Advantages of LED tubes
Fluorescent tubes are popular thanks to their wide range of applications. Because of their wide-area illumination, they're commonly used in offices, workshops, production facilities, and public or medical buildings. Residential applications also benefit from the brightness and flexibility of these robust lamps.
Compared to the classic fluorescent tube, the LED tube brings numerous additional advantages:
- High energy efficiency
- Flicker-free, quiet operation
- Long service life
- Instant full brightness
Replacing fluorescent tubes with LED
In 2023, the gradual phase-out of fluorescent lamps set out in the RoHS directive took effect. This means fluorescent tubes may no longer be manufactured. Placing already-produced tubes on the market is still permitted, but it's worth thinking about switching to efficient, sustainable LED technology.
Want to know which solution fits your application? Our light consulting for retrofitting explains exactly what matters when upgrading to LED, from the ballast to overall light planning.
Dimmable LED tubes
Some LED tubes are dimmable. Whether that applies to your tube is listed in the product description or technical specifications of the lamp.
Disposing of fluorescent tubes
Strict regulations apply when disposing of old fluorescent tubes. They contain pollutants like mercury and must never go in household waste. Some valuable components and precious metals can also be returned to the recycling loop.
LED tubes are also made from high-quality materials that can be recycled. Collection points and recycling centers accept your old lamps free of charge and take care of proper disposal. For the rules that apply to each lamp type, see our guide on how to dispose of fluorescent tubes.
