Crompton Lamps LED 6ft T8 Tube 28W Daylight Reviews

4.4 Rating 33 Reviews
Read Lightbulbs Direct Reviews

This retrofit 6ft LED T8 tube light bulb from Crompton Lamps replaces the mercury and other hazardous materials found in compact fluorescent tubes with modern LED components, making it a much safer, more reliable and more efficient alternative.The tube’s linear circuit board is adorned with a series of SMD LED chips that sit within a protective, cylindrical glass shell. This use of glass - rather than plastic - prevents the tube from bending, warping or discolouring over time. Each tube carries a 2-year Lightbulbs Direct warranty as standard, alongside a 5-year manufacturer's warranty.Where a traditional fluorescent tube would use approximately 70W to produce 3000 lumens, these modern LED T8 tubes use just 28W. This, coupled with the light bulb’s vastly superior nominal lifetime of 40,000 hours, has the potential to reduce lighting bills by up to 90%. Despite the much-improved performance offered by its LED componentry, it shares the same G13 fitting as the fluorescent tubes it’s been designed to replace. This makes upgrading incredibly simple and completely removes the need for rewiring of any sort. Simply remove your power-hungry 70W fluorescent tube, replace it with this 28W LED equivalent and you can begin to benefit from substantially reduced lighting costs almost immediately.No warping, no bending. Replaces 70W fluorescent tube but consumes only 28W of power. Supplied in rigid 2mm cardboard tube to minimise risk of transport damage. Not suitable for dimming.Fitted with a standard sized G13 2-pin (13mm apart) caps to both ends.* This LED T8 tube includes an LED starter for direct retrofit into existing battens where starters are used, however Crompton Lamps recommends wiring this light bulb directly to the mains to acheive optimum efficiency. For circuits which have an electronic ballast, Crompton Lamps recommends bypassing the ballast and wiring this light bulb directly to the mains for optimum efficiency. We highly recommend that the installation is carried out by a qualified electrician to ensure the best results. For more installation information please see manufacturers website.This T8 Tube is a newer product from Crompton Lamps and supersedes their old T8 Tube part codes: LFT632DL.

Well as this is a replacement for fluorescent tubes I would always expect them to perform better. However, the quality seems good and installation relatively simple (re-wire) with clear instructions. These are the daylight version and they appear to have a strong range of light making it much easier to see in a garage. I've marked performance down slightly as there were more efficient brands (these were 28w whereas others were as low as 23w). My installation has 4 of these so this builds up. Also style as the end caps are a little large however this is minor point and doesn't impact performance. Overall, very pleased with the product.

Worked perfectly first time. Gave better light than my old 80W fluorescent tubes. I rewired my fittings as they were very old but could have installed more easily using the ballasts that were supplied with the tubes.

Two tubes of the three supplied now in use - one frequently. Instant starting a useful improvement. Lumens seem about the same (but are adequate and the power saving will be welcome) I'm yet to by-pass the ballasts and boost the performance, though that's correctly not to be recommended to those without professional qualifications. Packaging for delivery was clearly adequate, outer showed no signs of inappropriate handling.

This lamp is very good value for money but the failure rate is unacceptably high. I ordered 3 of these from Lightbulbs Direct, one of which didn't work properly. I was sent a total of 4 replacements, 2 of which were faulty and one that was damaged. The last replacement actually worked. It took a month to get a light that worked but to Lightbulbs Direct's credit, their customer service was outstanding. As for the product, whilst it is good value for money, I cannot recommend it as 3 out of 7 lamps I received in total were faulty.

Just as described. What a shame about the delivery company choice of. Parcel Force, which delivered a package that had the contents damaged. One broken tube which has had to be replaced.at a cost to the Company.
