LED versus T5 : Which bulb is better?

By Michael Zhang


Here at E-Handsome Advertising light box, we think that LED light bulbs are the ideal long term answer for any lighting related topics. This assessment stems from comprehensive and exhaustive testing done on our end. A side by side comparison of LED lighting systems with fluorescent T5 lighting systems have shown us significant variations in how these two systems line up which we have published below:

1) Life Fluorescent light bulbs have a rated life span of upto 10,000 hours while LED light bulbs have a rated life span of upto 50,000 hours. Even at the end of its lifespan, LED light bulbs still run at 50% of its capability. To keep up with LED light bulbs, the fluorescent light bulbs would need to be replaced roughly 5 times

High Efficiency: not affected by shape and size

2) Heat Transfer Fluorescent lights use heat to generate light while LED bulbs use energy to generate light. We see this time and again regarding our light box where the T5 light boxes tend to get hotter on touch compared against our LED light box which maintain a halfhearted temperature through operation.

3) Eco Friendly Fluorescent light bulbs contain mercury and glass which are poisonous for the environment. LED bulbs from an alternative perspective have no harmful chemicals. They also don't emit any UV light which is common in fluorescent lights.

4) Adaptability Fluorescent light bulbs generally produce a cold blue or white light. LED light bulbs are more flexible and can be gotten in a wide range of colours and are ideal to be used in any lighting environment.

5) Energy Function LED bulbs are more energy-efficient compared with fluorescent lights. This leads to lower energy costs for the end user. While fluorescent light bulbs are a cheaper up-front alternative, LED bulbs provide significant long term cost saving benefits.
