Description
Master T8 LED Light TubeWhat is a T8 LED
tube?
A brief definition of a T8 LED tube is an indoor light tube. The
‘T’ means tubular and the digit 8 describes the diameter of the
tube. So you may notice there are T4, T5, T8, T*2 etc. The
difference is basically the tube diameters, and among the tube
available the most common is the T8 and the T9.
LED tube lighting is becoming widely available around the world as
the performance keeps on improving. And in recent years it has been
extremely competitive with fluorescent lamps for a number of
reasons. These includes the value for money, performance, efficacy
(light/lumen per watt output), and lifespan. The lifespan of the
Photonics T8 tube is *0,**0 hours, but when we state this period,
it doesn’t mean that the tube will stop working after this amount
of time, but the lumen output will not perform at the guaranteed
level after the stated length of time. The may even function up to
*0.**0 or even **0,**0 hours, but the lumen output mostly likely
will not be what it was at *0.**0 or *0,**0 hours.
Photonics T8 tubes are a simple and effective product, simple in
that it is easy to install and effective as it will perform above
the minimum standard and requirements of ‘Energy Star’.
This is an energy saving solution that will fit into an existing
linear fixture and provide considerable light levels compared to
fluorescent tubes as well as LED tubes of a similar standard.
One of the main reasons why a lot of people are changing, or
considering changing to LED technology, is mainly due to the
performance and materials used to develop the tubes. Also because
of the nature of LED as a natural source for light, the technology
is able to produce **0% light output without the risk of mercury or
lead, making it an ideal alternative or solution to everybody. LED
products naturally have the best performance in cooler
temperatures, so ideal situations where this product can be applied
are commercial fridges/coolers, maybe in a supermarket or
restaurant for example. Other examples where the T8 tubes can be
applied can be for specific usage as well general, examples are
could include parking garages, hospitals, multi storey buildings
like finance houses, supermarkets, and universities among many more
examples.
An example of why Finance Houses have changed or should change to
LED technology is the most noticeable reason of all, which is the
high energy savings and low maintenance costs. From the point of
view of a profit making organisation, they would look towards
reducing the running costs of the organisation, and a lot of people
may be surprised to learn how these kinds of organisations have
saved by simply switching to LED.
