Yes, we can replace a fluorescent bulb or tube with Hyperlite LED Lights, but we need to analyze the reasons, benefits, and differences between Hyperlite LED Lights and fluorescent tubes or bulbs.
Beam Angle and Lifespan
The beam angle for the fluorescent bulb is 360 degrees, and for our Hyperlite LED Lights, it is 120 degrees. That means you will have a good concentration of light and it will not be spread in all directions. About the lifespan, the fluorescent bulb or tube has 7000 to 15000 hours, and being honest, it is a good amount of time, but please check the lifespan of our Hyperlite LED Lights; these have around 50000 to 60000 hours, and that is great news for you because you will save money not buying more lights to replace the old ones, and this next feature will show a big difference.
Energy Efficiency and Safety
Hyperlite LED Lights are more energy efficient because they use at least 75% less energy than fluorescent bulbs or tubes. Could you imagine saving at least 75% on your bills? Because with Hyperlite, you will have great light quality that is energy efficient. Hyperlite LED Lights are safer than fluorescent bulbs or tubes because Hyperlite LED Lights are not made of glass like fluorescent bulbs or tubes. While fluorescent bulbs or tubes heat up and burn out, Hyperlite LED Lights conserve energy and stay cool to the touch; they pose less of a fire and burn hazard than heat-generating lights like fluorescent bulbs or tubes. Fluorescent bulbs or tubes get so hot because most of their energy is being released as heat, not light, making them much more inefficient, and many fluorescent bulbs or tubes cannot operate if the air temperature is below 50 degrees Fahrenheit.
Operating Temperature and Instant Response
Now you will see the operating temperature of our Hyperlite LED Lights; they operate in extremely cold or hot temperatures. This is good news for you because no matter where you are located, you do not need to worry about purchasing a light that can withstand the climate you are in; they work between -104 to 122 degrees Fahrenheit. Hyperlite LED Lights are designed to run between 100 to 277 volts.
Hyperlite LED Lights are ideal for frequently turning on and off; they respond rather instantaneously because there is no warm-up or cool-down period, and they will produce steady light without flicker. On the other side, fluorescent bulbs or tubes delay turning on and may flicker. For more options, check out our Do LED High Bay Lights Get Hot?.
Now with this information, you can choose the best light for you.
