T8 crystal LED tubes: high brightness and flicker-free for direct fluorescent replacement
T8 glass LED tubes achieve 170 lm/W efficiency performance, the highest value in this format. The G13 universal dual-pin connection cap fits any standard fitting and allows direct ballast bypass connection installation without works. They are high-quality lighting solutions to replace LED lamps of other formats or conventional fluorescents in indoor installations.
Fluorescent vs LED equivalence table
| Length | LED Wattage | Fluorescent equivalent | Luminous flux |
|---|---|---|---|
| 60 cm | 10 W | 18 W | 1700 lm |
| 120 cm | 20 W | 36 W | 3400 lm |
| 150 cm | 25 W | 58 W | 4250 lm |
The luminous flux of 1700 3400 4250 lm covers all standard replacement needs. The standard 60 120 150 cm length corresponds to the three most widely installed fluorescent sizes in Spain.
Why choose a glass T8 LED tube over a plastic one
Greater durability and light transmission
The borosilicate glass cover break resistance is more durable than plastic, which yellows over time and reduces emitted light. The glass maintains stable light transmission throughout the entire 50000 hour useful life t8. The high-brightness t8 LED tube 170 lm/w outperforms tubes with polycarbonate diffusers by between 20% and 30%. Colour rendering CRI exceeds the value 80, with 4000K 6500K colour temperature available depending on the space.
Safety in working environments
The no flicker g13 t8 LED tube features flicker-free certification certified flicker, which eliminates visual fatigue during long shifts. The indoor ip20 t8 LED tube meets the protection rating for use in dry indoor environments. The absence of mercury makes them safer than conventional fluorescent lamps in the event of breakage.
Available lengths and their equivalences
60cm 10W equivalent to an 18W fluorescent
The 60cm 10w glass LED tube produces 1700 lm with only 10W. It replaces the conventional 18W fluorescent with over 40% less power consumption.
120cm 20W equivalent to a 36W fluorescent
The 120cm glass t8 LED tube price is the best-selling reference in offices and distribution centres. The 20w 3400lm t8 LED tube covers large surfaces with uniform light. Available in 120cm neutral white glass LED tube at 4000K.
150cm 25W equivalent to a 58W fluorescent
The 150cm 25w t8 LED tube produces 4250 lm with 25W. It outperforms any fluorescent T8 tube of the same length in terms of lumens per watt.
Direct installation with ballast bypass
The direct installation t8 LED tube requires removing the electronic ballasts and connecting the mains line directly to the G13 lamp holders. The supply voltage is 220–240V with standard alternating current. Energy consumption is reduced to the tube's rated wattage, with no losses from auxiliary equipment. The ballast bypass glass LED tube is compatible with the most common fittings on the market.
Packs of 10 units for projects and installations
The pack of 10 glass t8 LED tubes is the standard format for installers and maintenance managers. The 10-unit wholesale price pack reduces the unit cost and guarantees colour and flux uniformity throughout the installation. For projects exceeding 50 units, contact us by email for a special volume price.
Most common applications
The office warehouse t8 LED tube is the reference solution for spaces where people work under artificial light for many hours. The LED lamp in T8 tube format directly replaces fluorescents with a G13 universal connection cap without changing the fitting. The cold 6500k warehouse t8 LED tube provides greater visual contrast in spaces without natural light. Compared to incandescent bulbs and fluorescent lamps with electronic ballasts, energy consumption savings exceed 60%.
The t8 LED tube for weatherproof luminaire in this range is compatible with IP65 fittings. For installations in damp areas, see the weatherproof luminaire category. To complete the assembly, visit the tube accessories section.
Frequently asked questions about T8 LED tubes
Which T8 LED tube replaces a 36W fluorescent?
The 120cm 20W tube is the direct replacement for the 36W fluorescent. It produces 3400 lm with less than half the consumption of equivalent fluorescent LED lamps.
How do I install a T8 LED tube without a ballast?
The electronic ballasts must be removed and the mains connected directly to the G13 lamp holders. This is the direct ballast bypass installation method. It must be carried out by a qualified electrician.
What is the difference between a glass and a plastic LED tube?
The glass vs plastic LED tube difference lies in the borosilicate glass. It maintains emitted light without flux loss over time and offers greater long-term mechanical resistance.
Are T8 LED tubes compatible with IP65 weatherproof luminaires?
Yes. The t8 LED tube for weatherproof luminaire in this range fits the most common IP65 weatherproof fittings. Check the lamp holder diameter before installing.
How much do I save by switching from fluorescents to T8 LED tubes?
A 36W fluorescent is replaced by a 20W tube. In an installation of 50 tubes switched on for 10 hours a day, the annual saving exceeds 2,900 kWh.
