The T8 fluorescent bulb was the industry leader in refrigerated illumination ten years ago, but its inherent flaws are also slowly becoming apparent. Since the second half of 2017, LED lighting technology has drastically altered market trends. As a result, customers have started to place greater value on products’ affordability and longevity, which has led to a shift in the demand for lighting. Despite this significant shift in the market, Laidishine has consistently kept up with innovation, actively addressed consumer needs, and independently created an enhanced T8 LED light that not only achieves a performance boost but also establishes a new standard for durability and cost control. Once the target of market imitation, this groundbreaking invention not only gained widespread consumer recognition but also aided in the advancement and development of the entire refrigerator lighting sector.
The evolution of the T8 lamp at Laidishine
Since its inception, the T8 fluorescent light is named for its typical size of 8/8 inches, or roughly 26 mm.
has been the preferred option for commercial lighting, including refrigerators and supermarket shelves. However, as technology develops and consumer preferences shift, T8 fluorescent lights’ flaws, such as their fragility, potential for environmental contamination, and comparatively low energy efficiency and lifespan, will become more significant. The market began searching for more sophisticated, eco-friendly lighting solutions as a result of these shortcomings.
The diverse development of the T8 lamp
T8 lamps are always innovating and developing in response to market challenges. One significant turning point in the evolution of T8 lamps was the switch from conventional fluorescent to LED lighting.
1. T8 fluorescent tube introduction
With a lifespan of between 5,000 and 15,000 hours, the T8 fluorescent tube is a glass tube that needs an electrical ballast to function. When the light tube breaks, mercury and other dangerous gases will be released, polluting the environment. Additionally, using G13 lamp holders, which are a worldwide standard, hampered its adaptability in certain unique application settings.
2. T8-PRO tube introduction
The T8-PRO lamp emerged as LED technology matured. It uses a light-emitting diode as a light source, has a half-aluminum and half-plastic appearance, is not easily broken, and has a greatly increased energy-saving impact, with a life of more than 50,000 hours. However, due to their high cost and lack of waterproof properties, electronic components may have a shorter life when used in the refrigerator.
3. Economy—the introduction of T8S lamps
Laidishine introduced the T8 economy-T8S light to satisfy the demands of a wider range of customers. In addition to using an LED light source, it has an all-plastic look, integrated metal rails, and improved heat dissipation. It also affects service life and is not waterproof.
4. Simple—the introduction to T8L
With its entire plastic tubes and absence of integrated metal guides, the T8 compact-T8L further streamlines the design. Despite having a relatively poor lighting impact and design life, it is more reasonably priced and appropriate for usage in situations when money is tight.
The creative action of Laidishine
Laidishine has consistently kept up with innovation despite the significant shifts in the market. Given the widespread use of LED technology, the business independently created several cutting-edge T8 LED lights to enhance product performance and longevity and satisfy the demands of a wider range of customers.
1. The introduction of T8M-H
Laidishine has introduced a cost-effective integrated lamp, the T8M-H series. It overcomes the conventional pin installation method, fixed lamp card, and end cap waterproof structure design, making the entire light IP65 waterproof. This light has significantly increased life and light efficiency.
2. The introduction of T8M-V
Glass door cabinets typically have temperatures ranging from -18°C to 0°C, necessitating lighting that are both waterproof and low-temperature resistant. Laidishine unveiled the T8M-V lamp. This lamp is not only as efficient and long-lasting as the T8M-H, but it is also better suited to low-temperature environments. Furthermore, its light angle is sufficient to illuminate the center of each door, ensuring that there is no uneven lighting or darkness.
3. The introduction of T8J
In the second half of 2017, when LED lamps became increasingly popular, Laidishine responded to market shifts by introducing the T8J series compact integrated LED lamps. This lamp is not only waterproof but also very cost-effective. Once launched, the market will be in hot chase, and the company will have one of the most popular items.
A few years ago, the market was also generated from T8 low-voltage products, but the necessity for constant-voltage transformers, in theory, will result in a longer life but not stability. Customers in the high-end market need stability and energy-saving products; therefore, we have developed a number of product lines, including SNK, LBS, SPU, and LBF styles.
