How to choose the right LED tube?

Three criteria: base (diameter), tube length, color code
The transition from conventional to LED lighting is a wise choice for any professional application. In fact, it reduces energy consumption by at least 70%, as well as maintenance costs, while respecting the lighting standards in force - particularly as regards the lighting of indoor workplaces.

If it is easy to switch to lighting with LED tubes, some criteria are taken into account to choose the right tube for your situation, so follow the guide!
Bottom and diameter
The base corresponds to the end of the tube where two pins are visible. The tubes, most commonly used, come in 2 sizes:
·        T5 tube with a diameter of 16mm - G5 base - 5mm gap between the two contact pins.
·        T8 tube with a diameter of 26mm - G13 base - 13mm gap between the two contact pins.
Tube length
The most common tube lengths are:
·        T5: 115cm and 145cm.
·        T8: 59cm, 120cm and 150cm.
If for traditional fluorescent tubes, the length is related to the power, this is different for the LED tubes. Also, it is indicated on the LED tubes which "old power" these replace.
Table of correspondences
T5
T8

49W = 145cm tube
54W = 115cm
tube 80W = 145cm tube

18W = 60cm
tube 36W = 120cm
tube 58W = 150cm tube

For example, a 14-36W LED tube replaces a 36W TL tube. On our site Lampesdirect.fr, for more convenience, we indicate the power of replacement in the name of the products of the LED tubes.
Color code
The color of light on the LED tube is usually indicated by a color code. The most common color codes are:
·        827 = 2700 Kelvin - Very hot white.
·        830 = 3000 Kelvin - Warm white.
·        840 = 4000 Kelvin - Cool white.
·        865 = 6500 Kelvin - Daylight.

How to choose your LED bulb?

With the ban of incandescent bulbs, LED bulbs are more and more appreciated. The range of LED lamps, however, are very large and it is difficult to navigate! We will give you in this article our advice to choose your LED! What nerve? If you have a screw base, you have the choice between the base E14 (diameter 14mm) or E27 (diameter 27mm). These lamps are powered by 230V, that is to say, they are installed directly on the sector. If you have a base with 2 pins, choose the GU10 in the 230V power supply, or the GU5.3 or G4 in very low voltage (12V). If you have a bayonet lamp, choose the B22. What power? The power of the indicated LEDs is expressed in the number of watts consumed, followed by the halogen equivalence, so that the luminous rendering can be compared. For example, a LED of 7-35W means that it will consume 7W but will replace a halogen of 35W for the same quality of lighting. The electricity consumption is divided by 5 for the same light output. What color tem...

Which LED lighting for the home?

Inside The most important aspect of lighting is making things visible. But the brightness, the color of the light and the design of the luminaries also influence the atmosphere of the room. Lighting plays an important role in the interior design because through the light conditions created, the structures and furniture of the rooms are taken into account. In order to create a pleasant atmosphere, a combination of several LED lights, bulbs and LED spotlights is often required. Depending on the lens, you must always make the difference between basic lighting, lighting area, and accent lighting. In some places, such as stairs and corridors, a bright light is also essential for safety in everyday life. Outside When it comes to outdoor lighting, safety is an important factor. The latter is often limited in many cases to the lighting of the entrance, the terrace, and the garden. LED luminaires must be protected against the weather and any external aggression. In fact, these lu...
