LED tubes are products that are widely used both as primary lighting and as decorative lighting. Products of this category consist of a sequential chain of LED elements placed in a flexible tube made of PVC. Flexible LED tubes are able to emit a truly uniform, amazing imagination due to the opaque 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.
Flexible LED Tube Properties
Flexible LED tubes are distinguished by the following qualities:
- highest impact resistance;
- the ability to preserve physical properties throughout the entire life cycle;
- high level of fire safety;
- protection against penetration of pollution, dust and moisture;
- resistance to the effects of negative environmental factors (precipitation, ultraviolet rays, gas contamination of the airspace);
- ease of installation and ease of maintenance;
Features of the installation of lighting elements
LED tubes can be fixed on a standard double-sided tape. If more reliable installation is necessary, specialized fasteners are used in the form of aluminum plates, clips, remote brackets. The tubes from the LED circuit perfectly take any given shape. Therefore, you can mount them, creating spectacular inscriptions and patterns.
LED tubes, luminaires based on LED strips, are easily fixed on hard-to-reach, difficult to install surfaces, which contributes to the creation of an original effective decorative lighting.
If we talk about the main factors on which the reliability of installation directly depends, here it is worth noting the quality of the products used, the materials of manufacture and the strength of the fasteners, the correct soldering and connection of lighting elements, the level of sealing joints.
Fields of application
LED tubes are particularly wide range of possible applications. This solution can be considered one of the best when it comes to the need to create spectacular architectural lighting of a high level of complexity. LED tubes are used to create large-scale light installations, organize attractive interior and decorative lighting. Especially often you can see lamps, LED tubes in the interior of public institutions, cafes and restaurants, night clubs, trading floors.
The most original, beautiful, memorable and bright advertising is currently being created precisely thanks to the use of flexible LED tubes. With the glow of such elements, modern buildings have acquired a unique evening charm.
The special breadth of possible applications for LED tubes opens up simply unlimited possibilities for the development of creativity. When using such fixtures in creative installations, the result depends only on the imagination of the author and the design abilities of the masters. In particular, the most modern T8 LED tubes contribute to the implementation of the most recent, truly bold ideas.
With the help of LED flexible tubes, opportunities are created for organizing complex lighting structures, for example, illuminating steps, arches and niches, staircases, and interior elements of the most unusual bizarre shape.
Practicality
The main feature of the practical application of LED tubes is their increased flexibility. The tubes can be literally knotted, which contributes to the creation of luminous letters, the organization of advertising signs, symbols.
Under the LED tubes, specialized mounts, adapters and connections are made. Thanks to all of the above, working with flexible LED tubes becomes extremely convenient.
Using special electronic controllers, you can control the light saturation and color of the tubes. Moreover, the presence of such a control makes it possible to set your own modes of light dynamics.
Key Benefits of LED Flexible Tubing
Modern LED tubes are able to demonstrate stable operation while maintaining their basic properties while lowering the ambient temperature to a level of -40 ° C and increasing it to +60 ° C. Moreover, the durability of 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 an even, pure effect.
Among other advantages of flexible LED lighting, it is worth noting:
- absolute environmental safety;
- economical energy consumption with impressive power;
- compact sizes;
- a variety of color schemes and excellent spectral characteristics;
- low heat.
