Linear Light Source


Choosing between LED and fluorescent lights, here are the differences:


NOTE: "When you choose the option of an LED tube, please consider that an LED tube only emits light downwards, and the tube is partly made of aluminum where the LED is attached. Find an example of the tube here."

Energy Efficiency:

  • LED: Highly energy-efficient, producing more light and less heat. LED light is directional, typically illuminating in one direction. Some LED tubes have an aluminum top part for improved heat dissipation, and they are mounted on this aluminum part.
  • Fluorescent: Less energy-efficient, emitting more heat. Fluorescent light emits in all directions.

Lifespan:

  • LED: Longer lifespan (up to 50,000 hours) compared to fluorescents (10,000-15,000 hours).

Light Quality:

  • LED: Offers better light quality, with better dimmable options.
  • Fluorescent: May have varied light quality.

Maintenance:

  • LED: Requires less maintenance due to its longer lifespan.
  • Fluorescent: Needs more frequent replacements.

The terms 2400K, 2700K, 3000K, and 4000K refer to different color temperatures of light, usually associated with various types of lighting sources. Color temperature is measured in Kelvin (K) and is used to describe the color appearance of light emitted by the fixture.

  1. 2400K: Warm White:

    • Warm white light has a yellowish or amber tint.
    • It is similar to the color of incandescent bulbs and is often used for creating a cozy and intimate atmosphere.
    • Commonly used in residential settings, restaurants, and areas where a warmer, more relaxed ambiance is desired.

  2. 2700K: Warm White:

    • Slightly cooler than 2400K, but still in the warm white range.
    • Often used for general residential lighting, such as in living rooms and bedrooms.
    • Provides a warm and inviting atmosphere.

  3. 3000K: Soft White to Warm White:

    • A neutral to warm white light.
    • Suitable for a variety of settings, both residential and commercial.
    • Commonly used in kitchens, bathrooms, and workspaces where a balance between warm and cool lighting is desired.

  4. 4000K: Cool White:

    • Cool white light has a bluish or cool tone.
    • It is often associated with daylight and is used to create a bright and alert environment.
    • Commonly used in offices, retail spaces, and areas where task lighting is important.
