Choose LED Tubes and Save the Environment

Most people are unaware of the negative effects of traditional fluorescent tubes and bulbs for lighting. Fluorescent bulbs emit a decent amount of light but almost 20% of the input energy used by them is converted into heat.  This is wasteful, and with the ever increasing price of energy, hikes up your electricity bill. Moreover, fluorescent tubes and bulbs have a short lifespan since they use high voltage as startup (as much as 300 volts), which affects durability. In order to start a fluorescent tube the mercury atoms need to be ionized before the arc can ’strike’. It is very common to see fluorescent tubes flickering at their end of life.

What’s more, fluorescent lighting is not environmentally safe, since lamps and tubes it contain mercury and phosphor to produce light, these chemicals are toxic, and get released into the atmosphere when the lamps are disposed of, making them harmful to the environment.

This makes for a compelling argument to switch to a more economical and environmentally viable lighting source. Philips T8 LED Tubes supplied by Novel Energy Lighting can provide you with consistent lighting for a long period of time. These LED Tubes have wattages varying from 8W to 24W for 2ft through 5ft length tubes, to match the output of fluorescent tubes. You will see energy savings of 60% with LED tubes, and more if you exclude ballast, switchgear, and starter from the circuit..LED Tube Lights are very durable. The MasterLED range offer a rated lifetime of 40,000hours (L70) even if used continually. The value Corepro range offer a rated lifetime of 30,000hrs (L70). Our other top manufacturers offer LED tubes with similar long rated lifetimes, and high quality light output to match or exceed their fluorescent counterparts.

And unlike fluorescent lamps, T8 LED Tubes will not flicker or cause short circuits as they are capable of using power efficiently. They are designed such that they can be retrofitted into existing electromagnetic or high frequency fixtures, making lighting upgrade a quick and simple process. Some tubes even come with rotating end-caps which make them easier to install. Philips Master LED T8 Tubes come with a 5 year warranty, so you can have complete peace of mind once they are installed.
