Your Workout is Going Down the Tube

It’s time to let LED tube lighting do the workout for you. Switching to LED tube lighting in office spaces, classrooms, conference rooms, hallways, lobbies and other temperature-controlled commercial spaces with standard ceiling heights can save you some sweat. The number one selling light bulb in the U.S., the LED tube is designed to provide commercial applications with higher energy savings, lower maintenance costs, and better performance than the fluorescent tubes they are created to replace.

Feeling pumped? Good. It only gets better from here.

It’s Time to Get Energized

The first positive of LED tube lighting is the amount of energy you could be saving by switching from traditional fluorescent tubes. A reduction in wattage means a reduction in heat, which means money right back into your pocket.

At 1000Bulbs, T8 LED tubes, such as the PLTS-11962 and PLTS-11963, work with existing fluorescent fixtures at half the operation costs as traditional T8/T12 lamps and will deliver more lumens per watt.  

Now Sit Back and Relax

Feeling tired? Kick back those feet because these tubes, if used 12 hours per day, can last more than 11 years without you having to lift a finger. LED tubes can last twice the amount of time as fluorescent tubes, clocking in at an average of 50,000 hours.

Installation provides you with yet another chance to relax. PLT Solutions offers LED T8 tubes designed to be quick and easy to install – they are a simple solution if you aren’t ready to replace the old and would prefer to retrofit fluorescent fixtures. They can be installed using a direct wire tube, a method where the ballast must be bypassed and removed so the tube can run off of the line voltage that flows through the sockets, or a plug-and-play T8 lamp, which is the easiest way, as it requires no rewiring and operates with the fixture’s existing fluorescent ballast.

1000Bulbs also offers a hybrid version that uses either installation method. The PLT-50264 is a 4’ LED tube that offers hybrid technology, which reduces maintenance and can be installed with or without a ballast. The PLTS-11962 and PLTS-11963, 8’ LED tubes, and the LEDT-10078, a 2’ LED tube, require ballast bypass installation.

The Power of Performance

A better workout from your lighting equals better performance. These products were designed with performance in mind, from frosted glass lens for even light distribution to uniform, end-to-end light output with no pixilation. They feature a frosted glass lens for even light diffusion.

Among these LED tubes, color temperatures range from 4000 to 5000K. This provides consistent lighting across your application.
