LED vs T5 : Which bulb is better?

By Michael Zhang


Here at E-Handsome Advertising light box, we believe that LED light bulbs are the ideal long term answer for any lighting related subjects. This assessment derives from severe and exhaustive testing done on our end. A side by side comparison of LED lighting systems with fluorescent T5 lighting systems have shown us serious differences in how these 2 systems line up which we have published below:

1) Life Fluorescent light bulbs have a rated life span of upto 10,000 hours while LED lights have a rated life span of upto 50,000 hours. Even at the end of its lifespan, LED light bulbs still run at 50% of its capacity. To keep up with LED lights, the fluorescent bulbs would have to get replaced roughly 5 times

High Efficiency: not affected by shape and size

2) Heat Transfer Fluorescent light bulbs use heat to generate light while LED bulbs use energy to generate light. We see this time and again with regard to our light box where the T5 light boxes tend to get hotter on touch compared against our LED light box which maintain a halfhearted temperature through operation.

3) Eco Friendly Fluorescent light bulbs contain mercury and glass which are toxic for the environment. LED light bulbs from an alternative perspective contain no damaging chemicals. They also don't send out any UV light which is common in fluorescent light bulbs.

4) Adaptability Fluorescent lightbulbs usually produce a cold blue or white light. LED bulbs are far more flexible and can be gotten in a good range of colours and are perfect for use in any lighting environment.

5) Energy Utilization LED light bulbs consume less power compared with fluorescent bulbs. This leads to lower energy costs for the final user. While fluorescent lightbulbs are a cheaper up front alternative, LED lights provide serious long-term cost saving benefits.
