1. Mercury Free—Unlike fluorescents, LEDs contain no mercury. This makes them safe for the environment and results in no recycling fees.
2. Better Efficiency—The newest T8 LEDs are around 30% more efficient than traditional T8.
3. Quality Light—Today’s LEDs produce light in a variety of color temperatures similar to fluorescent, but don’t have any flickering issues that can happen with fluorescent.
4. Lifespan—The average life of a T8 LED is 50,000 hours, versus only 30,000 hours for an average traditional T8. One thing to keep in mind though is that there are now linear fluorescent T8 lamps that last up to 84,000 hours.
