The traditional T8 lamps need to be equipped with a starter and an electromagnetic ballast. After switching to an electronic ballast, the starter is no needed, T8 lamp still the first choice for fluorescent lamps.
The Advantages of T8 Lamps
- The diameter of T8 tube is about 26mm, concentrated lighting
- High luminous efficiency – higher proportion of the consumed energy is converted into visible light, and less heat energy and wasted.
- Low energy consumption and long lifespan – The lifespan is about 10 to 20 times longer than traditional bulbs.
- Low cost – even though the purchase cost of the lamp is higher than the general lamp, the saved energy, electricity cost and longer life are converted into a relatively lower cost

The fluorescent tube is a flickering light source, and its flickering frequency is related to the frequency of the driving voltage. Although the human eye is not easily aware of it, it can produce a strobe effect, which may be dangerous in some working environments. Antron T8 fluorescent electronic ballast uses high-frequency lighting, the frequency of output driving voltage has been greatly increased, and the flickering frequency of the fluorescent tube has also been increased accordingly. The human eye is no longer affected by this high-frequency flicker.
