Doss 16W T8 288-LED Tube Standard White Bulb Ceiling Light Lamp 1.2M 4000K

Doss 16W T8 288-LED Tube Standard White Bulb Ceiling Light 1.2M 4000K

T8 LED Tubes are an ideal replacement for traditional T8 fluorescent tubes as they have the advantages of high brightness, being energy efficient and a super long lamp life of at least 30,000 hours without any flickering.

• Type: T8 Led Tube
• 16 Watts
• Standard White (4000 ~ 4800K)
• Length: 1.2m
• 288 LEDs

Benefits

• Environmentally friendly: No glass no mercury, no electromagnetic emissions, no UV and no IR radiation.
• Bright LED light source
• Low heat emissions
• Long life span: 30,000~50,000 hours
• Saving of at least 40% for comparable fluorescent tubes
• Vibration and shock resistant

Applications

• Living room
• School
• Factory
• Supermarket
• Kitchen
• Warehouse
• Show rooms

Scenario

• Radio Parts has approximately 500 fluoro tubes [item 25582495] in current use.
• Current cost of power is 0.152¢ per kWh [3 phase]
• We will start replacing these with LED tubes [25600110]

Workings

• The Doss T8 is rated at 16W as opposed to the 36W ofa standard T8 fluorescent tube
• Using a Fluke 771F we confirmed the current draw
• By roughly adding the material, labour and power costs, we investigated costs over a 25 year period

Assumptions

• Cost of LEDs are reducing in price over time, but we are assuming that prices remain the same
• Usage is based on 8 hours per day for 365 days a year
• Energy costs are likely to increase over time, but we are assuming energy prices remain fixed
• The assumed install price is the same. Though LEDs involve the removal of the starter and ballast, the fluoros are hotter (cannot be touched) and are more fragile

Conclusion

• For our existing site, it's nearly cost neutral forthe first 2-3 years. After 25 years, we expect to save over 80,000
