Difference between fluorescent lights and led lights

Quality of light: LED lights do not strobe, protecting the eyes and providing a more stable light that helps to focus and improve efficiency. In contrast, traditional fluorescent lights produce 100-120 strobes per second, which may cause visual fatigue.

The main differences between fluorescent lamps and LED lamps are energy consumption, lifespan, light quality, environmental friendliness, voltage adaptability, and safety.

Energy consumption and efficiency: the power consumption of LED lights is less than one-third of the traditional fluorescent lamps, LED fluorescent lamps, especially the brightness of the softer, so that people in the acceptance of the easier. LED lamps have significant energy-saving effect, able to save 60-80% of the electrical energy.

Lifespan: LED lamp service life of 50,000 - 80,000 hours, much higher than the life of traditional fluorescent lamps, almost maintenance-free, there is no need to often replace the lamp, ballast, glow starter problem.

Quality of light: LED lights do not strobe, protecting the eyes and providing a more stable light that helps to focus and improve efficiency. In contrast, traditional fluorescent lights produce 100-120 strobes per second, which may cause visual fatigue.

Environmentally Friendly: LED lights are more environmentally friendly as they do not contain harmful materials such as mercury. Traditional fluorescent lamps contain a large amount of mercury vapor, which will evaporate into the atmosphere if broken, causing environmental pollution.

Voltage adaptability: LED lamps can be lit within a certain range of voltage, and can also adjust the brightness, while traditional fluorescent lamps need to be lit by the high voltage released by the rectifier, and can not be lit when the voltage is reduced.

Safety: LED lamps can withstand 4kv high voltage, low heat dissipation, can work in the low temperature -30 ℃ to high temperature 55 ℃ environment, no ultraviolet and infrared, no noise, will not have an impact on the surrounding environment.

To summarize, LED lamps are better than traditional fluorescent lamps in terms of energy consumption, life expectancy, light quality, environmental protection, voltage adaptability and safety, and are one of the main products to replace traditional fluorescent lamps at present.
