practice, but those poor products only could be used for 1,000 hours. Some are even worse; they could not last 20 minutes. LED tube is almost maintenance-free. There is no problem like frequently replacing the tube, ballast or starter.
