LED Light Bulbs - Tubular Shape (2024)

FAQs

Why won't my LED light bulb work? ›

One common reason LED lights may not turn on is due to a faulty power source. Please check if your LED lights are plugged in and that the power source is functioning normally. Additionally, check the power cord for damages or loose connections. Another reason LED lights may not turn on is due to a faulty LED bulb.

LED tube lights are typically more energy efficient and have a longer lifespan than LED bulbs. They also typically provide a more even distribution of light, making them ideal for commercial and industrial settings. However, LED tube lights can be more expensive upfront and may require special installation.

As long as the mounting base (socket) is the same size and type, you can use an LED bulb in an existing fixture. If the mounting base isn't the same size and type, the LED bulb will not fit the socket. You should never use a bulb with a higher wattage than what is recommended for the fixture.

One of the main causes that lead to LED tube failures is improper installation, such as poor wiring. Wiring problems may cause some other electrical issues, like short circuits or incontinuous voltage and if the LEDs are hooked up to a driver these can damage both the drivers as well.

Flickering and dimming issues with LED lighting can be a concern for users. Low quality LED bulbs and drivers are more likely to experience flickering issues. Problems can also occur in high-quality lights if mistakes are made in the installation process. Another cause for this issue is loose electrical connections.

LED light bulbs are safe to use in the majority of fixtures and fittings. There are some applications where specific LED bulbs should not be fully enclosed because they can overheat, which results in the bulb burning out prematurely.

Mechanical or thermal stress, as well as a reaction with outgassing materials can cause failures in the internal construction of an LED.

LEDs consume far less electricity than incandescent bulbs, and decorative LED light strings such as Christmas tree lights are no different.

LED T8 lights can be housed in lighting fixtures that accommodate T8 fluorescent bulbs, as their size is the same. The only differences are in the light produced.

The 'lead' would get the award for the best metal for piping but one reason—lead poisoning. Lead poisoning is also known as Saturnism and Plumbism. You can be infected when you ingest or inhale dangerous amounts of lead usually from your water supply.

WHAT LED bulb equals 100 watts? ›

Therefore, as long as the LED lamp's actual wattage and heat released is less than the socket or fixture rating, you should not encounter any issues.

However, a few types of fixtures do not work with LED bulbs. This can majorly be because you have a dimmable fixture with an inbuilt dimmer, but your LED bulb doesn't seem to be compatible with the fixture. In that case, the light will tend to flicker, dim down eventually, and will not perform well at all.

If your LED light is not working but has power, it could be due to a faulty pin connection. This issue can be resolved by replacing the pin connection. To identify if this is the problem, disconnect the pin and examine it. Often, these pins can be bent or improperly connected.

Dead LEDs:

This could be due to a weak connection, manufacturing defects, or improper handling that may have caused physical damage. Dead LEDs or sections may require the replacement of the faulty part or even the entire strip. However, if a loose connection is the cause, fixing the connection can solve the problem.

If the LEDs will not light up at all, then this could be down to a faulty power supply. Solution: If you have several power supplies, then try a different power supply onto the same strip to see if this now works. If it does, then you have a faulty power supply and will need a new one.
