T8 LED Tube Benefits
However, there’s more to T8 LEDs than what’s in the above specs, so what else do they have to offer?
- Mercury Free – Environmentally friendly and require no recycling fees.
- Directional Lighting – Most have 180 degree direction, which results in less lost light as compared to the fluorescent’s 360 degrees.
- Dimmable – Many fluorescents are expensive to dim and do so poorly. LED’s on the other hand have excellent dimming capability.
- Controls- Flourescent lamps do burn out faster the more times they are turned on and off (occupancy sensors). LED lamps on the other hand can be turned on/off as many times as you would like without affecting the life.
