DirectLED FL Series for General Illumination

EarthLED FL series  are well-suited for use anywhere: homes, offices, museums, galleries, shop windows, hotels, restaurants, meeting rooms, just like conventional fluorescent lights.

DirectLED FL Series for Task Lighting

Task lighting is required for visually intensive environments, such as reading, writing or some kitchen countertop use. The great light quality of DirectLED FL makes your task lighting more effective and easier on your eyes. Locating DirectLED FL underneath your cabinets, shelves, office cubicles etc, can allow you to achieve an ideal task lighting setup. Furthermore, the linear profile of DirectLED FL is also unobtrusive to the design environment allowing them to be integrated anywhere a standard fluorescent is used.

DirectLED FL Series for Display Lighting and Signage

Good light quality and low heat generation makes DirectLED FL a great green alternative for display lighting. No longer worry about heat damage to your valuable merchandise displayed on your counter. You will also be surprised at the ideal display light cast by the quality light output of the DirectLED FL Series. 

DirectLED FL is also an excellent candidate for signage back lighting. Since DirectLED FL series feature high output, only a small quantity of DirectLED FL tubes need to be utilized on a even a large billboard or sign. DirectLED FL allows you to instantly make your advertising and messaging energy efficient and Earth friendly.

Built to a Higher Standard.

Since introducing LED based fluorescent tube replacements more than a year ago, we've seen plenty of low quality LED tubes hit the market. Unfortunately these are cheaply made at best and dangerous at worse. All of our DirectLED FL products are built to withstand the unique daily demands of tube lighting.

Lets take a look at our DirectLED FL side by side with some of the other products you may have seen (DirectLED FL on right, low cost generic competitor on left):

Most LED Tubes on the market utilize inexpensive plastic tubing shoddily fitted over low quality plastic end caps. This leads to a product that feels quite flimsy. You can even notice this competitor using a plastic film to hide the electronics inside the tube. DirectLED FL uses a solid aluminum heatsink backing, frosted tubing and solid endcaps. The DirectLED FL series is completely flame retardant and built to CE and UL compliant standards.

The top side of the tube reveals the competition uses low quality plastic tubing creating a dismal & dirty looking light. DirectLED FL uses a proprietary frosted tubing to better duplicate the look of traditional fluorescent tubes.  We dare you to tell the difference between a DirectLED FL and standard fluorescent tube once installed!

Things aren't any better on the inside either, notice the LED circuit board that "floats" freely in the tube with no provisions for heat dissipation. The tubing itself is very flexible and bends easily. DirectLED FL tubes are rigid and do not flex. In short DirectLED FL is built for demanding real world use. The competition? Who knows!

Ballast Free Installation For Even More Power Savings.

The DirectLED FL Series does not require the use of a ballast thus allowing you to save even more energy. As an added benefit there is no ballast to break or fail ensuring even longer life. No ballast also means that the DirectLED FL can be used in T8, T10 or T12 fixtures for the ultimate in compatibility. Installation is simple but does require basic wiring knowledge. Simply disconnect or bypass the ballast during installation to install the DirectLED FL. *If you do not feel comfortable with this type of basic wiring, please call an electrician. *
