FAQs
What is the primary advantage of this LED tube over traditional ones?
The primary advantage is its energy efficiency, consuming significantly less power (7W) than equivalent traditional bulbs (50W), leading to cost savings and reduced environmental impact.
Is this LED tube suitable for all light fixtures?
No, this LED tube is specifically designed for fixtures that use the S14s base. Please check your fixture's base type before purchasing.
What does the 'Eye friendly' label mean?
The 'Eye friendly' label indicates that the light emitted is designed to be comfortable and reduce eye strain, making it suitable for tasks like reading or working.
Can I use this LED tube with any dimmer switch?
No, this LED tube is dimmable but requires a compatible dimmer switch designed for LED loads. Using an incompatible dimmer may result in flickering or improper operation.
What is the expected lifespan of this LED tube?
The bulb has an expected lifespan of 15,000 hours, which is considerably longer than many traditional incandescent or fluorescent tubes.
What is the color temperature and light output?
The color temperature is 2700 K (warm white), and the luminous flux is 650 lumens.
How does the energy efficiency rating 'F' affect its performance?
The 'F' rating is based on the new EU energy efficiency scale (A-G). While it might seem low, it reflects the stringent new standards. The bulb is still highly energy-efficient compared to the older technologies it replaces.
Troubleshooting
Light does not turn on.
Verify that the power supply is on and the circuit breaker is engaged. Ensure the LED tube is correctly seated in the S14s fitting. Check if the fixture's switch is functional. If dimming, ensure the dimmer is set to a level that activates the light.
Light flickers or strobes.
This could indicate an incompatible dimmer switch. Try bypassing the dimmer to test if the flickering stops. Ensure the LED tube is fully inserted into the socket. Check for loose connections in the fixture.
Dimming is not smooth or responsive.
Confirm that the dimmer switch is rated for LED loads and is compatible with this specific bulb. Older or non-LED compatible dimmers may not function correctly. Ensure the dimmer is set to a suitable range for the bulb's power.
