LED Fluorescent Tube 120cm

A 120cm LED fluorescent tube is the most commonly used size for replacing traditional fluorescent lighting. This length of 120 cm (1200 mm) is common in offices, schools, shops, and other commercial spaces. Thanks to the combination of high light output and low energy consumption, a 120cm LED fluorescent tube is a smart choice for those who want to save on energy costs without compromising on light quality.

Why choose a LED T8 120cm tube?

A 120cm LED T8 tube offers several advantages over traditional fluorescent lighting:

• Up to 50–60% energy savings
• Efficiencies up to 140+ lumens per watt
• Long lifespan up to 50,000 hours
• Instant full light without flickering
• Less maintenance and lower replacement costs

Within the assortment, you can choose from various models, depending on the desired light intensity and application.

Choosing Light Colour: 3000K, 4000K or 6000K

The right light colour is crucial for the atmosphere and functionality of a space:

• 3000K T8 120cm (warm white): suitable for reception areas and hospitality
• 4000K T8 120cm (neutral white): ideal for offices and shops
• 6000K T8 120cm (cool white): perfect for workspaces and warehouses

Some models are equipped with a CCT switch, allowing you to easily switch between multiple light colours.

Suitable Applications for 120 cm LED Tubes

The 120cm LED fluorescent tube is the standard choice in many indoor spaces and is widely used in:

• Offices and workspaces
• Schools and classrooms
• Shops and retail environments
• Practice rooms and public buildings

Due to its versatility and common size, this is often the first choice when renovating or replacing existing fluorescent lighting.

Replacing a 120cm LED fluorescent tube: what should you pay attention to?

Replacing a fluorescent tube with an LED variant is simple, but pay attention to the following points:

• Check if the fixture is suitable for T8 tubes (G13)
• Remove or replace the LED starter if necessary
• Check if the fixture works with conventional ballast or directly on 230V
• Ensure a safe installation

How to know if a 120cm LED fluorescent tube is the right choice

Before purchasing a 120cm LED fluorescent tube, it is important to check if it is the correct replacement for your current fluorescent tube. The biggest confusion often arises between T5 and T8 tubes, where both the fitting and the length differ.

A T8 tube has a diameter of approximately 26 mm and a G13 fitting. This is the standard in most existing fixtures. T5 fluorescent tubes are thinner (16 mm), have a G5 fitting, and are shorter. Where a T8 tube is 120 cm long, the comparable size of the T5 is 115 cm.

Therefore, always measure the full length of the current fluorescent tube, including the pins. If you measure approximately 120 cm, you need a T8 tube. If it's around 115 cm, it's a T5 variant. If you have a G13 fitting but need a different size than 120cm? Then you can also find with us:
