In the first part, we will introduce you to the benefits of using this source of lighting and our offer in this area. What are the main advantages of LED fluorescent lamps? • Up to 66% savings in electricity consumption compared to traditional fluorescent lamps along the entire perimeter, • Longer service life, • Less heat emission, • They emit healthier light (no pulsation and UV waves), • They do not contain mercury, thus posing no risk for the environment and health, • They do not emit noise, so working with them is not tiring, • Immediate start, • They do not require starters or ballasts, thanks to which electricity consumption is even lower. Dig. 1. LED tubes based on SMD 3528 LED diodes. Each single LED obtains a luminous flux of about 7.5 lm when supplied with the current recommended by the LED manufacturer - 20mA. In addition to choosing the color of light, you can also choose the type of lampshade (from the left in the photo): milky, grooved, transparent. Dig. 2. LED lamps based on LED SMD 3014 diodes are characterized by an even higher luminous flux - 13 lm / one LED with the power supply of 30mA recommended for this type of LED. An additional advantage of SMD 3014 LEDs is much more efficient heat dissipation. Why is it worth choosing LED Labs fluorescent lamps? The LED lamps of Polish production we offer are built on LEDs in SMD technology (Surface Mount Device), which are characterized by greater efficiency and durability compared to the older type of DIP LEDs. The LEDs used in them come from some of the best producers in the world (including EDISON Opto), thanks to which they are characterized by a high flux of light while maintaining optimal working conditions for each of the LEDs. In fluorescent lamps based on LED SMD 3528 diodes we obtain a luminous flux of about 7.5lm / diode with a safe 20mA current supply, while in fluorescent lamps based on SMD 3014 LED diodes we get up to 13lm / diode with an optimal supply current of 30mA for this type of LED. Such measurement results are far behind most competing fluorescent lamps, whose luminous flux usually does not exceed 5lm / for a single LED. It also happens that the LEDs are current distorted in order to obtain a greater luminous flux, which dramatically shortens their lifetime. The big advantage of the fluorescent lamps we offer is the responsibly designed power supply and heat dissipation system. These are the key parameters that determine the lifetime of LEDs. All fluorescent lamps are available in several variants. You can choose the color of the light: warm white (3200K), neutral (4500K), cold white (6000K) and the diffuser: milky, grooved and transparent. The exact parameters of LED Labs fluorescent lamps can be found in the catalog cards available on our website www.led-labs.pl in the LED fluorescent lamps category. Dig. 1. Diagram of connecting the LED fluorescent lamp. Below is a list of steps from the next stages of replacing traditional 60cm 18W linear fluorescent lamps with 60cm 8W 120 LED 3528 SMD T8 LED lamps and modernization of the installation in the existing luminaire. It is worth noting that the savings resulting from the replacement of traditional fluorescent lamps with LED lamps are greater than the difference between their wattages would indicate. This is because when mounting LED fluorescent lamps we remove the ballast from the luminaires. Therefore, considering the entire circuit, the savings in electricity consumption can be up to 66%. WARNING! Before starting work, switch off the power supply. Step 1. The already mentioned elements should be removed from the existing luminaire, that is: starters, chokes and capacitors. These elements can be excluded from the circuit or completely removed from the luminaire (Figs. 1 and 2). Dig. 2. Removal of starters from the luminaire, which are unnecessary for LED fluorescent lamps. Dig. 3. Removal of the gland causing additional electricity consumption. Step 2. After removing the above elements, you can start preparing the installation for LED fluorescent lamps according to the diagram in Fig. 1. Before that, however, it is worth cleaning the luminaire, thus increasing its light reflectance. According to the diagram, to the sockets where the LED lamp will be mounted, connect: the phase (L) to the socket on one side, the neutral wire (N) to the socket on the opposite side (Fig. 4). Step 3. The sockets prepared in this way should be connected in parallel to the power source. For this purpose, you can use typical electric cube or balance connectors (fig. 5). Dig. 4. Prepared sockets: on the right side of the socket with phase (L), on the left side of the socket with the neutral wire (N) Fig. 5. Connecting the sockets to the 230V electric network by means of a wago connector. Step 4. After such prepared installation, the last step is to install LED fluorescent lamps. It does not matter which end of the fluorescent lamp to which socket we connect. We do it any way we want. Dig. 6. The end result of replacing T8 fluorescent lamps with LED T8 8W 120 LED SMD 3528 lamps with a color temperature of 4500K (neutral) at our company headquarters.
