LED Tube Bundles
LED tube lighting is commonly used in warehouses, commercial spaces, and barns. The lighting is suitable for both residential and commercial use. The types of tube lights are available in various lengths. With LED tube lights, you save up to 85% on your energy costs compared to traditional fluorescent lighting. Furthermore, LED tubes contain no toxic substances, making the LED tube light environmentally friendly. In addition, the lifespan is longer (30,000 – 50,000 burning hours). As a result, the LED tube light does not need to be replaced frequently. LedLoket offers up to a 5-year warranty on the tube lighting. This allows you to enjoy worry-free use of the LED lighting from LedLoket. You generally earn back an LED tube light within 2 years. You can also come to us for matching LED tube fixtures .
Which LED fluorescent tube do I need?
LedLoket cannot determine for you which LED fluorescent tube you need. This depends on your specific requirements and preferences for an LED fluorescent tube. Of course, we can advise you to help you make the right choice. The following points are important when purchasing an LED fluorescent tube:
- What length do you need? Fluorescent tubes are available in 60cm, 90cm, 105cm, 120cm, and 150cm. If you are also purchasing new LED fluorescent fixtures, you can choose between these sizes. LedLoket recommends an 18W – 120cm fluorescent tube for low ceilings. For high ceilings, we recommend a 22W-24W 150cm fluorescent tube. The other sizes are installed less frequently and are often used for special purposes.
- What diameter LED fluorescent tube do you need? The most common diameters for a fluorescent tube are T8 (26mm) and T5 (16mm). Please check carefully which one you need.
- LED fluorescent tubes are available in three light colors. At LedLoket we have divided the light colors into: 3000K (warm white), 4000K (natural white) and 6000K (daylight white). For more information, check out: "Color temperature (Kelvin) and light color"
- What light output do you desire? Light output is expressed in lumens per watt. The higher the number of lumens per watt, the greater the light intensity of an LED fluorescent tube.
How do I install a fluorescent tube?
By means of an LED starter, an LED fluorescent tube is very easy to install within your current fluorescent fixture.See the step-by-step plan below:
- Unscrew the old starter from the fixture
- Unscrew the old fluorescent tube from the fixture
- Insert the new LED starter
- Install the new LED fluorescent tube
- Turn the power back on
The step-by-step plan above indicates how to install an LED fluorescent tube in an "old" fixture. However, we do not recommend installing LED fluorescent tubes in "old" fixtures if you are installing multiple LED fluorescent tubes (8 or more). This is because "old" fixtures contain a ballast (electromagnetic ballast) and starter. A disadvantage of this is that it can drastically reduce the lifespan of an LED fluorescent tube. There is an even greater disadvantage/danger. The power supply in an "old" fixture remains the same. Power consumption decreases due to the energy savings of the LED fluorescent tube. As a result, the voltage in the wiring increases.When a large number of "old" fixtures are connected in series this way, the voltage can become too high. The danger of this is that the wires can melt and cause a fire. Ledloket 's advice is therefore to convert "old fixtures" or install new LED fluorescent fixtures.
