 Since the first light bulb was invented in the 1800’s new lamp technology has constantly evolved. When the fluorescent tube was invented in 1929, sales of traditional light bulbs plummeted, and then in the 1970’s along came the compact fluorescent. Since then as new variations have evolved, sales of the former types have virtually disappeared, but the fundamental lamp design has remained unchanged; using a heating element to ignite gases and produce light. However, the use of a heating element results in energy being wasted as heat as opposed to generating light.
Now the time has come for all of these light sources to be confined to history as the evolution of White LED’s has enabled Neo Neon LED Lighting International Ltd, to produce their latest innovation, an LED replacement for fluorescent tubes that gives the same appearance and light output as a fluorescent tube.
Designed for retrofitting into existing T8 Fluorescent fittings, the Neo-Neon T8 LED Tube range enables operators to save up to 50% on energy costs by simply changing the tube of their existing fitting. For wire wound ballasts, you need simply remove the starter and simple wiring modifications are all that are needed to the fitting of some electronic ballasts.
As LED’s do not rely on the use of a heating element and energy is not wasted, the T8 LED tubes from Neo-Neon offer a high luminous efficiency in excess of 70 Lumens per watt.
The 600mm T8 LED tube draws just 12 watts compared to the typical 21 watts drawn by a fluorescent tube of the same size. The 1200mm version draws only 18 watts compared to the 42 watts of the equivalent size fluorescent tube.
We all know that it's important to save energy, for the sake of costs and the environment, and by simply changing the tubes in existing fittings the new T8 LED tubes from Neo Neon can cut nearly 50% off the energy consumption of a typical office lighting installation.
Unlike fluorescent lamps, the T8 LED Tubes from Neo Neon provide 100% light output within milliseconds of switching on the power, making them perfect for connection to a PIR sensor and therefore saving even more energy.
Combine these massive energy saving characteristics with the operational life of over 50,000 hours, which will virtually eliminate maintenance costs, the new T8 LED Tubes from Neo Neon will save you money from the day of installation and for years to come. 50,000 hours can be the equivalent of over 11 years lifetime even if used for 12 hours a day, 365 days a year!
The LED Tubes from Neo Neon should not be confused with the low quality, poor light output versions offered by several other companies. Using finer quality SMD LEDs rather than round-head or DIP LEDs, they offer higher lumen levels and are much more efficient at heat dissipation.
Available in Cool White, Warm White and Pure White colours these replacement tube lights are suitable for multiple applications including Offices, Shops, Bars, Factories, Workshops and Residential locations. They contain no heavy metals and emit no UV radiation.
