    Why do T5 Tubes in Emergency Luminaires Wear Out?

    LO All, The title says it all really. I've just tested a shed load of 11 year old emergency lights and effectively all of them have failed or failing tubes. Since the most that they should have been on is 11 x 1 hour and 1 x 3 hours per year why would a 5000 hour lamp fail? After 11 years I...

    LED inrush

    I'm going to look at a job this week at a warehouse which requires replacing all the existing 6 foot twin fluorescent fittings with LED versions. They've requested the fittings are kept as they're relatively new so will look to bypass ballast etc. Not sure on the number but it'll be a few dozen...

    Noted changes to how we recycle tubes etc ... be aware!!!!

    If your not aware the only recycling plant for tubes was built at a cost of 25million and is owned by CEF, it is not turning a profit as such so new legislation has been introduced, now as it stood before if you brought tubes back you just got charged X pence per tube returned regardless .... -...

    Is there a tube holder made for LED tubes T8?

    I'm not actually fitting any LED tubes but I like to be prepared! I cannot find any LED tube holders for a T8 LED tube, they all seem to be for fluorescents so you would have to remove the ballast and also replace the tube holder sockets. Surely there must be an LED holder? One of the threads...

    Led lighting

    bit of food for thought really I have heard that if you change the wiring in a fluorescent fitting to take an LED lamp, you effectively become the manufactuer of the fitting and as such should sticker the fitting up so if the local choppy comes to replace a lamp he doesn't stick a normal lamp...
