What is the difference between LED tube and ordinary fluorescent tube?
ordinary fluorescent tube are fluorescent tubes, and the light-emitting principle is different from that of LED tubes. Fluorescent tubes emit light when the ballast is energized to generate high voltage instantly, which excites the discharge between two pins inside the tube tube, and then excites the phosphor to emit light. This process produces high heat. LED light-emitting is the electron migration inside the semiconductor, which produces light, and the light-emitting process does not generate heat. This is why LEDs are called cold light sources. The LED tube has high luminous efficiency and high brightness. Now the best LED fluorescent tubes on the market have a light efficiency of more than 130, which is about twice that of fluorescent lights. That is to say, 18W LED fluorescent tubes can be used as 36W fluorescent tubes. From the actual lighting effect, 18W LED tube with 130lm/W can be used as 48W fluorescent tube. LED tubes have a long service life. The life of LED can reach more than 50,000 hours (excluding power supply), and the life of fluorescent tube (excluding power supply) is only 10,000-20,000 hours.
Features of LED fluorescent tube
1) Environmentally friendly tubes, protecting the earth Traditional fluorescent tubes contain a large amount of mercury vapor, which will volatilize into the atmosphere if broken. However, LED fluorescent tubes do not use mercury at all, and LED products do not contain lead, which protects the environment. LED fluorescent tubes are recognized as the green lighting of the twenty-first century.
2) Efficient conversion, reducing heat generation. Traditional tubes and lanterns will generate a lot of heat energy, while LED tubes and lanterns convert all electrical energy into light energy without wasting energy. Moreover, there will be no fading phenomenon for documents and clothes.
3), quiet and comfortable, no noise LED tubes will not produce noise, which is the best choice for the use of precision electronic instruments. Suitable for libraries, offices and other occasions.
4), soft light, eye protection The traditional fluorescent tube uses alternating current, so it will produce 100-120 strobes per second. LED tubes directly convert alternating current into direct current, without flickering and protecting eyes.
5), no ultraviolet, no mosquitoes LED tubes will not produce ultraviolet rays, so there will not be many mosquitoes around the light source like traditional tubes. The interior will become more clean and tidy.
6), voltage adjustable 80V-245V traditional fluorescent tubes are lit by the high voltage released by the rectifier, and cannot be lit when the voltage is reduced. The LED tubes can be lit within a certain range of voltage, and the brightness can be adjusted.
7), energy saving, longer life LED fluorescent tubes consume less than one third of the power consumption of traditional fluorescent tubes, and their lifespan is 10 times that of traditional fluorescent tubes. They can be used for a long time without replacement, reducing labor costs. It is more suitable for occasions that are difficult to replace.
8) Sturdy and reliable, long-term use. The LED tube body itself is made of epoxy resin instead of traditional glass, which is more sturdy and reliable. Even if it is hit on the floor, the LED will not be easily damaged, and it can be used with confidence.
