All You Need To Know About LED Tubes

LED (Light Emitting Diode) is a semi conducting light source i.e. it emits light when a sufficient amount of electric current passes through it. Each diode is made up of a semi conducting material like silicon. The semi conducting material has a combination of electrons and holes. When an electric current passes through the diode, it emits energy, which may or may not be in the visible spectrum of light. This is called Electroluminescence. The colour of the light depends on the two following factors:

•   Amount of doping of P and N type semi-conductor:
•   Nature of materials used in making LEDs. For example, Gallium Phosphide.

A wide range of LED Light is available in the market like LED Bulb, LED Light, LED Strip Lamp, LED tube, etc. LED tubes are commonly used for commercial and domestic purposes. They are cylindrical in structure and are designed with pins to fix into pin compatible brackets. They are available in different sizes such as T8, T10, T12, where alphabet ‘T’ denotes ‘Tubular’ and the numeric is the tube diameter. LED tubes are replacing the conventional tubes. There are many characteristics of LED tubes that have proved to be more beneficial than other conventional tubes for domestic as well as commercial use.

Advantages Of LED Tubes:

•  LED tubes last twice as long as Fluorescent tubes.
•  They are more efficient in comparison with other tubes.
•  They do not heat up as much as fluorescent tubes.
•  They do not contain any hazardous substance like mercury.
•  Installing LED tubes mean less of carbon emissions.
•  LED tubes consume less energy.
•  LED tubes are more reliable & durable.

Uses Of LED Tubes:

•  Coloured LEDs are used as light source and indicators for photo detectors, cars, etc.
•  They are also used in televisions, computer screens, traffic signals, advertisement signs and boards, etc.
•  Infrared and ultraviolet LEDs are used in remote controls.
•  Infrared and ultraviolet LEDs are also used for transmitting invisible signals
