Our "always on" T8 LED tube is designed for continuous use, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.  Many manufacturers of LED tubes claim 50,000 hours (5.7 years) as the life of their lights. When lights are on 24/7 this claim often does not live up to reality. The reason is that the electronics within the light (not the LEDs) fail early. Our "always on" T8 LED tube has addressed this by using special components in the internal isolated driver. For example we use a capacitor from Rubycon in Japan. Rubycon has been producing capacitors since 1952 and are regarded as one of highest quality producers in the world. We also use an integrated circuit from Silergy, a Silicon Valley company, creating an electronic driver with outstanding performance and resilience. 

The chips are from Epistar, a Taiwanese company who is the largest global producer of LED chips (measured by production capacity). These chips are packaged into a high quality SMD2835 LED by Runlite one of Epistar biggest partners.

Finally the tube is assembled in a state of the art factory that is also the Original Equipment Manufacturer for LED Tube Lighting Pty. Ltd. as well as many of the biggest names in the LED industry.
