Residential buildings, shopping centers, office buildings and facilities, public transportation - anywhere lighting used linear fluorescent lamps. The range and scope of the fluorescent lamps are so diverse that about 70% of the total coverage of Russia falls on fluorescent lamps. And imagine the illumination of billboards, bridges, architectural lighting without fluorescent lamp is impossible.
In fluorescent lamps are many advantages - low cost, wide range, but there are also quite a few shortcomings. Fluorescent lamps are gas (neon, argon, krypton, mercury compounds) that are safe for human health and environmental situation in general. These bulbs after the end of life must be disposed of, which adds to the cost of the lamp about 100% of its original price. In this regard, very few consumers properly recycle fluorescent lamps - we can see the dead lamps in garbage cans, containers, and just on the streets. And it already has a great danger to wildlife, poison groundwater.
Another drawback of the fluorescent lamps are used in fixtures bound starters and ballasts(chokes), which leads to increased consumption of electricity.
Fortunately, progress is not on the spot! And already developed and available on the market fluorescent lamps based on LED lampor. LED lampa - is a reliable electronic device that is not toxic, and almost no heat. Fluorescent lamp based on LED socket T8 (G13) is identical to conventional fluorescent lamp. The service life of 13 times the lifetime of a fluorescent lamp (about 50,000 hours of continuous burning.)
LED fluorescent tube (lamp) does not require the use of starters and ballasts. They can incorporate directly into the outlet. Besides the advantages already described above, the LED is one more thing - vandal-proof lamps are made of durable plastic. They can be used in children's room without the fear that the child will break a lamp and get hurt.
Another reason to use LED bulbs instead of fluorescent - is widely known about the fluctuations of fluorescent lamps (easier on the eyes of man). Just chokes, especially electromagnetic, strong buzz sometimes that interferes with work or focus in the learning process. From all this free LED light bulbs - they give a smooth and pleasing to the eyes of the emission spectrum.
Installation of LED fluorescent lamp socket T8 (G13). The process of replacing fluorescent bulbs with energy saving LED lampa is extremely simple. You simply turn off the lights in the starter and the ballast, connect the wires directly to it - the LED lampa, energy-efficient, quiet and environmentally friendly light source is ready.
Important information for installation of LED fluorescent lamps
Ballast must be removed
The starter should also be removed
If the lamp was a capacitor, it also must be disabled
Perform the installation must know the people (if you're not confident in their
skills in electrical engineering)
Good reasons to install LED fluorescent tubes:
LED tubes consume much less energy. LED tube length of 60 cm consumes only 9 watts, 120 cm of 18W, 150 cm long with 19 Tues.
LED lamps give a smooth, flicker-free light output, and Hood (due to the lack of throttle)
LED lamps light up at once at full capacity (as opposed to a fluorescent lamp or other lamps)
Service life of LED lamps is 10-20 times longer than fluorescent or halogen.
When installing the LED bulbs do not require additional equipment (choke, the starter)
LED lampor do not give harmful UV rays.
LED lampor do not require special disposal.
When buying LED lampa light bulbs, you are making a major contribution to energy saving and environmental security of the country.
