Unlike gas burning and arc type lamps that have glass bulbs, LEDs have no filaments or fragile housings to break during operation. Instead of
heating a small filament or using a combination of gases to produce light, light emitting diodes (LEDs) use semi-conductive materials that
illuminate when electric current applied and emitting light. With LED lights, there is no warm up time or cool down time before re-striking and
provide instant illumination when powered on, adding to the reliability of LED technology. By nature, LED light sources run significantly cooler
than traditional lamps, reducing the chance of accidental burns and increased temperatures due to heat emissions. This solid state design of
light emitting diodes provides a more reliable, stable, durable, and energy efficient light source over traditional lighting.
The LEDT8-28W-V1-DLC-5000K features specially designed rotating end caps. Fluorescent lamps provide a full 360° beam coverage around
the lamp. Since most fluorescent fixtures require directional lighting, reflectors have to be used to bounce the light back towards the intended
target area for illumination. LED lamps are directional, which eliminates the need for back mounted reflectors and reduces wasted and lost light.
However, the tombstones for existing fixtures may position the face of the LED lamp in a direction facing away from the target illumination area.
With the rotating pins, operators can reposition the lamp so the face of the LED tube is positioned properly within existing fixtures. This also
allows for fine tune adjustment of each individual lamp within fixtures containing multiple lamps.
These are the second generation of our 28 watt LED tubes. Efficiency for this LED lamp is 107.14 lumens per watt, for a total of 3,000 lumens
per bulb. We offer a choice of clear, frosted, or heavy frosted lenses. The LEDT8 series of LED lamps are designed for direct replacement of 4ft
fluorescent fixtures with G13 bases for replacing four foot T8, T8 high output, T12, T12 high output, and T12 very high output florescent lamps.
Additionally, these lamps can be used in fixtures that currently use a G5 to G13 adapter socket using T5 lamps. Please note, this tube is 47" in
length and will not fit properly in fixtures designed to accept 45" T5 lamps without adapters.
These LED fluorescent tube replacements can be used as upgrades or replacements to our own explosion proof fluorescent lights, explosion
proof paint spray booth lights as well as any other T series light fixture the operator already has in house. We have specially designed these for
our explosion proof light fixtures, however, they can be used as replacements in standard fluorescent light fixtures. In our facilities, we replaced
worn or spent fluorescent bulbs with these LED bulbs by removing the ballasts and bringing the white wire to one end and the black wire to the
other end of the LED tube.
