WithLED lightmarket gradually heating up in US, differentled tubeswith different advantages and different features become popular in US market. Firstly the commonled tubewith built-in driver, and later the built-in driverled tubeable to compatible with electronic ballast starts the first batch energy saving retrofit project when taking advantages of fast and convenient replacement.
Now consumer pays more attention to the more energy-saving and safer product. The defects of existing led tubes with built-in driver confuses people more and more.
1, Since the driver is built within theLED tube, the heating of the driver would increase the working temperature of the led chip, which would cause shorter lifespan of theled tube.E.g., Some brandled tubeswould have problem that the end placing the driver would become dark and not as bright as the other end without driver after one year use.
2,Forled tubesable to compatible with electronic ballast, the ballast would also consume some power, which doesn’t completely fit the concept of energy-saving.
PVTECHT8led tubewith external driver could solve the problem as above. Compared with traditionalLED tubewith built-in driver,PVTECHalso have other advantages as below.
(1)Longer lifespan.SinceLED tubeand driver are separated from each other, the driver heating wouldn’t affect theLEDchip working temperature. Based on the same design and components, the lifespan of the external driver would be about 1.5-2 times of the tube with built-in driver.
(2),Easier maintanceIf there is problem for built-in driverled tube, the whole set needs to be replaced. But only the driver orthe tubeneeds to be replaced if there is problem for external driverled tube.
(3),Safety.PVTECHexternal driver changes high input voltage into safe output voltage of 25V, completely get rid of risk of electric shock.
(4),PVTECHexternal driverled tube pass DLCin US. Consumer could apply rebate (highest 60%)
More cost-saving , more energy-saving, safer,LED tubewith external driver would be North America even the world’s trend forLED tubedevelopment. We look forward to moreLED lightingproducts leading the industry fromPVTECH.
