January 28, 2015 – Arva says its HyLite LED T8 tube lights are “the premier LED linear replacement for traditional T12, T10, and T8 fluorescent tube lights.”

The tubes are ballast and flicker-free, emit 90 per cent of their light in a 120-degree downward direction, significantly reducing lighting pollution, said the company, and can save anywhere from 50 to 75% on power compared to traditional fluorescent tubes.

Rated for 50,000 hours of lamp life, they are also easy to install, according to Arva, and are available in 2-, 4-, 5-, and 8-ft lengths, and in colour temperatures of 4000K, Neutral White (NW); 5000K Daylight (DL); and 5700K Cool White (CW).
