SAFETY LIGHTING: Tubes BACK TO PRODUCT SELECTION Safety Tube / Shrinkwrap Safety Tubes - Coated Fluorescent Tube - FEP Teflon + Polycarbonate / PET EncapSulite have been supplying covered fluorescent tubes to the food and associated industries since the late 1960s. Today Encapsulite offer both Clear Polycarbonate Over-Sleeves and Coated Fluorescent Lamps. The Coated tubes have been supplied with both PET and Polycarbonate coatings. Both these coatings are suitable for lamps with a life expectancy of up to 8,000hrs maximum, but will vary from location to location. Unfortunately both these coatings have a limited life and will show signs of degradation within a short period of time. With this in mind, and taking in to account the new ROHS recycling charge that will be applied to every lamp sold, and the labour costs involved with re-lamping, Encapsulite are now promoting the use of FEP coated lamps. FEP Teflon is the ultimate coating for fluorescent lamps. Quite simply, the material will outlast the life of the lamp, regardless of the environment, whether it is in an open or enclosed fitting, or subject to a hot or cold environment. FEP lamps can be used in IP65 light fittings, and only lose as little as 1% of the light, giving you 99% transmission. As the FEP coating will last in excess of 50,000 hours we will only use the material on triphosphor lamps as these have an expected life of 20,000 hours. With the life expectancy of a halophosphor tube only 8-10,000 hours there would be no benefit in coating these tubes in a more expensive material. Here we supply Polycarbonate Shrinkwrap for T8 and T12 tubes. FEP coatings will not discolour or degrade and still contain glass should a lamp break at the end of its life, creating peace of mind for users and contractors, creating a better environment for everyone.
