Replacement florescent light

valleyboy22

Hi,

I have seen you can buy LED replacement tube lighting which can replace a florescent one, and is a straight swap.

I have seen these

2 x Auralum® 5 Ft 24W White 2835 144 LEDs T8 Transparent Cover LED Tube with LED Starter [Energy Class A+]

They are on Amazon and you replace the started motor with the one provided and swap the light.

Has anyone experienced there please or something similar that will straight swap my kitchen light.
Only concern at moment is that i read the LED strip faced down so the light like the florescent tubes dont go all away around.

Any advice would be much appreciated thanks

I've replaced a couple with LED replacements, the light seems pretty even around most of the tube.

My 36W fluorescent tube produces 3350lm. The LED tubes I've found claim to be equivalent, but are producing only 1600-2500lm.

Fed up of the yellow effect from the light in our kitchen,

I replaced the fluorescent in my kitchen. A direct replacement in the current fitting and brighter, no flicker, comes on instantly and far lower consumption. I bought mine from one of the online sellers - LEDHut I think.

Thanks for the replies.

I have noticed LEDHut sell this

This is the correct size for me, but i emailed the company and they said i need to check what kind of ballast i have? The one i seen from Amazon comes with a starter motor for it, but i only want one not 2 tubes because it will be cheaper.
