Hi. Need help of you guys.

Where can I find Philips Ecofit T8 Warm White type as it is not available in some of the shops. I'm from Penang.

Planning to buy one to fix in my kitchen.

Thanks.

Fix T8 LED Tube Warm White on kitchen ceiling.

Planning to save electricity and make less maintenance.

All the rooms and hall use Philips Ecofit T8 Cool Daylight.

Toilet use Ledus T8 Tube Cool Daylight.

Thanks.

any different between Philip VS ledus T8 tube in lm? both 20w?
some brand of T8 tube ..colour may look different even same w..

what's the current light type at your kitchen ceiling ?
thanks ..

Both same lumens. Ledus more brighter. As Ledus got 2ft available on my area so put both them in the toilet.

For Philips Ecofit is the 16w type.
For Ledus is the 10w type

Philips - 4ft
Ledus - 2ft

My current light type is the normal fixture with ballast and starter.
Take out existing starter and tube.
Replaced with the new starter and tube.

To fix into existing fixture, the tube light AC input must be position on the left side. Opposite side won't work as the tube light will blink. Trying to find warm white T8 as not all the shops carry this type with starter. Will get the 20w because 16w no warm white.

Thanks

Hi, any shops in Bayan Lepas, Penang that sells LED Starter Fuse itself as when I open my box.
The LED Starter missing from the box itself and planning to install. The tube light unable to work without LED Starter.
No point for me to buy the whole thing the product cost RM 25++

Thanks.

16w VS 10w both same lumens?

Different lumens. If same length will be the same.
What I mean is that LEDUS is brighter. Using Light bulb also very bright.
You are using 20W type? How much you bought per set?
Mine is RM 15 per set.
Thanks.

Hi, bright enough to cover the whole room?
Mine is 16W. Still acceptable.

Heard of one china brand LED T8 which is FSL.
Which my condo is using for parking lot and around the building.
This tube doesn't need starter. I wanna buy got starter wan so I can know whether can work or not.
Wanna buy the warm white but only have the 20W only and I'm not confident to order online.

If you are planning to install other LED Tube that uses starter.
The Philips EMP Starter can be use for other type of T8.
Tried the Philips EMP Starter to LEDUS T8 and vice versa still works.

Now gonna find one shop to get the LED Starter Fuse as my LEDUS T8 Starter missing out from the box.

Thanks.

Using fluorescent lamp casing with starter.

Don't wanna do wiring. Too dangerous.
I don't perform all these kind of things.
Will buy the T8 LED Tube Starter Fuse if I can find.

Thanks.
