Basic Differences Between T5, CCFL, EEFL and LED Slim Light Boxes

The decision of what type of light box to buy can be somewhat
confusing if you do not analyze the unique properties that each light
box has, and weight these properties against a list of prioritized
reasons for which you are purchasing a light box. The following is a
list of things to consider when purchasing your light box.

Aesthetics: Does the look of the light box weigh heavy on your
purchasing decision? If it does, then the first choice would be that
of lamp source. Edlite offer the four lamp source slim light box [LED,
EEFL,CCFL, T5] for you choice. Then, beyond choosing lamp source, you
should look at the profile of the frame. The newest breakthrough in
light box technology is the emergence of LED's. By utilizing very
small footprint LED lamps, the frame of the light box can be reduced
down to 0.59 inches thick. This is less than 5/8" thick! This LED
light box is not even a box: It is a panel! It has a very sleek and
thin look when mounted to your wall. If I were purchasing for a high-
end department store, this is elegant look I would want to portray.
Electrical Consumption: This is not a consideration one usually puts
at the top of the priority list when purchasing light box panels, but
believe it or not, it is a very important factor. See chart below.
Who is Going to Change the Bulb? This is a very important
consideration that most purchasers don't even think about up front. Do
you have a full-time, reliable janitorial or facilities management
staff? Will you be shutting down each light box at the end of each
business day, and turning them back on in the morning? Don't kid
yourself, this virtually never happens!
a. Traditional T5 light boxes have bulbs that last about 1.5
years if you are leaving the light box on 24 hours a day, 7 days a
week. When just one of two bulbs dies, a huge cold spot [shadow]
appears on your light box. Will a janitorial person quickly take
notice, have extra T5 bulbs on hand, and come quick for a bulb change-
out? Will the box sit idle for days on end, half lit up and half in
shadows? The maintenance and bulb change-out is simple, but like
mowing your lawn or cleaning your gutters, it can be an annoying and
often procrastinated chore. So, if bulb changing is not your thing,
don't choose T5 technology
b. CCFL have a more difficult symptom: Their bulbs are very
difficult to change because they are very thin and installed into the
light box frame in an integrate manner. Unless you have a knack for
tinkering, or some craftsman-type ability, these light boxes usually
need to be returned to the factory for bulb replacement. The good
point is that CCFL bulbs will last 4 to 5 years [if leaving the light
box on 24 hours per day, 7 days per week]
c. EEFL light boxes have a life of about 50,000 hours of
life, the bulbs are easy to change, but easy to broken in the
delivery.
d. LED light boxes have a life of about 100,000 hours of
life! For all practical purposes, this light box is going to last and
last 100,000 hours divided by 8760 hours per year= 11.41 years]. You
will spend a bit more on the upfront purchase, but you will get
payback in both convenience and cost-savings from bulb replacement
(labor and materials).
