What does TL mean in light bulbs?
What does TL mean in light bulbs?
Fluorescent tubes, although more economical, are currently suffering the same fate: the ‘compact fluorescent lamp’ (a mini tube wound into a bulb) is no longer manufactured and the TL (luminescent tube), often called a neon tube, is systematically replaced by LEDs.
How do I know which tube light I need?
In order to identify which size you need, the easiest way to tell is to read the label near the base of the tube. If this information is no longer legible, you can measure the bulb’s diameter. Fluorescent tubes are measured in eighths of an inch.
How do you read a ballast number?
Most fluorescent types are T5, T8, and T12. The T stands for tubular and the number provides the diameter in 1/8 of an inch. Lamp diameter is determined by ballast type. Therefore, a T12 ballast must use a T12 bulb.
Is an LED driver the same as a ballast?
LED drivers (also known as LED power supplies) are similar to ballasts for fluorescent lamps or transformers for low- voltage bulbs: they provide LEDs with the electricity they require to function and perform at their best. LED drivers also protect LEDs from voltage or current fluctuations.
