LED Tubes
LED tubes are the energy-efficient alternative to the beloved fluorescent tube. By using LED, you’ll enjoy the many advantages that the LED tube has over conventional fluorescent tubes. For example, the LED tube lasts an average of 5 times longer than a traditional fluorescent tube and consumes up to 60% less energy. This means it is a good investment for the future, which will quickly pay for itself! LED lighting is available in the most commonly used kinds like the T8 and T5 LED tube, but for example also the circular shaped T9 edition. Fluorescent tubes with conventional or electronic ballasts both have a replacing LED edition. Therefore, buy your LED tubes today! You can read more about them below in our FAQ section.
The most common lengths for T8 LED Tubes are 60cm, 90cm, 120cm and 150cm. For T5 LED Tubes this concerns 55cm, 85cm, 115cm and 145cm. Switching to LED? Then always check the length of your current fluorescent lighting. Do you want to know more? Then read our blog! 
The colour code is a combination of colour rendering (CRI) and light colour (Kelvin). The first number indicates the colour rendering (1 = very poor colour rendering, 9 = maximum colour fastness). The second and third number contains the light colour. Example: the colour code 830 consists of good colour rendering (8) and warm white light (3000K).
Our all-in warranty is fully included in the product price and covers both hidden defects and technical defects of the product that occurred before delivery. The warranty period differs per product and ranges from 1 year to a maximum of 5 years.
Every bulb or fixture has an energy efficiency class A to G. Energy label A is the most efficient and G the least. LED lighting is the most sustainable lighting technique. Even if a LED bulb is rated E or lower, they still save 70% of energy compared to conventional lighting with the same energy label. Why is it the same label then? To motivate LED brands to get even more durable.

What is an LED tube?
A LED tube is a sustainable fluorescent tube. This is because LED technology provides energy savings of at least 50% and contains no toxic gases such as mercury. Moreover, an LED tube lasts 2.5 times longer than a fluorescent tube. After all, the average lifespan is 50,000 hours.
Connecting LED tubes, how do I do it?
An LED tube is easy to mount in a fixture. Just slide the tube into the fixture and turn it a quarter turn. To check, you can gently pull on the light source to make sure the LED tube is firmly in place.
Do I have to convert my fixture when I switch to LED?
No, that is not necessary. Do ask yourself the question: 'What ballast does my fluorescent tube use?' Fluorescent tubes with a conventional ballast can be replaced by a LED tube with starter (LED starter is supplied) or operate directly on mains power. LED tubes without starter work with an electronic ballast or on mains. Unsure which ballast you have? UN LED tubes work with both.
Are LED tubes dimmable?
No, LED tubes are not dimmable. However, you can choose to replace a fluorescent fixture with a dimmable LED panel or a dimmable LED batten. These fixtures easily replace fixtures with fluorescent or LED tubes.
Which tube do I need? You compare a LED tube like this ...
You choose an LED tube based on the light colour (K) and light output (lm). Where 2700K and 3000K fit garages, shops and general areas, 4000K and 6500K are appropriate in work environments. 3300K is specifically for lighting food. Professional workplaces (ceiling of 2.5m) need at least 3000lm. LED tubes can illuminate up to 4m high.
What lengths / sizes are there?
The most common sizes for T8 LED tubes are 600 mm, 1200 mm and 1500 mm. Other lengths are 440 mm, 720 mm, 900 mm, 1000 mm and 1050 mm. T5 LED tubes generally have a length of 1150 mm or 1450 mm. Other sizes include 290 mm, 520 mm, 550 mm and 850 mm.
