LED Bulb replaces glass fluorescent lighting tubes.July 24, 2007 -
Available in 5 standard shades of white ranging from daylight to warm white, EverLED TR allows existing fluorescent fixtures to be converted to LEDs by simply changing bulb. It incorporates electronic circuitry that allows LEDs to extract power from existing fluorescent ballasts regardless of technology used by ballast. Made of recyclable materials and measuring 48 in. long, T8 replacement provides equivalent light output of 40 W tube while consuming only 25 W.

EverLED TR Fluorescent Tube Replacement Allows 'Pop In' Conversion to LEDs
RANDOLPH, Vt., June 21 -- LEDdynamics announced the introduction of the EverLED TR, a revolutionary product that allows existing fluorescent fixtures to be converted to Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) by simply changing the bulb. EverLED TR utilizes the existing fluorescent ballast, while achieving the equivalent light output of the tube it replaces, making it the world's first true replacement of glass fluorescent lighting tubes.
The benefits of LED lighting technology include features such as energy savings, long service life, high quality light, and cold temperature operation. In addition to these benefits, EverLED TR does not contain mercury or lead and has no glass to break. The EverLED TR is the first commercially available product which facilitates conversion to LED technology without replacing or altering the existing light fixture.
The EverLED TR is a 48" long T8 replacement, available now in 5 standard shades of white, from daylight to warm white. The 48 inch "S" model provides the equivalent light output of a 40 watt tube while consuming only 25 watts. 24", 60", and 72" models will be available in Q3, 2007.
The EverLED TR incorporates patent pending electronic circuitry which allows the LEDs to extract power from existing fluorescent ballasts regardless of the technology used by the ballast. This technique also allows the reduction of power needed to create light and increases the compatibility of the unit with fixtures using T12, T10, or T8 diameter fluorescent tubes.
"The United States alone disposes of 620 million fluorescent tubes each year," said Bill McGrath, President of LEDdynamics. "Many of these are not disposed of properly, exposing people and the environment to toxic and hazardous materials. Before the development of the EverLED TR, there were simply no better choices. Now, anyone can convert their legacy fluorescent system and realize the benefits of clean, safe, and quality LED light.".
Made of recyclable materials and boasting a 10 year service life, the EverLED TR is leading the LED revolution. For more information please visit http://www.everledtr.com/.

cost analysis
agreed led have 50000 lifehours,what about its driver ckt, marely 3-4 years.
efect on ratina that is additional bonanza. instead use fluroscent lamp with electronic ballast, have a natural light, at maintainance cost of led light only!

LEDs do have many advantages over fluorescent lighting. However it does have drawbacks as well since it is still a fairly new technology. First, the light emitted is not as bright as fluorescent bulbs which limits their use. What's more the light is non-directional because it is emitted at a very narrow angle, so you would not be able to use LEDs to light up a wide area.
Secondly, they are quite a bit more expensive than fluorescent light, perhaps as the technology gets more common the price will decrease, but it is still rather costly. Finally there is no product standardization for the moment so when your system burns out you may have to replace the entire thing, rather than just changing the bulbs as you would for fluorescent lighting.
