* Energy Saving is based on a comparison with CELMA Class C ballast for T8 and Class A3 ballast for T5
** Effective Lumens allows for the fact that approximately 50% of the light emitted from a fluorescent in a standard reflective
ceiling fitting is wasted by not being directed downwards, whereas the more directional 120° spread of the LED tube light is fully utilised.

Relux Lighting Ltd is a specialist UK designer of LED lighting products. We
have been at the forefront of electronics design for lighting for a decade,
producing award winning ballasts for fluorescent lights and, over the last
three years, dedicating ourselves to the goal of producing truly reliable,
high performance, market leading LED lighting tubes.
Offering an unrivalled combination of excellent performance and unique features.
A patented microprocessor controlled driver enables ultra efficiency; total
reliability by active regulation of LED temperature; full compliance to EU
harmonics standards; and true direct replacement with no wiring changes.
RELUX LIGHTINGTHE INFORMED CHOICE
High performance, cost effective energy saving
OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE• Genuine 94 lm/watt real output
• Excellent power factor - 0.975
• Uniquely, fully compliant harmonics incl. <25W
• Ambient sensor and presence detection
• Fully dimmable - standard trailing edge,
optional DALI
• Only tube that allows direct replacement
for series lamps
TOTAL SAFETY• End connectors not live during installation
• No metal tubing – no risk of shock
TOTAL RELIABILITY• Zero current in-rush & no power capacitors
– low stress so long driver life
• LED life and maintenance of light output
optimised by close temperature control
Relux Lighting SmartTube Competitors
Product Range Fully comprehensive model range – all T5, T8, T10 & T12 sizes; 220/240V ac supply and specialist 24V & 120V dc tube range fully approved for rail transport; low voltage linkable strip range; emergency light range.Tube material available in glass or plastic, clear or diffused.
Limited range, mostly T8’s – no T5.Some 24V versions available but no known 120V.Both clear and diffused tubes available with wide variation in optical performance (losses).
Special Capabilities Unique series lamp for ‘Quad’ fittings; ambient sensor; fully dimmable; DALI options
No tubes available which offer these features.
Driver Type &
Performance
Unique patented microprocessor controlled driver with active temperature control, ultra low losses giving low heat - (max 1.5W for 4ft T8); uniquely zero current in-rush; full power factor/harmonic correction – including <25W Error logging and performance monitoring.
Variety of designs - high voltage buck inverter and passive PFC stage is most common. Better ones use traditional ‘isolated’ flyback design. Basic power factor/harmonic correction only; driver losses 3-4W.
Energy Saving
(T8 4ft example)
Ultra high efficiency driver – e.g. maximum of 20W including driver losses for 4ft T8
Wide range – many reduce lumen output to get low energy. Phillips measures 24W (although marketed as 22w)
Efficacy
(Lumens/watt)
Real lamp output accounting for all losses is 94lm/W for clear tubes and 84.6lm/W for diffused.
Wide variation from 40lm/W to max of 75lm/W. Phillips 4ft T8 is 52lm/W & 2ft is 68lm/W. Most claims greatly overstated.
Reliability Zero current in-rush plus no high power capacitors means low stress on driver plus high quality components gives long, reliable driver life.Active control of LED junction temperature ensures full specified life and light performance of LEDs is achieved
Erratic temperature control means variable, unpredictable LED life and maintenance of light levels and colour performance.
Driver design inherently not capable of matching claimed LED chip lives – driver will fail well before LEDs.
Protection Fused with intelligent ramped start, plus unique fully monitored and regulated temperature control to protect LEDs
Some fused. Crude and unpredictable temperature control through heat sinking.
Safety & Legality Legal & safe: no metal tubing & no live ends so no risk of shock; internal fusing; full harmonic compliance allows legal use in all multi-lamp fittings
Many use half aluminium tube with inherent risk of shock and non-compliance to EU standards. Lack of harmonic compliance <25W obviates legal use in multi fittings.
Ease/cost of
Installation
True, unskilled, direct replacement with no wiring mods (no electrician required) across full range of fittings including magnetic & electronic ballasts and emergency fittings; series wired ‘Quads’; emergency;Correct tube diameter for T8 i.e. 25-26mm; end caps fully adjustable for angle so non-vertical holders supported.
For Switch-start, virtually all require rewiring to remove ballast. None provide direct replacement for fittings with electronic ballasts, requiring extensive rewiring by qualified electrician. Many tubes have oversized diameters limiting their applicability. Adjustable end caps are rarely available and of low quality.
Cost – Payback
Periods
Life of 50k hours for the lamp & high reliability driver, plus low installation cost (no engineer required) plus lamp cost consistent with market norm provides most competitive payback
Claimed lives of around 50k hours are unattainable with the driver technology employed and high installation costs mean high ownership costs.
Relux Lighting has been supplying LED tube lamps since early 2008
when high power LEDs of sufficient quality first became commercially
available for general lighting applications. With many thousands
of lamps now successfully installed throughout the UK in a wide
variety of both interior and exterior applications, we have an enviable
performance record and longevity. Three years of fault free operation to
date for early installations is testimony to our design and build quality.
This extensive experience supported by comprehensive insurance
backed warranties ensures customers can be confident that our
products will perform reliably to specification for their full quoted lives.
The flexibility of our patented designs allows direct replacement
of fluorescent tubes in virtually any existing application from the
ubiquitous ‘Quad’ fitting found in many offices, schools and hospitals,
to the fittings in many workshops, and beyond to specialist areas such
as transport and retail display. Examples can be seen in the pictures.
