What is a TLED?

What is a TLED?

Tubular LED (TLED) lights are a type of LED lamp used to retrofit existing fluorescent lamp fixtures to utilize all the advantages of LED technology like energy efficiency and service life.

What does T stand for in lighting?

Fluorescent tube shape Linear fluorescent lamps typically include a “T” in the shape abbreviation with a number following it. This “T” stands for tube and the number that follows is the diameter of the tube. That number is divided into 8 to translate into inches. So a T8 has a one inch diameter.

What is a type T bulb?

So, when we talk about a type T bulb, we’re talking about a tubular-shaped bulb (hence the name type T). Another key feature of a Type T halogen bulb is that it usually has 2 pin bases that are double-ended (although developments gave birth to the single-ended versions)

What does 120vac mean on a light bulb?

120V on a bulb refers to its operating voltage and W or wattage on the bulb (or any other device) refers to the power that it will consume when operating at rated voltage. So, with same voltage you can have bulbs with different Wattages.

What does HCO mean in lighting?

Also known as the HCO (Height from Center of Outlet) or TTO (Top To Opening).

Can I put an LED bulb in a fluorescent fixture?

Answer: Great question – and the answer is yes, an LED tube light can be installed in a traditional fluorescent tube light fixture, without the ballast. Bypassing the ballast in a tube light fixture has the advantage of being more energy efficient – you can expect to save another 5 – 10% of energy use per fixture.

Do you need a ballast for T8 LED bulbs?

Most T8 LED bulbs do not need a ballast. The only type of LED tube that requires a ballast is plug-and-play. Used as direct replacements for fluorescent tubes, plug-and-play LED tube lights install without fixture rewiring, and operate off the existing fluorescent ballast.

Will LED bulbs work without ballast?

No LED bulbs require a ballast, although some are engineered to work with an existing ballast. You will find ballast-compatible or “plug-and-play” LEDs that are designed to replace linear fluorescents, compact fluorescents, or HIDs.
