Length
Explanation
The most common lengths for T8 LED Tubes are 60cm, 90cm, 120cm and 150cm. For T5 LED Tubes this concerns 55cm, 85cm, 115cm and 145cm. Switching to LED? Then always check the length of your current fluorescent lighting. Do you want to know more? Then read our blog!
Colour temperature (Kelvin)
Explanation
Colour Code
Explanation
The colour code is a combination of colour rendering (CRI) and light colour (Kelvin). The first number indicates the colour rendering (1 = very poor colour rendering, 9 = maximum colour fastness). The second and third number contains the light colour. Example: the colour code 830 consists of good colour rendering (8) and warm white light (3000K).
Wattage
Explanation
The wattage indicates how much energy a light source consumes. With LED lighting, the wattage is considerably lower than with conventional lighting. LED lamps with a higher wattage generally also have a higher light intensity (number of lumens).
Product Line
Luminous Flux (Lumen)
Explanation
The number of lumens (lm) is the light output of a light source. The higher the number of lumens, the more light the light source emits. The wattage and the number of lumens are not connected to each other. An LED lamp with a low wattage can have a higher number of lumens than a conventional lamp with a high wattage.
Cap / Base
Explanation
The cap/base of a bulb is the part that connects it to the socket in the fixture. In Ireland, B22 (Bayonet) caps/bases are still the most popular, although E27 (Edison screw) caps/bases are becoming increasingly popular. GU10 is the most common cap/base for spotlights. Check which cap/base you need carefully as many other types are also available.
Energy efficiency class
Explanation
Every bulb or fixture has an energy efficiency class A to G. Energy label A is the most efficient and G the least. LED lighting is the most sustainable lighting technique. Even if a LED bulb is rated E or lower, they still save 70% of energy compared to conventional lighting with the same energy label. Why is it the same label then? To motivate LED brands to get even more durable.
Any Lamp all-in warranty
Explanation
Our all-in warranty is fully included in the product price and covers both hidden defects and technical defects of the product that occurred before delivery. The warranty period differs per product and ranges from 1 year to a maximum of 5 years.

Why are Philips fluorescent tubes a good choice?
Philips has been a major player in the lighting market for many years. In the area of fluorescent tubes, Philips has a diverse range that still enjoys great popularity due to the high product quality, even despite LED technology. Philips offers TL-D (T8), TL5 (T5), T12, mini tubes and even round fluorescent tubes.
What characterises the Philips Super 80 Master fluorescent tube?
Super 80 TL tubes from Philips are known for their high colour rendering of 80-89 Ra and high luminous efficacy. The tubes are therefore suitable for offices, public spaces and industrial areas. The fluorescent tubes also have a lower mercury content compared to other Philips fluorescent tubes. Their highly efficient coating ensures good light distribution. Another advantage: these tubes can be operated with a conventional or electronic ballast, the latter ensuring higher efficiency.
Tip: Learn how to measure the length of your fluorescent tubes correctly in our blog.
Why should I choose the Master TL5 High Efficiency tube?
The name of this Philips TL tube gives it away: this fluorescent tube is particularly efficient! In terms of lamp efficiency, one looks at the energy consumption (watts) in relation to the light output (lumens). With Master HE tubes, this is at least 89 lumens per watt and a maximum of 104 lumens per watt, which is well above the standard (65 lm/W). From this you can immediately see that this fluorescent tube has an economical energy consumption for the high amount of light it produces. This product line is therefore ideal for use in offices, shops, schools, public buildings and industry. Note: You need an electronic ballast to use it.
