Is It Time To Say Goodbye To The Fluorescent Tube
Does it make sense to replace your existing fluorescent lamps with LED tubes? Of course that answer varies depending on your specific application, hours of operation and type of fluorescent tube being used, but the lines are now blurred with recent advancements in LED lighting.
Let’s take a look at one of the most common types of lights used in commercial settings – the 4-foot T-8 fluorescent lamp. The time has finally come to retire the T8 fluorescent tube with the introduction of the new Philips LED T8 InstantFit lamp.
In the past, fluorescent fixture modifications and code compliance made switching to LED tubes a labor intensive project. However, with the new InstantFit from Philips Lighting, ‘Plug and Play’ has finally arrived with the LED tube.
Suitable for a large range of installations and applications, the InstantFit requires no rewiring in fixtures with electronic ballasts. In fact, installation only takes seconds and no electrician needed. It will even operate along side fluorescent tubes in the same fixture – now that is impressive.
InstantFit T8 LED Tube Benefits:
- 40,000 hour lifetime and 4 year warranty!
- No Ballast Bypass – You do not have to touch the ballast at all.
- Mercury Free – Environmentally friendly and requires no costly disposal fees.
- Instant On – No flickering or buzz
- Dimmable & Controllable – Add occupancy sensors to improve the energy savings.
Philips LED T8 InstantFit Tube is now available and shipping in 3500K, 4000K and 5000K color temperatures making it the right choice for all types of general lighting applications.

Hi Mike,
The most important advantage of LEDs over fluorescent tube is that :
Fluorescent lights contain a small amount of mercury. This metal and its vapour is extremely hazardous to both humans and the environment. LEDs are completely safe and do not contain such poisonous materials, putting home owners and parents at ease while knowing that they are not contributing to pollution.
