Some LED retrofit tubes are actually quite realistic lol.
|
|
|||
Yes they are now & that was one of my thoughts behind this- it'll be interesting to try different types/brands of tubes in it. These Crompton tubes are pretty good but one can tell the light is led, it has that slightly gloomy & coldish appearance, not quite the same as real fluorescent 840 tubes

I’ve used a mix of Bell and Novah retrofits at work, the Novah’s you can tell immediately as their 5000K, but the 4000 Bells you can’t tell at all until you study the end caps
|

I used the osrams and they are all going off colour one end lol meant to be 840 but they are now going more of a 7k colour at the driver end
|

Kev, Sounds like the phosphor coating is burning off the led chips. Some fittings and retrofit tubes at work are doing this, some have even gone purple-ish
|
|
|||
We have some at work in battens over some of the smaller machines and the only way I could tell from where I was standing was the fact that they were sagging slightly in the middle lol.
|
|
|||
Haha yeah the ones that sag do look quite tragic
|
|
|||
First failure today- only one quarter of an NVC LED tube lights lol. In fairness, it was a 2nd hand tube with an unknown amount of prior usage
|
|
|||
What's the manufacture date? Using that you could probably give a pretty good estimate. It was probably running no more than 12 hours a day in it's original installation so a theoretical maximum could be found?

The Bell ones are best, 2 years on now and out of the 135 I fitted to our frontage sign, NO ONE of them has failed!
