How offices and business premises benefit from G13 LED lamps
G13 LED lamps have been manufactured to replace the traditional, less energy efficient G13 fluorescent lamps and deliver a decisive savings and environmental benefit. Lights with a G13 socket are regularly used in commercial applications in particular. Fluorescent lamps guarantee wide-area illumination of conference tables, hallways, basements, corridors and industrial areas thanks to their tubular, very long design. Comparable luminaires are used in public stores and facilities, for example in supermarkets or hairdressing salons. All these companies have one thing in common: the long operating time of the light sources. Artificial light is essential throughout the day, which makes lighting a major cost factor. To minimize this and do something good for the environment by reducing CO2 emissions and waste production, G13 LED lamps were developed as a replacement for fluorescent lamps - as a so-called retrofit.
What does retrofit mean in connection with G13 LED lamps?
The G13 LED lamps have been designed to replace fluorescent lamps without the need to purchase a new luminaire. G13 LED lamps fit into the G13 sockets of the existing luminaires. Of course, it is also necessary to take a look at the correct version of the replacement bulb here, as different G13 luminaires use different lengths of G13 fluorescent lamps. When replacing the light source from fluorescent lamp to LED, it is also important to check the information on the respective article to see whether it is compatible with the ballast and starter already installed. If all this applies, switching from fluorescent lamps to LEDs can save between 50 and 60 % energy - a great savings advantage. Light sources that make it possible to switch to a new lighting technology without having to replace a luminaire are called retrofits. They are now available for almost every conventional frame. With E27 incandescent lamps, for example, switching to E27 LED lamps is even more lucrative. Up to 90 % energy and costs can be saved by switching to LED lamps. LED lamps also have a longer service life. Insert and operate maintenance-free is the motto of high-quality LED products. You can find more information on the expected service life in the product details under "Average service life".
Switch on and get maximum brightness immediately - how G13 LED lamps fulfill what fluorescent lamps could not deliver
Switching on and immediately having light in the room - with many fluorescent lamps and corresponding luminaires, this was an impossibility. The initial flickering and buzzing is caused by failed start attempts, which require a very high starting energy each time. It often took many seconds for the light source to respond and light up. This shortcoming is completely eliminated with G13 LED lamps. Due to the changed, improved lighting technology, LED lamps start immediately with maximum brightness. There is also no need for a start-up time in which the luminous flux (brightness) first increases continuously (as with many energy-saving lamps). In the days of the fluorescent lamp, the long lead time was accepted - after all, the lamp was supposed to burn for a long time and the start was less important. LED lighting technology, on the other hand, makes both possible: instant start and long operation. This also makes it possible to use them with motion detectors: LED lamps react immediately to motion detection with maximum brightness and can be switched on and off very frequently during the day without any significant loss of service life due to the immensely high switching resistance of high-quality products. The use of G13 LED lamps is therefore an attractive, cost-saving and virtually maintenance-free option for areas that are only partially used, such as corridors.
G13 LED lamps for hobby rooms - Saving for private users
However, the higher energy efficiency class of the G13 LED lamps also offers a savings advantage in places where light does not need to shine constantly throughout the day. In hobby rooms, for example, light is needed for a long time, but not always. Nevertheless, the higher purchase costs for LED lamps quickly pay for themselves. Not only for your wallet, but also for the environment. This is because a longer service life and lower energy consumption reduce CO2 emissions and waste production. The former ensures active climate protection by every LED user. The latter also reduces the burden on the environment, as G13 LED lamps do not contain mercury. Although they are considered electronic waste once they have reached the end of their service life and must be disposed of accordingly, the absence of mercury compared to conventional fluorescent lamps is a clear advantage for the environment - and against the worry that one of the light sources could be damaged. In this case, no harmful substances are released and there is no need to dispose of the remains.
High luminous flux (lumens) even with LED equivalents
We still often hear the prejudice that LED lamps are dimmer than conventional light sources. The starting point for this false assumption is the significantly lower power consumption. But this is precisely the advantage of LED lamps: despite lower energy consumption, the same brightness values are achieved as with other, conventional types of light source. G13 LED lamps with a power consumption of just 20 watts, for example, are able to generate around 2,000 lumens of luminous flux, whereas fluorescent lamps require around three times as much energy. So if you want to replace your old fluorescent tubes with LED lamps, you can do so with a clear conscience.
