The Most Efficient LED Fluro Tube

This Philips Master LED Tube is the most energy-efficient replacement for fluorescent tube lights.

  • At just 10.5W of power usage, it produces a similar amount of useable light as an old 36W fluro or 18W LED tube.
  • Reduces energy consumption and lighting costs by over 70%.
  • Designed to operate for 50,000 hours.
  • No electrician is required in most cases - see the guide below.
  • Our price includes a 1200mm LED tube and LED starter.

The Philips Master LED tube fits all standard T8 light fittings that are '4 foot' (~1.2m) in length. This item replaces regular 36W fluoro tubes with a 10.5W LED.

LED Fluro Tube Lights Colour Temperature 4000K 6500K

Choose between 4000K (Cool White) and 6500K (Daylight) colour temperatures.

Reduce 4ft T8 Fluro Tube Energy Usage by 70%

Regular T8 fluorescent tubes consume 36 Watts of power, with an extra 9 Watts lost in the magnetic ballast. As a result, the total power usage per lamp is around 45 Watts.

On the other hand, the Philips LED tube light uses just 10.5 Watts in total. That's an energy saving of over 70%.

The result is an electricity cost saving of about $45 per year for every tube upgraded. This example assumes 12 hours per day of operation and an electricity tariff of $0.30/kWh.

Installation Guide - 4 Foot (1200mm) LED Fluro Tube

There are three main types of fluorescent tube light fittings in existing buildings: 

1) Magnetic ballast 'EM' fittings with starters. These are the most common type: simply replace the tube and starter (supplied), and you're done! The presence of starters quickly identifies magnetic ballast fittings.

LED Tube Installation Guide

Easy installation for any fitting with a starter.

2) Electronic ballast fittings (no starters). Unlike the above example, these fittings do not have a starter. They require an electrician to 'wire out' the existing ballast. Fluro lights without starters that come on instantly (no blinking) are generally electronic ballasts.

3) Fittings already using LED tubes. Observe the end of the Philips tube labelled L and N for these fittings and insert it in the same direction as the current tube. If your fixture has been wired correctly, the direction should not matter.

Safe & Secure Delivery of LED Tubes

You are welcome to order any number of LED tubes, but we recommend purchasing at least two to ensure reliable transportation. These Philips Master LED tubes come in cartons of 10 units. We offer a discounted price on this page for ordering in whole cartons.

These LED tubes are much safer than old fluorescent tubes. They are made from plastic rather than glass, which makes them more durable. And they contain no mercury.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are these LED tubes as bright as old fluorescent tubes?

Yes - although technically speaking, LED tubes produce fewer lumens than brand-new T8 fluorescent tubes. Old fluro tubes release light in all directions (360˚), much of which is lost inside the fitting. Fluorescent tubes also degrade over time and become very dim as they age.

Conversely, these Philips Master LED tubes only direct their light output downward (with a 190˚ beam angle) where needed. They still spread light throughout the room without losing it to the fixture or ceiling. This means they produce the same amount of useable light with less lumens. They also retain their lumen output more reliably over time.

For these reasons, many of our customers find these LED tubes are brighter than their old ones despite using 70% less energy. Read our customer reviews at the bottom of this page for more details, or buy a few to try out for yourself.

Does your price include an LED starter?

Yes - remember to check the packaging for the LED starter. It's easy to miss if you open the box at the other end!

The LED starter is essentially just a safety fuse. It replaces the old fluro starter and allows the LED tube to work in your existing light fittings without further modification.

Philips Master T8 LED Tube 10.5W

Converting from old fluorescent tubes with electronic balasts to LED in my workshop I was a little worried that the light would not be as pleasant or inferior in other ways. To maximise the chances of having a good outcome I chose these tubes for the conversion. After bridging out and removing the failing electronic ballasts and installing these in mains direct arrangement I am 100% satisfied with the outcome. Not only is there more light, but it is great in quality and easy on the eyes. Very happy with these fluoro replacements.
