In a constant effort to improve the environment scientists and researchers continue to work on ways to make lighting both efficient and environmentally friendly. To that end LED tube lighting has begun to overtake the use of fluorescent bulbs in both offices and homes. The use of fluorescent bulbs became very popular over the course of several years because of their ability to provide magnified light at a relatively inexpensive cost. However, the lighting had many negative impacts on the environment and has proven to be more costly to most individuals and businesses that was expected.

LED lighting is available in all of the same tube sizes as traditional fluorescent lighting. Among the many benefits of switching out the fluorescents for LED is the fact that the process is relatively simple. The LED lights fit into the prongs of the Fluorescent bulb and drop-in replacement is very easy.

Many people exposed to fluorescent lighting for several hours a day suffer from headaches and other conditions caused by the color of light that is produced by these lamps. The lamps are normally on throughout the day and many stay lit through the night. This makes them less cost-effective than other alternatives for light. In addition, maintaining and replacing the florescent lights can be difficult because they must be disposed of as hazardous waste. Florescent contain mercury and gases that make them dangerous for humans.

The high efficiency of the LED consumes less than sixty percent of that used by an incandescent bulb. For the T8 and T12 tubes there is only 14-24 watts of energy used with a life span of from 50,000 to 100,000 hours. This makes them extremely efficient for office or home use. In addition, the tube has the same superior color as the fluorescent bulbs.

There is no ballast requirement for the LED tubes. They come with a plastic tube housing which eliminates the need for the ballast that is used with the regular tube lighting. The operating temperature of the LED is only 100 degrees as it does not get as hot as other bulbs that produce the same amount of light for the user.

The tubes are made using a long silicon substrate containing several LEDs. The LEDs are space out that the lighting is smooth and even across the two. This substrate is then encased in a glass tube which makes it ready to be installed. Since the tubes contain no chemicals or toxins they can be disclosed as regular waste.

When comparing the type of lighting that you want to use in your home or office, it is important to think about the long term impact of your investment. By eliminating those elements in your environment that are harmful and create toxic waste, you are increasing your ability to make a positive difference in your workplace and beyond.

Talking to an individual who has knowledge and expertise and the types of LED tube lighting available will be very helpful. This individual will be able to give you information and data about the benefits and advantages of switching from your florescent tube lighting to LED. The cost savings over the long term are significant when the LED tube lighting is used.
