The difference between led tube and ordinary fluorescent tube
Led tube is a kind of high-efficiency and energy-saving lamps. Ordinary tube is also called fluorescent tube or fluorescent tube. Our Shenzhen Benwei Lighting compares it from different angles and found that the difference between LED tubes and ordinary tubes is quite big. If you don't believe me, you can continue to look down, we will give you a detailed explanation.
1. The difference from the time of birth
Ordinary lamps are born earlier than LED lamps. Even if it has been used for years, it has made a relatively large contribution to human lighting. However, the LED tube is a rising star with many advantages and has begun to be widely used, and has produced good economic and social benefits.
2. The difference in appearance
The difference in appearance is too great. Good quality LED tubes are mostly made of aluminum-plastic tubes, which looks like a tall product with a strong sense of metal. However, the ordinary lamp tube is a low-end product. After all, its outer shell is a glass tube, which is light and easy to break, and it is not high-end.
3. The difference between led tube and ordinary tube-working principle difference
Led tube is an environmentally friendly light source produced by semiconductor light source. The led lamp beads are densely arranged, using AC to DC driving power to drive the diode to emit light, the light source is stable, and there is no flicker. The requirements on the power grid are not high.
Ordinary lamps are just the opposite. Relying on the bombardment of phosphors to emit light, it needs to be equipped with a dedicated ballast to work. The light CRI is low and there is a sense of flicker. You can test it with the camera function of your mobile phone, it's very obvious.
4. The difference between led tube and ordinary tube-structure difference
The structure of the led tube consists of three parts, the shell, the light board, and the power supply. The three parts are generally made by specialized manufacturers.
The shell has three materials: aluminum-plastic, plastic and glass.
The light board is composed of aluminum substrate + led lamp beads; glass fiber board + led lamp beads
The power supply is built into the lamp tube, no other circuits are needed. It will light up when it is energized.
The structure of an ordinary lamp tube is very simple. A glass tube has a set of light-emitting filaments at each end of the lamp tube. In order to ensure the service life, some inert gas will be filled inside. To protect the filament and prolong its service life. At the same time, auxiliary circuits are required. Inductive ballast + starter; electronic ballast. The peripheral circuit is complicated. More chances of failure
5. The difference between led tube and ordinary tube-life difference
Led tubes have a long life span, reaching tens of thousands of hours, which is several times that of ordinary tubes. The reason is that the LED tube light source has a long life span. As long as there is no problem with the power supply, he can always work. Ordinary lamps have a short life span of only a few thousand hours, and they cannot be used after the filament turns black. Inductive ballasts and starters are easy to break and often need to be replaced and repaired.
Energy saving effect difference
6. The difference between led tube and ordinary tube-the difference between recycling and environmental protection
The led tube can be recycled and can be used continuously after repair. Aluminum lampshades can also be recycled for other purposes, that is, recycled. Ordinary lamps contain harmful substances, so anyone can't just throw them away as garbage. Must be put into the designated point, so as not to damage the environment and pollute the environment.
The difference in price
The price of led tube is several times that of ordinary tube. However, compared with ordinary lamps, the energy saving of LED lamps reaches 60-70%. The saved electricity bill is enough to buy multiple LED tubes. The longer it takes, the more electricity will be saved. It is a profitable business.

7. Differences in installation methods
The installation method of led tube is simple, as long as there is a T8 empty bracket or T5 empty bracket, and the specified voltage is connected, the T8 led tube or T5 led tube can work. Moreover, the voltage range is wide and the application range is wide.
Ordinary lamps need to be installed with auxiliary circuits, ballasts, and starters before they can be used. There are high requirements for the voltage, and the voltage is too low to work.
8. The difference between led tube and ordinary tube-brightness difference,
The luminous efficiency of the led tube is generally high, it can almost achieve 80-90lm/w, better than 100lm/w, Shenzhen Benwei Lighting can even achieve 140-180lm/w. Ordinary lamps, phosphors have low luminous efficiency, generally only 50-60lm/w, a little better, even branded lamps and Philips lighting only have 80lm/w.
By comparison, you will find that the difference between led tube and ordinary tube is quite unexpected. The fundamental difference is that the LED tube has obvious energy-saving effects and long life. It is a trending product. Ordinary lamps have a high failure rate, low efficiency and energy consumption, which is an obsolete product.
