SimpleTube is American Bright Lighting’s second-generation LED replacement lamps capable of replacing inefficient T-8 fluorescent tubes in large-scale retail refrigerators and freezers. The Improved series offers up to 79% power savings over the commonly used fluorescent tube ballast combinations and, due to lower heat emissions, reduces strain and demand on refrigeration compressors and controls. The patented series is the industry’s most efficient, consuming as much as 50% less power than comparable LED units from other manufacturers. The SimpleTube series requires no external or remote power supply and can be wired directly to standard 120VAC line voltages further reducing installation and maintenance costs. The series boasts a power factor of 0.99 and total harmonic distortion (THDi) of less than 15%. Power consumption ranges from 14.5W for the 5-foot end unit to just under 35W for the 6-foot center unit. Additional benefits of the second-generation SimpleTube lamps are ease of installation, longer lifetimes, lower maintenance costs, comprehensive five-year warranty, and significantly better lumen maintenance over the service life.
