What is the difference between LED tubes and fluorescent tubes?

This article compares and describes the luminous efficacy, power, electricity consumption, lifespan and size of fluorescent lamps and LED tube, so that you can know the difference between fluorescent lamps and LED tube. Fluorescent lamps are the second generation of light sources after incandescent lamps. Ordinary fluorescent lamps and trichromatic fluorescent lamps have always been the mainstream light sources for lighting fixtures before the appearance of LED tube. More electricity and short lifespan, each specification has a corresponding LED light replacement, and the size can be completely matched. One of the differences between fluorescent lamps and LED tube: LED tube with finished light efficiency are 3-5 times that of fluorescent lamps. The theoretical luminous efficiency of ordinary fluorescent lamps is 72lm/W, and the luminous efficiency of finished lamps is 33lm/W; the theoretical luminous efficiency of tri-color T5 fluorescent lamps is 95lm/W, and the luminous efficiency of finished lamps is 40-45lm/W; About 80-100lm/W for ordinary products in the finished product market, and 140-150lm/W for higher ones. The second difference between fluorescent lamps and LED tube: LED tube save about 75% of electricity than fluorescent lamps. Replacing ordinary 36W-40W fluorescent lamps and 28W tri-color fluorescent lamps, the mainstream ordinary LED tube can be 16-18W, saving about 50% of electricity; it must be replaced by 9W LED tube, saving about 75% of electricity; fluorescent lamps and LED tube The third difference: LED tube have a lifespan of about 4-5 times longer than fluorescent lamps. Except for garbage LED tube, fluorescent lamps usually have an ideal lifespan of 8,000 hours. Up to 5-8 years, the life of the LED tube is about 5 times that of the ordinary fluorescent lamp. (The current life of garbage led lights on the market is about three months to half a year, not normal led lights, normal led life is about 40000-50000 hours)
