LED Tube Light Trend Report: The High Performance LED Tube

The High Performance LED tube has the capacity to fundamentally change the commercial American energy landscape. An LED tube can typically reduce the electricity by 50% or more over an incumbent T12 or T8 fluorescent tube. However, “high performance” is the key since industry professionals, like electrical contractor, have had reservations about the cost-benefit ratio, longevity, and the overall quality assurance of LED tubes. The reservations have stemmed from the “new” factor, engineering viability, and observations that the vast majority of mass-market LED tube lights are imported from China.
