LED tube accessories expand the possibilities of any T8 tube installation. In this category you will find colour filters and mounting accessories for specific use in retail shops, hospitality and food premises. Choose the right accessory according to your tube type, length and the visual effect you need.
What LED tube accessories are for
A complementary tube accessory is not an optional extra in every case. In food shops or hospitality premises, the filter or fixing accessory is part of the lighting system. From day one.
LED lighting with T8 tubes replaces the conventional fluorescent light source with a far longer useful life. The traditional fluorescent tube has an average useful life of 8,000 to 10,000 hours. T8 LED tubes reach between 25,000 and 50,000 hours under normal conditions of use, which reduces maintenance costs in continuous installations.
Pink filter for butchers and food presentation
The butcher LED tube filter is the most sought-after accessory in this category. The special butcher LED tube filter consists of a polycarbonate filter. It is placed over the T8 tube and modifies the filter colour spectral transmission to enhance the visual effect of fresh meat colour.
The LED fluorescent tube colour filter acts on the perceived filter colour temperature without dimming the light. The result is pinkish-red tones that enhance the products displayed on the counter. The specific use butcher food is the most common. Although the meat food LED tube filter is also used in delicatessens and fresh product retail outlets.
The white balance of the base tube determines the final result of the filter. A tube with a colour temperature between 4,000 K and 6,500 K gives a better response with the pink filter than one at 2,700 K.

Accessories for installation in existing fittings
The LED tube installation accessories include clip and bracket systems designed to fit the luminaire or fitting already installed. Thus guaranteeing the safety of the assembly without the need to modify the existing wiring. Compatibility with existing luminaire fitting is the detail you must check before purchasing.
The most common T8 LED tube installation accessory is the filter clip fixing installation, which allows the filter to be secured to the tube without tools. It is the fastest option for retail establishments working with older installations that do not want any building work.
Compatibility with standard T8 tube lengths
The filters and accessories in this category are available for the three most common formats. The standard length 60 120 150 cm covers virtually all active T8 tube installations in Spain.
| Tube length | Compatible format | Common use |
|---|---|---|
| 60 cm | T8 600 mm | Small counters, under-shelf |
| 120 cm | T8 1200 mm | Refrigerated cabinets, supermarket shelving |
| 150 cm | T8 1500 mm | Large retail areas, industrial installations |
The pink LED filter 60cm 120cm is the best seller in medium-sized butchers. The 150 cm format is used more in large retail areas with longer shelving runs.
How to install a filter on a T8 LED tube
Installation is straightforward and does not require an electrician. The decorative LED tube filter is placed over the T8 tube already mounted in the fitting.
- Check the length of the installed tube (60, 120 or 150 cm).
- Insert the tube into one end of the polycarbonate filter.
- Slide the filter until the transmission is centred along the entire emitting surface.
- Use the fixing clips if the model includes them to prevent movement.
The red pink colour LED tube filter does not interfere with the wiring or the G13 cap. It is not necessary to switch off the installation to fit it, although doing so is recommended as a precaution.
Other available accessories
In addition to the pink filter, the category includes other fluorescent LED luminaire accessories and general-purpose accessories. The most common hospitality LED tube accessory outside the meat sector is the diffuser filter. It softens the light beam in showrooms and retail premises.
The LED accessory for fluorescent replacement also includes adapters for old fittings with ballasts. If you have a two-tube fluorescent fitting and want to switch to LED lighting without replacing the whole assembly, these accessories simplify the process and reduce the cost of the refurbishment.
Energy efficiency and current regulations
The energy efficiency of T8 LED tubes is regulated by the EU energy labelling regulation. Also by the EC regulation applicable to general-purpose light sources.
Royal Decree 1021/2022, published on 13 December of that year, establishes the minimum energy efficiency requirements for luminaires and light sources marketed in Spain. Each autonomous community may add specific requirements for lighting installations in retail premises. It is therefore advisable to check the locally applicable regulations before carrying out a lighting refurbishment.
Also see the T8 LED tubes category to find the tube type compatible with each accessory. LED tube filter prices are available per unit and in packs for installations with multiple light points.

Are LED tube filters compatible with all lengths?
The available models cover the standard length 60 120 150 cm of T8 tube. Before purchasing, check the exact length of the installed tube type to select the filter with the correct size.
