LED Tubes – Embark on a Lighting Retrofit

Lighting technology has improved over the years. Since the time light was invented to the latest LED lighting technology, lighting has greatly evolved. Up until recently, the mainstay lighting solution for any office or commercial building has been the fluorescent tube. Millions upon millions of these inefficient lamps have been installed worldwide. They consume large amounts of energy within the lamp, and also within the starter/ballast circuit. They contain toxic chemicals such as mercury and phosphors. And they have poor lifespans, lasting just a few thousand hours before beginning to flicker and fail. Sometimes they take a while to light up when switched on. In summary, they are a disappointing lighting technology that has been superceded by a far superior technology – the LED Tubes.

Led Tubes

Most quality LED tubes have rated lives that are far longer than fluorescent tubes,  up to 50,000 hours (L70); long enough to fit and forget, and reduce your maintenance bills. LED tubes consume less than half the energy of fluorescent tubes, which combined with their durability leads to good cost of ownership savings. T8 LED tubes come in all the same lengths that fluorescent tubes do, which makes for a quick and easy retrofit. The Philips MasterLED tube range comes with a 5 year warranty, which guarantees you will make significant cash savings over the lifetime of the tube.  Novel Energy Lighting sells a range of quality LED tubes and tube fittings. Some fittings are IP65 rated for outdoor installation and with vandal resistance casings.

One of the LED Tube fittingss sold by Novel Energy Lighting is the Philips LED WT120C Coreline Waterproof line, which is an IP65 rated solid-state LED tubed fitting. This comes in colour temperature of 4000K, and produces 90 to 120lm/W and is maintenance free. It has a sleek design and can be easily installed. It is a perfect retrofit for car parks, warehouses, cold storage rooms, and other locations that require waterproof, vandal resistant lighting.

Candles are perfect accent lights and they create mood. However, due to the fire risk of candle, people tend to use candle lamps instead. Candle lamps are generally used in chandeliers or wall sconces to create elegant ambience and make a statement.. Candle flames produce a very warm white light, which is often not emulated well by candle lamps, which is why it is important to select the right lamps. Quality LED candles can deliver the warmth required. Philips MasterLED range of candles has been specially developed for chandeliers, to enhance the decorative and aesthetic appeal of luminaires – whether they are switched on or off. The new DiamondSpark lamps incorporate an evolutionary new shaped lens that allows the optics to radiate brilliant, clear and sparkling warm white LED light. The improved light quality provides consistent colour from every angle – even when dimmed in the most intimate of ambiences. What’s more, the new ivory lamp colour is the perfect match for existing luminaires. Add to that the classic slender shape and these DiamondSpark LED candles ensure the whole luminaire has breathtaking brilliance.  Novel Energy Lighting specialises in supplying Philips LED candles, and also offers a range of alternative lamps from other manufacturers, with a continual focus on quality.

Assessing the Quality of a LED Panel Light

LED panels are a key element of office lighting; they are also responsible for a good proportion of the office electricity bill. It is important to select a panel that delivers a good lumens output per watt. Anything over 85lm/W is excellent, and such a panel light would be a good choice for the open spaces in the office. Quality LED panels offer natural energy conservation, and don’t require much of a consideration. They also allow offices to significantly reduce carbon emissions through reduction in electricity consumption. Facilities management divisions therefore tend to buy these lights to contribute in saving the environment. LED Panels offer efficient, quality, and a balanced even light output.

While checking the quality and lumens/watt of LED panels is important, it is also good to consider other parameters in the office, such as glare, brightness, average luminance, luminance uniformity, vertical uniformity, power density and other indicators throughout the office premises. LED panels have attributes such as colour temperature, colour rendering index, brightness, rated life, voltage, beam angle, and input power. According to a comprehensive analysis or lumens per watt, about 50 – 80lm/W light efficiency is displayed by all optical LEDs. However, mainstream levels of 70 – 90lm / W have been able to meet the requirement of every level of luminance.

The design standards, lighting, maintenance factors, power density and other indicators show the value of mainstream panels of LED lighting in comparison to fluorescent lamps and tubes which they replace. These panels have an output equivalence of more than 100-watts of fluorescent tubes, thus, saving over 50% energy.

While testing light emitting efficiency of these LEDs, light failurex may be due to poor quality brightness index, colour temperature, and other lighting barriers. However, as technology matures and panels are more widely used, these problems gradually reduce. LED panels are the perfect solution for energy efficiency.. Focus on energy-saving lighting should be on a high priority while considering current projects.
