LED knowledge: Advantages of LED tube light
LED tube is the newest product line in the tube family and is considered to be the final replacement for traditional fluorescent tube. It is made up of white LED chip modules. Provided with the advantages of long life-span, radiation-free, energy saving, environmental friendly, LED tube is superior to other kinds of lamps.
Besides, the installation of LED tube is quite easy. Just to replace the original fluorescent tube with the new LED one, and to take away the starter. What is more, the electricity saving efficiency can reach as high as 50% compared to ordinary fluorescent tube and the life span is more than 10 times than that of ordinary one, almost totally free of maintenance. LED tube is adaptive to be used in offices, factories, marketplaces, schools and houses and so on indoor spaces.
The following passages are going to sum up the advantages of LED tube.
1. Environmental friendly
Traditional fluorescent tube contains large amount of mercury vapor which will do harm to the environment if the tube is broken up and the vapor volatilize into the atmosphere. On the contrary, LED tube does not contain mercury or lead, doing no harm to the environment. So, LED products are recognized to be the green lighting in the 21st century.
2. Low heat
Compared to traditional lamps which will generate a large amount of heat, LED tubes can directly make electric energy into light energy, causing less heat and no waste of the energy.
3. Noise-free
LED tubes will not produce any noise, enabling it to be a good choice for illumination application in high precision electrical instrument. It is also fit to be used in occasions like libraries, offices and so on.
4. Soft light beams and strob flash-free
Traditional fluorescent tube uses alternating current, which will generate 100-120 times of strob flash per second. As to LED tube, it can directly switch the alternating current into direct current, without causing any flickering, helpful to protect the eyes.
5. Free of ultraviolet radiation
Traditional tubes will generate ultraviolet radiation, thus will attract mosquitoes to fly around the tubes. LED tube does not have this disadvantage, thus the indoor space will become cleaner.
6. Wide-range of adjustable voltage
Traditional fluorescent tube should recur to rectifier to release high voltage to get brighten up. If the voltage fell, the tube will went out. However, LED tubes can be lighted within a certain voltage range (85V-265V) and its brightness can be adjusted.
7. Energy-saving, long life-span and low cost
The power consumption for LED tubes is lower than 1/3 of the traditional tubes consumption, and the life span for it is 10 times longer than that of traditional one. So there is no need to change the tube for a long period of time, reducing the manpower and other costs.
8. Rigid and safe
LED tube light body is made by aluminum instead of glasses like other traditional tubes. So it is more rigid and safe. Even if falling to the floor, LED lamp will not be broken easily. Users c
