Why Switch Fluorescent Tubes to LED?

Energy Saving: LED technology is known for its incredible efficiency. By switching from traditional fluorescent tubes to LED, you can significantly reduce energy consumption, using up to 80-90% less energy.
Longer Lifespan: An LED light can last up to 50,000 hours. This means that if you use your light for an average of 8 hours per day, it can last for many years, reducing the need for frequent replacements.
Environmentally Friendly: LED lamps are a more sustainable choice. They do not contain mercury or other harmful substances and are fully recyclable, which minimizes their environmental impact. Versatility in Color Temperatures:
With LED, you can choose from a variety of color temperatures, from cool to warm light, allowing you to create the perfect ambiance depending on your style.

How to Replace Fluorescent Tubes with LED?

Switching from traditional fluorescent tubes to LED might seem complicated, but the process is actually quite simple and can be summarized in a few steps:

Identify the Type of Your Current Fluorescent Tube and Fixture: To ensure you choose the right LED alternative, it’s important to know what type of tube and fixture you currently have.

Purchase the Right LED Tubes: There are LED lights designed to fit into existing fluorescent fixtures. Make sure to choose the right size and shape based on your current installation.

Install the LED Tubes: In most cases, you can simply replace the old tube with the new LED light. For some types of fixtures, a simple rewiring or replacing the old ballast with an LED-compatible driver might be required.

Enjoy Your New LED Light: After installation, just turn on the power and enjoy the improved lighting while saving money and protecting the environment.

Phase-Out of Old Fluorescent Tubes

As of March 1, 2023, it is mandatory for all light sources to carry the new energy label. During the transition period, both light sources with the existing energy label and those with the new one will be available on the market.

According to calculations, the new lighting requirements are expected to lead to annual energy savings of approximately 42 terawatt-hours (TWh) within the EU by 2030. It’s important to note that these figures, based on a 2018 calculation, do not include the effects of phasing out T5 fluorescent tubes, meaning the actual savings could be even greater.

A significant change is the phasing out of fluorescent tubes containing mercury, including T5, T8 tubes, and compact fluorescent lamps, during 2023. These products are being phased out because they are not as energy-efficient as their LED counterparts. This process is expected to take about five years, after which mercury-containing fluorescent tubes will no longer be available on the market. This measure is a step towards more energy-efficient and environmentally friendly light sources.
