ON THE RIGHT WE HAVE THE LED EQUILIVENT or ALTERNATIVE SUGGESTIONS. (in some aplications a retrofit may not be sufficent . there for a suggested addition may need be applied)
common incandescent styles in use | The led alternative |

STANDARD FLUORESCENT TUBES T8,T10,T5 STANDARD 32 WATT = 2850 LUMENS | LED T8 TUBES AROUND 320 LED'S 20W = 2350LUMENS NO FLICKER OR BUZZ AND UPTO 50 000HRS LIFE |
Above find the following example of the white light colours
Warm white: being the colour of the standard incandescent bulb.
We have all become accustom too.
However, all of the above colours have been available with the traditional T8 fluorescent tube light.
You may not notice the difference, if you were to replace a single warm white fluorescent tube with a cool white tube. However to replace one in a room of 2 or more , You will notice the differance
Warm white has a yellowie tinge White is more white and cool white is a bluey colour in comparison
We recommend White over warm white.
Now you have more choices in ambiance when it comes to the replacement of Incandescent or Halogen globes.
Led lighting is not only available in more shades of white, cool white, daylight white, warm white, they come are also available in blue, red, yellow, green purple ,including R.G.B (red blue and green).
These lights can slowly fade from one colour to another and mix two or more together to create others.
Also available with remote controls so you can tailor the colours yourself.
