The fluorescent tube replacement by LED luminaires is limited by the output power of traditional fluorescent tube fixture, which is incompatible with LED tubes. The replacement of lamps has to be rewired to bypass the ballast. Therefore the penetration rate of LED tubes has been much lower than that of LED bulbs for many years. For newcomers, how to avoid the existing patents of compatible technologies is the biggest difficulty. According to LED professionals, in hybrid LED T8/T5 lamp power management technology, there are numbers of patented traps. It is also a ...

New LED ballasted tube lighting fixtures with external drivers from LG Electronics are among the first to meet the U.S. Department of Energy's stringent new external power supply standards that took effect this year, LG Electronics USA announced.

The medium power LED has risen up in lighting applications, international enterprises are looking for Taiwanese manufacturers with advantages in medium power products as cooperation partners, previously there was news that Epistar and Everlight received OEM orders from international manufacturers. It is reported that Lextar also receives orders for its LED Tube from European and American manufacturers. The medium power has begun to infiltrate LED street lights, and the penetration rate will increase next year. It is understood that Lextar's OEM orders from E...

Recently, Philips announced that it has developed an energy-efficient LED Tube suitable for basic lighting. Prototype of this LED tube has been produced, it can produce 200lm / w high quality white light (luminous efficacy of fluorescent is 100lm / w, while the luminous efficacy of traditional bulb is only 15lm / w); while the energy consumption of this new tube is only equivalent to half of the energy consumption of the similar LED products in current market. This innovation of Philips is expected to significantly reduce energy consumption and energy usage costs around the...

LED 8ft tube Aeon Lighting Technology (ALT) of Taipei, Taiwan has debuted a new generation of LED 8ft tube that it says is the brightest and most effective lighting solution. The company notes that conventional fluorescent tubes suffer from low luminous efficacy and limited wattage usage. ALT says that this is due to inefficient power design and unfavorable heat dissipation, traditional T8 fluorescent tubes can’t be as efficient or have a life span that is as long as expected. Alt asserts that its new LED Tube offers better energy efficiency, higher qualit...

With the increase of global environmental consciousness and high cost of industrial and household electricity, more consumers begin to implement energy-saving concept on their daily life and the retrofit of LED lighting lamps is the easiest and best way to achieve both industrial and household energy conservation! Aeon Lighting Technology (ALT) is about to launch the new generation of LED 8ft 46W tube that is the brightest and most effectiveness solution in the world. The low luminous efficacy and limited wattage usage are all because of the inefficient power design and unf...

This product is a substitute product (fluorescent tube replacement design). The lowest cost, reduce special regulation design direction of product integration, LED lighting product design to the traditional fluorescent tubes Specifications in connection seat, power driver, lamp type and dimensions are traditional lamp program as a prerequisite for the light source integration, the LED lamps can directly replace traditional lamps continue to use the traditional lamp design, new green light converted to significantly depress consumer may invest switching costs. And a large number o...

FZLED, maker of high-performance LED lighting products, adds a new model today to their line of T8 LED Tube Lights – FZL-T8-07. The new model uses SMD LED, 6 to 22 watt, high-performance LED light source series products in one feet (30cm), two feet (60cm), and 4 feet (120cm) long. FZL-T8-07 is a direct replacement for traditional T8 tubes with an AC voltage range of 100-240V. It can be easily installed in any space without lighting fixture, is designed for commercial and residential lighting, in application of several advertising lighting, ceiling p...

Earlier this week, news emerged from the US that researchers have developed a new type of lighting that could replace fluorescent bulbs. The new source is reportedly more efficient, produces a better quality of light and is flicker free. Whilst the concept of light from polymers is certainly intriguing, I was somewhat taken aback by the attention the story received. After all, we already have viable alternatives for the fluorescent tube that does all of the above. So why are we under the impression that we don’t? To understand the context we need to look back. The UK ...

Chinese LED company Elec-Tech International Co., Ltd. has announced the release that its LED streetlight and LED T8 tube have passed TIS test from Thailand and received the authentication certificate (TIS certificate number: 1955-2511). The TIS test is similar to CQC /CCC authentication in China, and all the LED products exported to Thailand should obtain this certificate firstly.   Therefore, the TIS certificate will have a positive effect on Elec-Tech International‘s LED lighting sales in Thailand....
