 How to switch to LED with 60x60 ceiling lights

Why replace the old 60x60cm ceiling lights

Today switching from traditional lighting technologies to LED solutions is very easy. For many cases, it is sufficient to simply replace the lamp that is currently installed with the new LED alternative. This applies to the classic incandescent, halogen, spotlight bulbs, for most fluorescent tubes. Most of it? Yes, because there is a particular case in which the transition to the new technology is not so immediate. We are talking about the case in which the fluorescent tubes are installed in 60x60 ceiling lights, or ceiling lights that house 4 T8 18W neon tubes 60cm long. Offices, hospitals, public buildings are the places that make the most of this lighting solution. And considering that these buildings keep the lighting running for several hours a day, energy consumption sometimes skyrockets. For this reason, the transition to innovative LED technology is increasingly considered.

How to work on these devices if you want to install 60cm LED T8 tubes

In most cases, it is necessary to rewire the ceiling lights. This happens because the internal layout of this type of ceiling light does not allow the simple and rapid passage to LED as it is with the ceiling lights for pipes of length 120cm (36W) and 150cm (58W). In fact, unlike T8 120cm and 150cm tube lights, in which each tube is fed from its own reactor, the 60x60 luminaires have a single reactor for each pair of tubes. To switch to LED, therefore, you have two alternatives available:

1 - In the presence of a conventional reactor, it is possible to buy tubes that feed at 220-240V. Discard the reactor and starter and feed the tubes directly at 220-240V, re-wiring the overhead light internally.

2 - In the presence of electronic ballast, purchase LED tubes compatible with electronic ballast. How to recognize them? These tubes have a supply voltage between 50V and 100V.

Is there an even more efficient alternative to LED tubes

Then it's time to consider 60x60 LED panels. These products are designed to replace the entire lighting body, ie it will be necessary to dismantle the entire 60x60 ceiling, and install the new LED panel. Note, you can forget about the reactor. The panel, in fact, feeds directly at 220-240V.

Is the LED panel as efficient as fluorescent tubes

Yup! The classic 4x18 ceiling lamp composed of 4 18W T8 tubes has a total luminous flux of 3600 lm. In doing so, the ceiling lamp consumes 72W to which must be added the energy consumption caused by each transformer. A LED panel offers the same luminous flux while consuming half: 36W, without the extra consumption of the transformers. A net savings of 50%. The trick is ... and now you can see it!

How to install LED tubes in an existing system

How to install LED tubes in an existing system Are you using T8 fluorescent tubes and want to replace them with LED tubes, but you don't know how to proceed? Here's how! Real and significant energy savings Investing in efficient resources in terms of energy saving is moving from being a simple idea to a real lifestyle. One of the most adopted solutions to reduce consumption and costs is the possibility of installing LED lighting in your own environment. But if for many cases the transition to the new technology takes place through the simple and rapid replacement of the bulb, to replace the fluorescent tubes an important detail must be considered: is your ballast electronic or conventional? How to install LED tubes in fixtures with conventional drivers If your current lighting system works with a conventional or ferromagnetic ballast, then the replacement is very simple. The procedure is as follows: 1. Buy LED tubes with starter included 2. Remove the fluorescent tu...

How to choose the correct LED bulb

How to choose the correct LED bulb Ecological advantages, energy savings, and cost savings switching to LED is the solution! Investing in efficient resources in terms of energy saving, from being a simple idea is turning into a real lifestyle. "Going Green" is not a walk, on the contrary. It involves dedication and commitment, sometimes even an economic outlay that we don't always include in the priority list. However, there is a solution, today one of the most common, to adopt an ecological line that helps us to amortize expenses without investing all our assets: switch to LED. How can the correct LED alternative be chosen To begin with, the first step is to see if the attack of our traditional light bulb exists with LEDs. The new lighting technology covers most of the attack spectrum, or at least the most common. If the attack exists, it is often enough to remove the traditional incandescent, halogen or fluorescent bulb and install the new LED product. How to s...
