TUBES LED lamps combine a number of very useful functions, not only for lighting that is easy to replace, but also and above all for lighting situations that are difficult for the user or installer to deal with, with high luminous fluxes.
LED tubes offer a very interesting alternative to traditional fluorescent lighting.
Very long lifetimes of up to 50,000 or even 70,000 hours, excellent luminous efficacy and energy efficiency of up to a hundred lumens per watt and, last but not least, uniform illumination with instant and optimum light output, no flickering, no “warm-up” time and instant development of all possible power.
5 good reasons to switch to LED tubes
- Compatible with most installations
LED tubes can be easily adapted to conventional luminaires fitted with magnetic or electronic ballasts, without any major changes to the wiring. - Suitable for existing installations
Whether your installation has an electronic ballast (without starter) or a magnetic ballast, there’s always a suitable LED solution, even for areas that are difficult to access or have high lighting requirements. - Simple replacement
No rewiring required: installation is plug & play, quick and safe, with an LED starter supplied. - Instant lighting
Light is 100% available as soon as it is switched on, even at low temperatures, making them ideal for cold rooms, workshops or car parks. - Exceptional life
With up to 70,000 hours of use, LED tubes considerably reduce the need for maintenance and frequent replacement.
Replacing your fluorescent tubes with LED tubes: complete guide and expert advice
Replacing fluorescent tubes with LED tubes is not only simple, it’s essential. The majority of fluorescent tubes are due to disappear from the market, and there are now LED solutions available for almost every type of luminaire still in use. So now is the ideal time to modernise your installation and reduce your energy consumption over the long term.
In many cases, conversion is very quick: simply replace the conventional starter with a fuse starter (often supplied with the LED tube) and check that the ballast is compatible. However, not all fluorescent tubes work with a starter. Some devices use electronic ignition, while others require rewiring to work properly with LEDs.
It’s not always a good idea to simply replace the tubes if your luminaires are very old or in poor condition. Expert advice can often help you decide whether it’s better to replace the tubes, rewire the installation or simply opt for a new, more efficient luminaire.
In some cases, it is even advisable to remove the ballast and supply the LED tube directly with 230 V to achieve optimum light output and avoid the energy losses associated with older technologies.
As there is now a wide variety of LED tubes to suit almost any configuration, we can advise you on the best solution for your installation: simple replacement, rewiring, removal of the ballast or complete modernisation.
