Elementary Knowledge of LED Light Tubes

Introduction of LED Light Tube

LED tubes are also commonly known as fluorescent tubes, they uses fluorescent tube light source LED as luminous body. Traditional fluorescent tube lights are also known as fluorescent lamps. There is a filament at each end of lamp, the tubes are filled with traces of argon and thin mercury vapor, the tube wall is coated with phosphor emits ultraviolet light, when the gas conductivity between the two filament the phosphor emit visible light. Due to the presence of heavy metal pollutants mercury, the scrapped fluorescent tube is a very serious environmental pollution. The LED light tubes use light-emitting diodes as a light source, they are light-efficient, more energy-efficient, long service life, and more environmentally friendly. So it has become the best led light bulbs products at the present stage instead of fluorescent tubes.

LED Tube Lighting Features

The installation of LED lamp is very simple. When installation, you just need to remove the original fluorescent and put LED lamp and remove the ballast and starter, let the 220V AC mains directly add to both ends of the LED lamp, and that will be OK. The LED tube lamp can save up more than 70% energy, and its service life is more than 10 times of the ordinary lamp tube. So it is virtually maintenance free, there are no problems as lamp replacement and frequently changes the ballast. You can get back your cost in the half-year saving energy. In addition, LED tuble light is green-type semiconductor electric light with soft light, pure color, eyesight protection and the health of people favor.

Brief Introduction of T5 LED Tube

The t5 led tubes are fluorescent lamps, its diameter is 5/8 inch, the diameter of the T5 lamp is about 16 mm, and it belongs to the kind of the low-pressure gas discharge lamp. It uses an electric field to activate the mercury vapor in argon-neon gas mixture to form a plasma discharge and issued shortwave ultraviolet phosphor to emit visible tube light. Since T5 fluorescent tubes have the characteristics of advanced technical performance, energy-saving, high luminous efficiency, lighting quality, and the effect of outstanding technical, it is a much faster alternative to T8 fluorescent tubes. According to technology quality, T5 light can be divided into: T5 fluorescent tubes and T5 energy-saving lamps. According to the whole lamp production, it can be divided into: T5 fluorescent lamps and T5 energy-saving lamps. There are greater differences in the technical performance of the luminous efficiency, energy-saving rate, lighting quality and effect and service life. The technical quality of T5 energy-saving lamps is significantly better than the T5 fluorescent lamps.
