How to choose the right LED tube?

Led Tube lights , led lights

The transition from conventional to LED lighting is a wise choice for any professional application. In fact, it reduces energy consumption by at least 70%, as well as maintenance costs, while respecting the lighting standards in force - particularly as regards the lighting of indoor workplaces.
If it is easy to switch to lighting with LED tubes, some criteria are taken into account to choose the right tube for your situation, so follow the guide!

Bottom and diameter

The base corresponds to the end of the tube were two pins are visible. The tubes, most commonly used, come in 2 sizes:
  • ·         T5 tube with a diameter of 16mm - G5 base - 5mm the gap between the two contact pins.
  • ·         T8 tube with a diameter of 26mm - G13 base - 13mm gap between the two contact pins.

The most common tube lengths are:

  • ·         T5: 115cm and 145cm.
  • ·         T8: 59cm, 120cm and 150cm.

If for traditional fluorescent tubes, the length is related to the power, this is different for the LED tubes. Also, it is indicated on the LED tubes which "old power" these replace.

Color code

The color of light on the LED tube is usually indicated by a color code. The most common color codes are:
  • ·         827 = 2700 Kelvin - Very hot white.
  • ·         830 = 3000 Kelvin - Warm white.
  • ·         840 = 4000 Kelvin - Cool white.
  • ·         865 = 6500 Kelvin - Daylight.

How to choose the right LED panel? The LED panel is an ultra-thin luminaire adapted to replace conventional T5 fluorescent tubes Panels with integrated LED technology to provide a professional lighting solution - with optimal energy savings - for offices, businesses, schools, and supermarkets. In addition, their ultra-slim design makes their installation easy in standard ceiling systems even with limited ceiling height. The built-in LED light source provides diffused, even light with a clean finish for long life and low maintenance due to dust-tightness. Less energy efficient, LED panels are ideal substitutes for existing T5 fluorescent tubes. In fact, the old 60x60 cm luminaires with 4x18W fluorescent tubes and ballasts can be immediately replaced by a 33W LED panel. Thus, you save up to 60% on your energy expenditure from 79W to 33W for better lighting efficiency. Characteristics: Dimensions ⎪ the most common dimensions of LED panels are 60x60cm or 30x120cm. ...
