How the Philips LED Tube reduces T8 energy consumption by over 50%
Regular T8 fluorescent lamps consume 36 Watts of power with a further ~9 Watts lost in the magnetic ballast. As a result, total power consumption per lamp is actually around 45 Watts.
The Philips LED tube, on the other hand, consumes just 20 Watts in total (or 10 Watts for the half-length unit). Resulting in up to 60% energy savings in some fittings.
A direct replacement with less lumens?
Lumens is a measure of total light output. It is true that the Philips LED tube produces less lumens than a modern T8 fluorescent tube.
However, regular T8 tubes release their light in all directions (360˚). Much of this light is lost in the fitting and to unused parts of the room.
The LED Tube only directs its light output downward, where it is actually needed. It has a beam angle of about 140˚ so it still spreads light throughout the room, but without losing any light to the fixture or ceiling.
