In an enlightening customer story, Philips on its website shares the experience of State Bank of India, Agra Branch, which recently switched to LED lighting.
The bank was looking for a lighting solution that would decrease energy consumption and save costs while also creating a soothing ambiance. LED lighting provided the bank with an efficient, long lasting, ambient, high-output solution and consequent energy saving of 50 per cent.
LED lighting solutions come in various form factors, including bulbs, tubes and floodlights. Here we talk about LED tubes only. LED tubes were introduced in the market in the early 2000. Currently, the retrofit LED tubes market can be divided into three categories—Type A, Type B and Type C. Type A being the most popular of the lot, here we discuss their benefits and challenges.
Benefits of Type A LED tubes
Type A LED tubes replace the existing fluorescent tubes, keeping the ballast and fixture unchanged. Thus, the installation cost of LED tubes is nearly negligible. Other benefits of Type A retrofit LED tubes are mentioned below.
Slash electricity bill by 50 per cent. Type A LED tubes come with three of the most sought-after features that reduce expenses in the long run. These include high efficiency, long usable lifespan and less maintenance requirements.
LED tubes significantly cut down the energy consumption, and thus, your electricity bill. On an average, genuine-quality LED tube lights can help users to lower electricity consumption by 50-80 per cent compared to CFLs and incandescent. Unlike the 360-degree emission pattern of fluorescent tubes, Type A LED tubes emit light in a single direction, avoiding unwanted loss of energy. Lower energy wastage also implies lower power consumption. Therefore LED tubes consume less power than CFLs and incandescent light bulbs but deliver brighter output. The light efficiency of LED tube lights is represented in lumens per watt.
