Technical Specifications Of LED Tube Light

Automatic Motion Control: 160 lm/W 4ft 18W T8 LED Tube with Microwave Sensor

Upgrade your lighting to a high-efficiency 4ft T8 LED tube designed to deliver 160 lm/W luminous efficacy while adding automatic energy-saving control with a built-in microwave sensor. This sensor-based T8 tube helps reduce wasted electricity by turning lights on when motion is detected and off when areas are vacant—ideal for warehouses, offices, corridors, schools, supermarkets back rooms, parking garages, and utility areas.

The 160 lm/W 4ft 18W T8 LED Tube with Microwave Sensor is engineered for facilities that need reliable lighting with intelligent control. Unlike manual switch systems that rely on people remembering to turn lights off, microwave sensing helps ensure lights respond to actual usage patterns. This is especially valuable in spaces where occupancy is intermittent—such as storage rooms, corridors, staff entrances, stairwells, back-of-house areas, and commercial zones where lighting often remains on longer than necessary.

Technology Deep Dive: The Power Behind the Performance

• 1. The Intelligence of Microwave Sensing: Unlike traditional Passive Infrared (PIR) sensors, our integrated **microwave sensor** offers a superior detection capability. Utilizing high-frequency electromagnetic waves, it can detect subtle movements through non-metallic objects like partition walls, glass, and thin doors. This ensures broader and more consistent coverage, eliminating blind spots common with PIR sensors. The sensor accurately detects occupancy within a typical range of 6-8 meters (adjustable settings available), automatically switching the light on when motion is detected and off after a configurable delay when the area is vacant. This smart automation ensures optimal energy use, preventing lights from staying on unnecessarily in corridors, stairwells, warehouses, and parking garages.
• 2. Unmatched Luminous Efficacy: 160 Lumens Per Watt: Achieving an astounding **160 lumens per watt (lm/w)**, this T8 LED tube stands at the forefront of energy efficiency. This high efficacy translates directly into substantial operational cost reductions. For every watt consumed, you receive 160 units of light output, meaning fewer fixtures or lower wattage fixtures are needed to achieve the desired illumination levels. This efficiency is powered by premium, high-bin **Samsung or Epistar 2835 SMD LEDs** which are meticulously selected for their consistent performance, superior color rendering, and exceptional lumen maintenance over time. Paired with an advanced optical design, light is distributed evenly and effectively, minimizing glare and maximizing usable light.
• 3. Robust Driver & Thermal Management: At the heart of this high-performance tube is a top-tier, isolated internal driver from a reputable brand like **Philips or Tridonic**. This driver ensures stable current output, preventing flickering and safeguarding the LEDs from voltage fluctuations, thereby significantly extending the product's lifespan. Advanced thermal management, utilizing an optimized aluminum heatsink, efficiently dissipates heat, maintaining the LEDs at optimal operating temperatures. This crucial engineering detail ensures the tubes exceptional **50,000+ hour L70 lifespan**, delivering consistent brightness for over a decade under typical usage, drastically reducing maintenance cycles and costs.

• • Warehouses & Storage Facilities: Optimize lighting in aisles and storage zones, activating lights only when personnel are present, enhancing safety and efficiency.
• • Corridors & Stairwells: Ensure safety and comfort with responsive lighting that activates only when needed, reducing constant energy drain.
• • Office Buildings & Commercial Spaces: Ideal for restrooms, break rooms, conference rooms, or areas with intermittent occupancy.
• • Schools & Universities: Smart lighting for classrooms, libraries, and common areas.
• • Hospitals & Healthcare Facilities: Provides reliable, flicker-free light while optimizing energy use in non-patient areas.
• • Retail Back-of-House & Utility Rooms: Practical for areas with fluctuating foot traffic.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Is this tube suitable for standard T8 fixtures??

A: Yes. This is a 4ft T8 (G13 compatible) LED tube designed to fit standard T8 lamp holders. For retrofit accuracy, confirm your fixture wiring and whether ballast bypass is required for your specific installation.

Q: How does the microwave sensor save energy?

A: The sensor automatically activates lighting when it detects motion and reduces energy use by turning off when the area is no longer occupied. This helps cut wasted hours common with manual switches.

Q: What information do I need to finalize a bulk order?

A: Provide the quantity, preferred color temperature/CCT option, and your market compliance requirements. We can then confirm the matching LED tube configuration and documentation for your project.
