Average reading time: 5 minutes

The world is constantly evolving, and lighting technology is no exception. The advent of next-generation LED tubes marks a new era in lighting, offering not only modernization of traditional fluorescent tubes but also creative solutions for energy efficiency.

The Asalite webshop provides a detailed insight into these advanced LED tube models. »» Did you know? The performance and wiring of the new glass-covered LED tube models are identical to earlier LED sources, but they come at a much more affordable price!

Below are a few standout factors to consider when choosing a T8 LED tube:

1. Energy Efficiency in LED Tubes

One of the most prominent advantages of LED tube models is their energy efficiency. Compared to traditional fluorescent tubes, LED versions consume significantly less energy, which not only saves money in the long run but also provides an environmentally friendly solution for both residential and commercial use.

In terms of energy efficiency, LED tube models rated "D or F" offer immediate energy savings as eco-friendly products.

Did you know?
Another benefit of LED tube models is their lack of heat generation, which not only increases comfort but also contributes to the efficiency of air conditioning systems. Additionally, LED technology allows for adjustable brightness, giving users the flexibility to set the lighting level to their needs.

2. Long Lifespan: One of the Major Benefits of T8 LED Tubes

The LED tube models offered by Asalite boast an exceptionally long lifespan. Compared to traditional tubes, these modern solutions can last up to ten times longer, reducing the need for recycling and waste production. Our T8 LED tube models can operate for up to 25,000 to 30,000 working hours, with a manufacturer’s warranty of 2-5 years.

4. Flicker-Free LED Tubes

Asalite’s premium-quality LED tube models, thanks to SMD LED technology, provide flicker-free lighting and instantly illuminate at full brightness when switched on.

Another advantage of installing T8 LED tubes is that they do not hum during operation, making office work more comfortable. For public administration institutions, reliable, long-term operation is especially important. The quality of T8 LED tube operation is not affected by the number of on/off cycles, resulting in low maintenance requirements after installation.

5. Cost-Effective Transition to T8 LED Tubes

Switching to LED tube models is easy to accomplish and can be a cost-effective investment in the long run when installed by a professional. The reduced energy consumption and long lifespan will start to show cost savings from the first few months.

6. Where Do We Recommend T8 LED Tube Models?

Our T8 LED tube models are perfectly suited for homes or industrial facilities, such as offices, hospital clinics, and workshop lighting. We recommend the 60 cm, 120 cm, and 150 cm LED tubes for illuminating warehouses, conference rooms, public institutions, schools, halls, and even garages!

LED Tubes in Urban Environments

LED tube models provide an energy-efficient lighting solution for indoor spaces in shopping centers as well.

LED Tubes in 120 cm and 60 cm: Flexible Lighting Solutions

The LED tube models available in Asalite’s selection come in three sizes to meet diverse lighting needs. The 150 cm and 120 cm versions are ideal for larger areas, while the 60 cm tube offers an efficient solution for smaller spaces, such as offices or smaller rooms, in both the residential and commercial sectors.

LED Tubes with 3 Color Temperatures—and Even Increased Brightness?

Our products are available in three different color temperatures, and we also offer premium high-brightness models in all three lengths (60-120-150 cm). The luminous flux values of our T8 LED tube models range from 900 lumens to 3080 lumens.

Did you know?
Asalite offers T8 LED tube models with three power capacities: 9W, 18W, and 22W.

What You Should Know When Installing T8 LED Tubes:

LED tubes operate at 230V, so when installing them, the ballast from traditional tubes must be removed. It's important to note that since LED tubes have a single-sided power supply, the other side’s connectors are only for secure attachment and are not electrically connected! For LED tubes in 120 cm and other sizes, installation should only be carried out by a professional.

Retrofit fixtures do not contain grounding, so any adjustments or replacements must be handled with care! One pin on the LED tube is neutral, and the other is live.

Do You Still Need Dust- and Moisture-Proof Fixtures for Your T8 LED Tube Models?

In our webshop, you will find premium IP65-rated dust- and moisture-proof fixtures to meet any requirement. Our LED fixtures boast a high IP65 rating for dust and water resistance. The first digit “6” indicates protection against dust and solid particles, while the second digit “5” indicates resistance to water. These fixtures are protected even against splashing water.

In our range of LED fixtures, you’ll find models suitable for 2x60 cm, 2x120 cm, and 2x150 cm LED tubes. Since they are also recommended for daily use, we confidently suggest these fixtures for office buildings, warehouses, conference rooms, public institutions, schools, and any space where the lighting system is exposed to excessive contamination, such as auto repair shops and carpentry workshops. Our LED fixture models come with all the necessary mounting clips and locks.
