LED T8 U-Bend Tubes

The LED T8 U-Bend Tube lights from Straits® are designed as replacements for existing U-Bend tube lights. These are direct wire lights, which means that the current fixture will need to be rewired to bypass any existing ballasts. These are designed to be wired up as single ended, which means non-shunted tombstones are required to complete installation. These LED T8 U-Bend lights use state-of-the-art LED technology and are constructed of a durable shatterproof frosted lens with an aluminum casing, allowing for a lifetime of use with little to no maintenance.

LED U-Bend lights are excellent choices for those who are looking to keep their existing fixtures but enjoy the benefits that LED lighting has to offer. It is important to cross-reference the specification sheet to ensure dimensional and connection compatibility.

Information on T8 U-Bend Tube Lights

Two foot U-shaped LED T8 Tube with prongs on each end for easy installationU-Bend lights are a type of LED tube light that are commonly used in commercial applications requiring compact but high output lighting. Often these are used in place of traditional troffer lights, as well retail and display lighting applications. These lights come in two different styles depending on individual lighting requirements. These styles are differentiated based on their color temperature (Kelvin) rating, which are either 5000K or 4000K.

Fluorescent U-Bend Tube Lights vs LED U-Bend Tube Lights

While many commercial users are still operating fluorescent lights as their main illumination source, there are an increasing number who are seeing the benefits of switching to LED lighting and have begun to do so. The benefits of LEDs for U-Bend Tube Lights are several fold:

  • Significantly improved energy efficiency
  • Higher lumen per watt ratios
  • Far greater lifespan
  • Dramatically lower maintenance costs
  • Improved safety and efficiency due to greater lighting accuracy

The US Department of Energy explains the energy savings associated with LED lighting in their latest SSL forecast report:

“Light-emitting diodes (LEDs), a type of SSL, are revolutionizing the lighting market. LEDs have surpassed, or matched, all conventional lighting technologies in terms of energy efficiency, lifetime, versatility, and color quality, and, due to their increasing cost competitiveness, LEDs are successfully competing in a wide variety of lighting applications. Going forward, LED technology is expected to continue to improve, with increasing efficacy and decreasing prices while enabling new opportunities for lighting design and energy savings.”
