Philips Lighting unveils new LED tubes range

Philips Lighting announced a breakthrough range of universal tubes, the Philips CorePro LEDtube Universal T8, for trade customers. With this new addition, Philips Lighting now offers the broadest range of LED tubes for different applications in the industry, serving the high-end specification market with the existing MASTER Universal range and trade customers with the new CorePro Universal range.

Harnessing Philips Lighting`s expertise, Philips CorePro LED tube Universal T8 makes installing tubes as easy as it used to be with fluorescent tubes. The range is affordable compared to high-end universal LED tubes, making it the ideal alternative to standard fluorescent lights for trade customers.

Designed for simplicity, the Universal T8 tube is optimised to work with all driver technologies, fitting directly in luminaires operating on electromagnetic ballasts or HF electronic ballasts, reducing the cost of stocking different types of tubes. Philips CorePro LED tube Universal T8 can also connect directly to the mains power, bypassing the ballast. This enables additional energy savings. And by simplifying the tube selection process, it enables lighting professionals to allocate their time, expertise and resources to installing the perfect lighting for different needs.

Designed for lighting a wide variety of spaces like car parks, garages, corridors and shopping malls, the new universal LED tube delivers a high quality and reliable light along with up to 65% energy-savings, compared to the traditional TL-D fluorescents it replaces. Philips CorePro LEDtube Universal T8 will be available across Europe from May 2018.

Philips TrueForce LED Road is the world’s first ‘plug and play’ replacement SON-T LED lamp for street lighting, making it easy to upgrade existing installations to LED without having to replace the luminaire.

The new range includes TrueForce LED Urban, an LED lamp alternative for outdoor luminaires in public spaces and TrueForce LED Industrial and Retail.
