T5 in T8 Fluorescent Light - 50% Energy Saving
***Electronic Ballast***
Most of the traditional T8 fluorescent tubes work together with magnetic ballast (and starter) which consumpts a lot of energy.Electronic ballast has much higher efficiency than magnetic ballast. In HBTube, the electronic ballast is integrated in the both sides of the tube. Thus, the HBTube works without external ballast ,keeping power factor over 0.95 and operationg with high frequency with low harmonic, and it can save a lot of energy.
***Applying the nano material and zero-current technology on the electrodes
The lifetime of the fluorescent tubes is higly depended on the electrodes inside. In HBTubes, the current through the electrodes is decreased to near zero, meanwhile, the electrodes are coated with new nano material. Thus the lifetime is prolonged dramatically.
***Tube-in-tube technology
It is visible that the HBTube consists of two tubes, the outter is a thick T8 transparant glass tube and the inner is a thin T5 fluorescent tube.
This structure builts one air layer between two tubes and this air layer is like constant temperature room for inner tube. It prolongs the lifetime of inner tube. Further, it decreases the surface temperature of the outter tube. Thus HBTube issues less heating and ease the load of air-condition machine in summer time to save more energy.
***Reflector inside-A fluorescent tube issues light to all directions and some of them are just wasted. In HBTube, an aluminum reflector has been integrated inside and this reflector can save part of the wasted light.
***No Flick, quick start -Unlike the traditional fluorescent and magnetic ballast which the light flickers following the low 50HZ frequency and it always takes momoment to turn on, the electronic ballast inside of the HBTube works with high frequency thus the human eyes will not feel the light flick anymore.
***Optimized design -Special split-type electric ballast technique is skillfully combined with the integral tube. Environment-friendly green design easy to change the ballast part or glass sleeve(or anti-blast-PC tube) and T5 tube.To avoid in case one of the parts unwork then have to remove the whole set of lamp.
***Long service life-High-efficient design of the electronic ballast with the excellent quality T5 tubes make sure the service life more than 16,000.00hours
