LED tubes - basic properties, installation and benefits

LED tubes are products that are widely used both as the main lighting and in the form of decorative lighting. The products of this category consist of a series of LED elements placed in a flexible tube made of PVC. LED flexible tubes are able to radiate a truly uniform, striking imagination, due to the matte effect of the outer coating.

Design features of LED elements

LED tubes are presented as a linear lighting device. They consist of a transparent, completely sealed polycarbonate housing, where the LED strip is placed. Flexible tubes can be filled with both multi-colored and monophonic lighting elements surrounded by a varnished protective coating.

Properties of flexible LED tubes

Flexible LED tubes differ in the following qualities:

• The highest impact resistance;
• The ability to maintain physical properties throughout the life of the device;
• High level of fire safety;
• Protection against penetration of dirt, dust and moisture;
• Resistance to the effects of negative environmental factors (precipitation, ultraviolet rays, gas contamination of airspace);
• Simplicity of installation and ease of maintenance;

Features of installation of lighting elements

The LED tube can be fixed to a standard double-sided adhesive tape. If more reliable installation is required, specialized fasteners in the form of aluminum linings, clips, remote brackets are used. The tubes from the LED chain perfectly accept any given shape. Therefore, you can mount them, creating spectacular inscriptions and patterns.

LED tubes, luminaires based on LED tapes, without problems are fixed on hard to access, difficult to mount surfaces, which contributes to the creation of original spectacular decorative lighting.

If we talk about the main factors on which the reliability of installation directly depends, then it is worth noting the quality of the used products, the materials of manufacture and the strength of the fasteners, the correctness of the soldering and connection of the lighting elements, the level of sealing of the joints.

Applications

LED tubes are characterized by a wide range of possible applications. This solution can be considered one of the best when it comes to creating a spectacular architectural highlight of a high level of complexity. LED tubes are used in creating large-scale light installations, organizing attractive interior and decorative lighting. Especially often you can see lamps, LED tubes in the interior of public institutions, cafes and restaurants, nightclubs, shopping areas.

The most original, beautiful, memorable and bright advertising is being created precisely due to the use of flexible LED tubes. With the help of the glow of such elements, modern buildings have acquired a unique evening charm.

The special breadth of possible applications of LED tubes opens up unlimited possibilities for the development of creativity. When using such luminaires in creative installations, the result depends only on the imagination of the author and the designer's abilities of the masters. In particular, the most modern LED tube T8 contributes to the implementation of the most recent, really bold ideas.

With the help of LED flexible tubes, there are opportunities for organizing complex lighting structures, for example, lighting steps, arches and niches, stair flights, interior elements of the most unusual fancy shape.

Practicality

The main feature of the practical application of LED tubes is their increased flexibility. Pipes can be tied up literally, which helps create luminous letters, organize advertising signs, symbols.

Under the LED tubes special fixings, adapters and connections are produced. Thanks to all of the above, it's extremely convenient to work with flexible LED tubes.

With the help of special electronic controllers it is possible to control the light saturation and color of the tubes. Moreover, the presence of such a control makes it possible to set own modes of light dynamics.

Main advantages of LED flexible tubes

Modern LED tubes are able to demonstrate stable operation while maintaining their basic properties when the ambient temperature drops to a level of the order of -40 ° C and its rise to +60 ° C. The durability of the neon lighting elements is about 70,000 hours of continuous operation.

Another noteworthy advantage of LED tubes is the increased brightness of such lighting. The light that comes from the LED tubes has a uniform net effect.

Among other advantages of flexible LED lighting is worth noting:

• Absolute environmental safety;
• Economical power consumption with impressive power;
• Compact size;
• A variety of color solutions and excellent spectral characteristics;
• Low heat dissipation.
