VL T8 4 Foot LED Tubes
Part Number : VL005E18FWW
High brightness and extreme low power consumption, these VLT8 tubes replace conventional fluorescent tube lights. Using 288 3528 SMD LEDs in the 4' tubes, 144 3528 SMD LEDs in the 2' tubes and leading components, the VLT8 Tubes are a stunning example of LED engineering. Flicker-free operation and instant start up, works without ballast or starter.
VLT8 4 Foot LED Tube
VLT8 LED Tubes are available in both Fosted or Prismatic Lens and are excellent for use anywhere: homes, offices, museums, galleries, retail shop windows, hotels, restaurants, meeting rooms, just like conventional fluorescent lights.
High brightness and extreme low power consumption, these VLT8 tubes replace conventional fluorescent tube lights. Using SMD 3528 LEDS and leading components, the VLT8 Tubes are a stunning example of LED engineering. Flicker-free operation and instant start up, works without ballast or starter.
Features:
- Long Life: 50,000 + hour lifespan exceeds even the highest quality fluorescents tubes.
- Aluminum body for greatly improved Heat dissipation.
- Acrylic / Prismatic Lens to aid in the reduction of Glare.
- We use 3528 SMD LEDs where many others use DIP LEDs. DIP LEDs are much more susceptible to greater light loss and are much more fragile than SMD LEDs.
- We utilize a top-level reflow soldering machine incorporating a sophisticated computer system which is the latest micro-circle technology. The computer control system can control the temperature to 0.1 degree and therefore accurately control the PCB temperature for enhanced and excellent soldering results.
- Extreme Efficiency: Over 80% more efficient than traditional fluorescents tubes.
- Flicker-Free Lighting: Eliminate eye strain and headaches associated with fluorescents lighting.
- Shatter-Proof Design.
- Double Energy Savings: VLT8 LED tubes require no ballast saving even more energy.
- No Mercury Inside: Allows the use of tube lighting when mercury contamination is not an option.
- Flexible Voltage: Use tube lighting in AC 85~265V or DC 12V Input Environments.
- No Interference: Perfect for settings where precise instruments can be disturbed by fluorescent tubes.
- Instant Starting: Starts right away no matter the temperature or conditions.
- Ballast Free Installation For Even More Power Savings.
The VLT8 LED Tube Series does not require the use of a ballast thus allowing you to save even more energy. As an added benefit there is no ballast to break or fail ensuring even longer life. No ballast also means that the VLT8 Tubes can be used in T8 fixtures for the ultimate in compatibility.
Installation is simple but does require basic wiring knowledge as shown below.
*If you do not feel comfortable with this type of basic wiring, please call an electrician.*
Installation
Before installing the VLT8 LED tube: Disconnect power to the light for safety.
Wiring the fixture to use the LED tube is simple, but should be performed by a qualified person.
Ballast and Starter must be Bypassed or Removed.
The two pins at each end of the LED bulb are connected together. Simply apply one side of the 120 Volts AC to one end of the Tube (either pin) and the other side of the 120Volts AC to the other end.
Under no conditions: DO NOT connect power (Positive & Negative) to the two pins at one end only. If they are connected together (positive/negative): you will create a short circuit!!
So basically you are connecting the Positive at one end of the LED tube and the Common/Negative at the opposite end of the LED tube
The Ballast and the Starter must be Bypassed/Removed.
This is critical that the ballast & starter is bypassed.
