LED Tube Lights

Replacing Fluorescent Lights With LED Tube Lights

Whether they’re used in large scale applications such as hospitals and schools or in your office or home, fluorescent lights are a drain on your resources.  You may not realize it, but fluorescent lighting causes more than just a strain on your finances and a huge power bill.  By replacing your fluorescent lights with LED tube lights, you could rack up a considerable amount of savings in power, energy use and improved productivity.  How is all this possible just by changing a light bulb?

One of the first differences you may notice between fluorescent lights and LED lights are the differences in wattage and size.  A typical three tube fluorescent light fixture uses 32 watts per light, while LED bulbs of the same size and light output (lumens) use only 15 watts per light, giving you an energy savings of over 50%.  Now consider how much you’d stand to save in funds by replacing all of your fluorescent lights with LED tube lights and you’ll see how the costs go down while the money and energy savings continue to climb.

What’s more, LED technology has improved to the point where virtually any color of the rainbow is now available with LED tube lights to create your own ambient atmosphere.  Whether you choose a warm, comforting tone or a cool, modern glow will depend on your unique style and preferences, but given how light and color can affect our mood, isn’t it nice to know that you have so many choices available?

But did you know that beyond the clear, energy efficient practical application that LED tube lights have over conventional lighting, there are also potential health benefits for switching to LED bulbs?  Not only is it good for the environment, but LED lights are good for you too.  Because they don’t create the harsh glare and hotspots that incandescent lights and fluorescent lights can cause, they give off much more ample light without creating a high amount of heat or reflective annoyances.

LED lights also don’t contain any moving parts, no ballasts, no starters and burn at a much lower temperature than traditional lights.  They also contain no mercury, lead or other dangerous chemicals or metals. The end result is that you get clean, clear, “greener” light without the added cost and the constant need for maintenance and replacing burnt out bulbs.  Isn’t it nice to know that just by replacing your traditional fluorescent lights with more eco friendly LED tube lights, you’re taking a smart step for the environment, your health and your wallet?

And if you need yet another reason why LED lights are a smart investment, consider the fact that they use 90% of their energy to put off light, while converting only 10% of that energy into heat.  Vibrations and shocks don’t disrupt them the way they do a halogen light, and they won’t flicker or burn out like incandescent or fluorescents.  Start putting your energy to good use today by making the switch to LED tube lights!
