Samsung today introduced the industry’s first AC Direct step-dimming LED linear replacement for T8 and T12 fluorescent tubes at the National Electrical Contractors Association (NECA) Convention 2014. Designed for use in commercial environments, the new LED Tube (L-Tube) offers an alternative to traditional fluorescent lamps to maximize energy efficiency and lower facility maintenance costs.
Unlike the current market offering, this industry-first LED Tube does not require an external driver for dimming; rather, it’s built directly into the lamp and can easily operate with existing switches.
Additional features of Samsung Self-Contained Step Dimming LED Tube include: AC Direct three level step-dimming ranging from 100 percent to 40 percent to 15 percent, Up to 50,000 hour life providing maintenance free operation, Wide beam angle of up to 220 degrees and up to 140 lumens per watt, ranked as one of the best on the DLC qualified products list.
