The idea of having an LED tube as a direct replacement is such a no-brainer you didn’t think Euroquatics was going to be the only company to do this, did you? The concept of being able to replace fluorescent lamps with an LED tube has been around since the LED revolution began, but the last year has seen some significant gains in this area.
In the beginning we had tubes whichfitin fluorescent fixtures but had to be directly wired to the main power. More recently, companies like EconLux and Euroquatics have offered tubes which work with existing fluorescent ballasts, minimizing the need to take fixtures apart for retrofitting with LED tubes.
More recently we’re seeing commercially made retrofit tubes which can work both from the existing ballast, as well as directly wired to increase efficiency. Not only does this afford users more flexibility and no excusenot升级,但它们也越来越便宜。
关于正常输出与高输出灯具仍然存在一些困惑,但至少在水族馆世界中,我们主要关注Ho T5灯。我们发现的一个令人兴奋的管子是IntelliTube的Enternitube,它提供了四英尺Ho T5更换LED管only $15!!!
The only catch is that these HO T5 retrofit tubes are made for simple illumination, so PAR is irrelevant and the colors are limited to warm white, neutral white LEDs. However, the old salts may recall the early days of T5 HO fluorescent lamps selling for as much as $35 to $40 for a quality tube, and several years later the cost become less than half the price.
EuroQuatics可能会使T5管的高质量LED改造陷入困境,尤其是其水族馆合适的颜色和尺寸。但是,只有在我们从欧洲标准中的80美元的管子和15美元的全球照明市场中生产的15美元之间,这将不久。
