Bi-Pin Base Tubular Light Bulbs
Brightness is measured in lumens; the higher the lumens, the brighter the bulb. Color rendering index (CRI) is a measurement on a scale of 0-100 of how accurately the light from a bulb represents an object's true colors; the higher the number, the more natural the colors appear. Any CRI value over 80 will show colors true to life. Bulbs with a warm light appearance have yellow tones. Bulbs with a neutral light appearance are often used in workspaces. Bulbs with a cool or daylight appearance have white/blue tones and are good for inspecting. A bulb’s estimated yearly cost is based on 3 hours of usage per day at $0.11 per kWh.
LED bulbs last longer and are more efficient than fluorescent bulbs. They generate little heat and withstand vibration. Plastic bulbs are shatterproof. Socket-ready bulbs work with most instant-start electronic ballasts, but not all. For a full list of compatible ballasts select a part number and view product detail. Ballast bypass bulbs eliminate the need for a ballast so the socket must be wired directly to the power source.
Plastic-coated glass bulbs are shatter resistant; the coating retains glass shards if they break.

Backlight Panel Kits
Illuminate signs and keyboards with a thin panel that's backlit by a circuit board of LED chips. Use the kit to light an existing display or print a custom design directly on the panel. Circuit boards have power connections on both ends; connect one end to a power source and cap the unused connection. To create two backlit panels, cut the circuit board in two and connect each half to a power source.
