Today, LEDs are the number one way to illuminate your home or business premises, and there’s almost nothing they can’t do. More energy efficient and longer lasting than the alternatives, LED replacement tubes are a simple and fuss-free way of bringing bright light to wherever it’s needed, from garages and outbuildings to workshops and construction sites.

LED Fluorescent Tubes

Modern LED tube lights come in two standard types, known as T8 and T5. The former is often used to light larger spaces and is installed as a standalone bulb, while the T5 tubes are slightly narrower but can be joined together to form one long strip of lighting. That’s why they’re sometimes known as LED tube strip lights. Whichever bulb type you need, all the products in this range start from a minimum A+ energy rating and last for as long as 30,000 hours on average.

Replacing Fluorescent Tubes with LEDs

Switching from traditional fluorescent tubes to LED replacements is one of the simplest ways to reduce energy costs and maintenance. LED tubes fit into most existing fluorescent fittings, though some may require a starter replacement or bypass of the ballast. Check the product specifications to confirm whether the tube is compatible with your current fitting type before purchasing.

Benefits of LED Tube Lights

LED tube lights offer several advantages over traditional fluorescent tubes:
- Up to 50% reduction in energy consumption compared to fluorescent equivalents
- Average lifespan of 30,000+ hours, significantly reducing replacement frequency
- Instant full brightness with no warm-up time or flickering
- Mercury-free construction for safer disposal and a lower environmental impact
- Available in cool white, daylight and warm white colour temperatures
