​Ten reasons why LED tube lights are favored

Ten reasons why LED tube lights are favored


Recently, LED tubes have become one of the first LED lights to enter indoors because of its many advantages over tube lights.

1. High luminous efficiency:

The luminous efficiency of tube lights is about 55-80 lm/W, while the luminous efficiency of LEDs is above 100 lm/W. The luminous efficiency of our Benwei Lighting Company has reached 170 lm/W, and will continue to improve in the future.

2. High efficiency of lights: The efficiency of lights mainly refers to the effective light efficiency, because tube lights emit light in 360 degrees, and the light emitted in the opposite direction is useless. Therefore, tube lights usually use a white lightshade, which can reflect a considerable part of the back light. Generally speaking, the efficiency of tube lights is only about 70%. The LED tube is 120 degrees of light, so all the light is effective light. Although sometimes I feel that the 120-degree beam angle is a little narrower, it is still enough in most cases. And this light-emitting angle can also be adjusted according to needs.

And the luminous efficiency of LED is still increasing year by year.

3. High power efficiency

Because all lights except incandescent lights need a special power supply, the efficiency of the power supply also affects the efficiency of the entire light.

Take the factory-made LED lights of new light source lighting as an example, 6w LED lights can replace 10w tube lights; 10w LED lights can replace 18w tube lights; 18w LED lights can replace 36w tube lights; 26w LED lights can replace 58w tube lights.

Compared with tube lights, it can save more than half of the electricity, that is to say, using an 18-watt LED tube can replace a 36-watt tube light.

Not only that, but LED tubes have many other advantages:

4. Long lifespan: The lifespan of a carefully designed LED tube can reach 50,000 hours. The life of a tube light is usually only 5,000 hours (some domestic tube lights have a lifespan of only 300 hours). The difference between the two is nearly 10 times. The best long-life tube lights are only 10,000 hours, and the difference between the two is five times.

5. No mercury, no pollution. We know that tube lights contain mercury. 36mm tube lights contain 25-45mg of mercury and 26mm (T8) contains 20mg of mercury. tube lights use fragile glass as the shell. Once the glass is broken, the mercury in it will immediately evaporate into the air, which can instantly make the mercury concentration in the surrounding air reach 10-20 mg/m3, exceeding the national regulations. 1000-2000 times. Mercury is a toxic substance that is very harmful to the human body. When the amount of mercury vapor reaches 0.04 to 3 mg, it will cause chronic poisoning within 2 to 3 months. When it reaches 1.2 to 8.5 mg, it will induce acute mercury poisoning. If the amount reaches 20 mg, will directly lead to animal death. And 1mg of mercury is enough to contaminate 5,454.5 kg of drinking water, making it unsatisfactory for drinking. The LED tube does not contain any toxic substances, is a completely green and pollution-free light source.

6. The color temperature range is wide, almost any color temperature can be provided, and it can also provide red, green, blue and even any color of light.

7. High color rendering index, the color rendering index of incandescent light is 95, the color rendering index of tube light is 65-80, and the LED tube can be >80.

8. No UV radiation.

9. Protect your eyes. Traditional tube lights use alternating current, so 100-120 stroboscopic flashes occur per second. The LED tube works with LED constant current, which directly converts the alternating current into direct current, which effectively reduces the LED light decay, starts quickly, has no flicker, and protects the eyes.

10. The LED light with an external isolated power supply cannot touch the high voltage of the mains at both ends of the light, and only has a safe DC voltage lower than 36V. There is no danger of electric shock, and it is a completely safe light.
