LED fluorescent tube and energy-saving fluorescent tube difference and purchase skills

The lamp, also known as the fluorescent tube, is produced with the birth of a fluorescent light source! So it is also called fluorescent tube, brighter than incandescent lamp, and has a variety of shapes, such as U-shaped, D-shaped, and the most common T8, T5 tube, home, office, factory, store, shopping mall, underground parking lot. , conference rooms, classrooms, etc. are all used.

The principle of illuminating the fluorescent lamp is to activate the mercury vapor in the tube by high pressure, so that the phosphor on the wall of the lamp emits visible light. Fluorescent tubes generally include brackets, electronic ballasts, lamp bodies, plugs, and the like. Although compared to incandescent lamps, fluorescent tubes bright, energy, longer life, but fluorescent tubes, there are fragile, heavy pollution, stroboscopic insufficient, so now gradually being replaced by this new type of LED light source lamp, LED lamp It is becoming mainstream.

1.1 About LED Tubes

LED tube is also called LED tube, LED tube, LED tube, which uses Led Light Source as the illuminator. LED is a kind of semiconductor that can convert electric energy into visible light. It is different from incandescent tungsten light and energy saving lamp. Powder glow, but using electric field illumination, directly converts electrical energy into light! Therefore, the light effect is higher and more energy-saving. In addition, there are advantages such as pure light color, adjustable brightness and color temperature, no red ultraviolet radiation, no mosquitoes, no pollution, no stroboscopic, long life, etc. The LED tube has the same appearance, size and interface as the traditional fluorescent tube, so it quickly replaces the fluorescent energy-saving lamp.

1.2 Specifications

The commonly used types of lamps are T5 and T8 tubes. The main difference between the two is that the diameter is different and the power is different. The diameter of the T5 tube is 16mm, the diameter of the T8 tube is 25.4mm, and the commonly used length is 0.3m. , 0.6m, 0.9m and 1.2m.

LED tube, in addition to the former split tube, because of the LED light source's own advantages, the lamp tube bracket integrated tube, such as T5, T8 integrated tube, even between the tube can be used The joints are seamlessly connected! This is unimaginable for fluorescent tubes!

In addition to these types, LED light tubes such as sound and light control, human body induction, and radar induction have been born, which are more widely used and have better development prospects.

1.3 Material Technology and Structure

As shown in the figure below, you can see the construction of the LED tube!

LED tube is mainly composed of seven departments, power supply, two-end interface, bracket, mask, fixed parts, LED light source and electric touch. Seven parts of the work and materials used determine the quality of the LED tube.

1.4 Installation

The installation of the LED tube is very simple, because it is consistent with the traditional fluorescent tube, the diameter and the interface. Therefore, the original fluorescent tube is removed during the installation, the LED tube is replaced, and the ballast and the starter are removed. 220V AC mains can be directly added to the ends of the LED tube.

If the bracket lamp is integrated, connect the cable directly! The light pipe and the lamp tube can be connected by connecting pieces to form a light band! Even more gratifying is that there is now a lamp that can be connected without a dark area!

1.5 Application place

Lamps are used in a wide range of applications, such as:

Residential, office, conference room, office building, factory, etc.

Public buildings and places such as hospitals, schools, classrooms, libraries, government agencies, etc.

Commercial lighting venues, such as service halls, shopping malls, supermarkets, restaurants, bars, hotels, clubs, exhibition halls, etc.

Waiting room, underground garage, subway, station, etc.

Gas station, chemical plant, granary and other dangerous spaces (explosion-proof type)

1.6 About light color

LED, a significant advantage, is the ability to achieve a wide range of light colors! LED tubes can also have white, warm white, natural white and other light colors, or calm and refreshing, or white and elegant, or comfortable and warm.
