Different ways to replace T5 LED tubes with T5 fluorescent tubes
T5 LED tube is a kind of LED fluorescent tube, which occupies half of the entire LED tube. However, due to its relatively thin tube, it is generally not easy to replace. The following introduces, there are about four replacement methods according to different situations.
Four ways to replace T5 LED tubes with T5 fluorescent tubes
The first type: split T5led tube, also called single tube T5 led tube, such as 1.2 meters, length is 1149, 1.5 meters actual length is 1449mm, 0.6 meters actual length is 549, plug is G5.3, and divided into two Kind. An external power supply, the lamp itself is polarized, if you add components, you can also do it regardless of polarity, the power supply is placed in the bracket, the bracket needs to be modified. A built-in power supply, the power supply is designed on top of the aluminum substrate, and the power supply is characterized by narrow voltage. Generally between 200-230v, it can also meet the requirements.
The second : T5 integrated led tube, which combines the tube and the bracket into one. When installing, you only need to fix the metal buckle. The advantage is that the tube bracket is saved, and the power supply can be built-in and installed. Extremely simple and flexible installation location. Generally new installation can be considered.
The third: T8 to T5 LED fluorescent lamp. Simply put, T8 body, T5 plug, power supply can also be built-in, the advantage is that the aluminum material is increased, the heat dissipation is better, the light-emitting angle is increased, and the power supply is built-in. Achieve direct replacement of T5 fluorescent lamps.
The fourth type: external power supply type, you can directly use a 16mm diameter T5 aluminum-plastic tube, which is directly connected to the external power supply to promote the LED tube to work and emit light. Note that this kind of lamp has polarity. If you find that the lamp does not light up, you only need to reverse the two ends of the lamp to change the polarity, and the lamp will light up.
There are four ways to replace T5 LED tubes with T5 fluorescent tubes. They should be replaced according to the actual situation. Generally, it is better to replace with split or T8 to T5 LED tubes. For new installations, generally use integrated T5led fluorescent tubes. This installation method is flexible and sticks. It can be installed or hoisted, and it is also economical in terms of cost.
Advantages and disadvantages of T5 LED tube
1. T5 LED fluorescent lamps do not use mercury and do not contain lead. Traditional fluorescent lamps contain a large amount of mercury vapor. Once such lamps are broken, the mercury vapor will volatilize into the atmosphere and pollute the environment. LED fluorescent lamps can be very effective. Good environmental protection is one of the recognized green light sources.
2. the T5 LED fluorescent lamp is a cold light source, which does not emit a large amount of heat like traditional lamps. It can basically convert all electrical energy into light energy without causing energy waste, which is very economical.
3. T5 LED fluorescent lamp is a very quiet energy-saving lamp, which does not generate noise like traditional fluorescent lamps, and is very suitable for quiet environments, such as libraries, offices and the like. It can also protect the eyes very well, start up very quickly, and will not flicker, which is very beneficial to our health.
4. Because the T5 LED fluorescent lamp is a green and environmentally friendly lamp, it does not produce ultraviolet light, infrared light and other radiation, does not contain harmful substances such as mercury, and generates less heat, which well avoids the situation of mosquitoes surrounding the lamp source. In this way, a relatively clean environment is created for the interior.
5. The T5LED fluorescent lamp has a long service life. Its power consumption is less than one-third of the traditional fluorescent lamp, but the brightness is the same as that of the traditional fluorescent lamp. Generally speaking, the life of normal use is more than 30,000 hours, and long-term use does not need to be replaced, which invisibly reduces labor costs, which is very suitable for some occasions where it is inconvenient to replace the lamps. Of course, the colors of LED fluorescent tubes are very rich, and lights of various luminous colors can be made to meet the needs of different occasions.
