It is the tube light that utilizes the most advanced LEDs technology to replace the traditional fluorescent tube light.

There are T5, T8 and T10 LED tubes light, and T8 is the most popular one.

Compared to fluorescent tube lights, the most important advantages of LED tube lights are energy efficiency and long life.

1:Energy Savings Up to 67%
Our Reapway 18W 130LM/W LED T8 VS Conventional Philips 1.2M 36W fluorescent T8,

eg 80pcs Reapway 18W LED T8 for a shopping mall project:

 

1: Save 25,235 kWh electricity and 67% electricity a year, save electricity cost $2,523 and total savings is over $3000 a year.   

 

2: Improve 3 times lifespan.     

2: Much Longer life
The average life of a fluorescent tube is 5,000hs, while a LED tube will last 50,000hs and 10 times longer life than fluorescent tube.

 

3: Higher Light Efficiency
LED tube light can cut costs down drastically with its efficiency. eg, our Reapway newest 18W LED T8 tube
outputs 3240lm and reach 180lm/w ! That is 100% higher than fluorescent tube that is only 90lm/w.

 

4: Higher Color Rendering (CRI)
CRI is very important because it directly affects how well people see and how they discern color. The right LED tube lighting with higher CRI can help improve focus, productivity, and overall health and wellness.

5:Rigid and safe
LED tube light body is made by epoxy resin instead of glasses for the traditional fluorescent lamps. So it is
more rigid and safe.

 

 

6:Wider colour temperatures

LED tube light can be made with different colour temperatures as below:

 

3000K – warm white.
4000K – natural, good for office or other areas of work.
5000K – pure white, good for large spaces.
6000K – cool white.

Chapter 3: LED Tube Light Types
By working theory: Ballast Compatible and Ballast Bypass

 

 

Ballast Compatible: Very easy Plug-and-Play Installation, which work with the existing fluorescent fixture ballast in place.

 

Ballast Bypass: Lower cost but requires bypassing / removing ballast from light fixture.

Chapter 4: LED Tube Light Applications
Typical applications of LED tube lights include public premises, industrial production premises, warehouses,

parking garage and stores.

 

 

High bay fixture tube light
High bay fixture tube light is an outstanding solution for high mounting height industrial or retail applications.

The HB optic has been optimized to provide maximum performance from T8 LED tubes. Optional uplight component

is provided to enable excellent ceiling uniformity.

IP65 LED Batten tube waterproof light fixture
It is ideal for parking garages, industrial freezers, livestock and other harsh&wet environment lighting applications.

This vaportight high bay fixture was designed for demanding applications involving dust, dirt, vapor, smoke,

high levels of humidity, and risk of corrosion.

LED long tube light strip fixture
The LED long tube light surface mounted batten fixture in either single or twin tubes designed for ease

of installation and maintenance. The bare batten design provides maximum light output and well-suited

to supply general lighting to garages, warehouses, basements, and car parks.

Recessed ceiling light fixtures
2’x2’ and 2’x4’ recessed grille lighting is the ideal solution for renovating existing fluorescent troffer and

parabolic systems delivering improved quality of light and refreshing the space. High efficacy light

engines deliver long life and excellent color, ensuring a superior quality lighting installation that is

highly efficient and sustainable.

Chapter 5: Useful Tips for Buying LED Tube Light

Based on your requirements, here are 6 things you need to consider for choosing the right LED tube light.

 

 

1.Energy Efficiency of LED Tubes
Minimizing your lighting expenses starts with using energy-efficient LED tubes. On average, the best LED tubes

have energy efficiencies ranging from 100 to 200lm/w and can cut your energy consumption by almost 80%.

 

 

2.Durability of LED Tubes
The longer the lifespan, the greater the money saving, unlike fluorescents, LED tubes can last up to 50,000hs

or roughly over 11 years (if used for 12hs a day). Little or no replacement costs for long time.

 

 

3.Luminous Flux of LED Tubes
The higher the luminous flux, the brighter the lighting. Having a bright light benefits you in reducing the

need for more light fixtures and making it easy to work in or use the space being lit.

 

 

4.Safety and Certifications of LED Tubes
The best way to check a light is safe or not is looking out for certifications, authorities like CE, RoHS, ErP, SAA,

and TUV certifications standard for safety.

 

 

5.Convenience of LED Tubes
Convenience can be defined in:Being flicker-free, Instant switching, Being free of shadows and blind spots.

 

 

6.Price of LED Tubes
The tubes come with different price tags. Therefore, it’s up to you to find a luminary that’s affordable

and at the same time fulfills your lighting needs. Obviously, LED tubes cost way more than

fluorescent tubes.

 

But If you look at it in the long-run, you’ll realize that LED tubes are more cost-effective

than fluorescents by a very large margin.
