LED versus T5 : Which bulb is better?

Here at E-Handsome Advertising light box, we believe that LED light bulbs are the perfect long term answer for any lighting related topics. This assessment originates from severe and exhaustive testing done on our end. A side-by-side comparison of LED lighting systems with fluorescent T5 lighting systems have shown us significant variations in how these 2 systems line up which we have published below:

1) Shelf Life Fluorescent light bulbs have a rated life span of upto 10,000 hours while LED bulbs have a rated life span of upto 50,000 hours. Even at the end of its lifespan, LED light bulbs still run at 50% of its capacity. To keep up with LED bulbs, the fluorescent light bulbs would have to be replaced approximately 5 times

High Efficiency: not affected by shape and size

2) Heat Transfer Fluorescent lights use heat to generate light while LED bulbs use energy to generate light. We see this time and time again with respect to our light box where the T5 light boxes have a tendency to get warmer on touch matched against our LED light box which maintain a halfhearted temperature all though operation.

3) Eco Friendly Fluorescent light bulbs contain mercury and glass which are damaging for the environment. LED light bulbs from an alternative perspective have no dangerous chemicals. They also don't emit any UV light which isn't unusual in fluorescent light bulbs.

4) Flexibility Fluorescent bulbs usually produce a cold blue or white light. LED lightbulbs are far more adaptable and can be found in a good range of colors and are ideal for use in any lighting environment.

5) Energy Utilization LED lightbulbs consume less power compared to fluorescent light bulbs. This causes lower energy costs for the final user. While fluorescent light bulbs are a cheaper up-front alternative, LED lights provide serious long-term cost saving benefits.
