Poll on Preferred Lighting. PL vs T8 vs T5 vs MH vs LED

that is true, might end up the same once add in running cost.. feel better a bit

Yeah, though one thing that T5 lights definitely have an advantage of is ease of changing their light tubes, can be done easily within seconds.

With current fixed LED lightset designs, when time comes to refresh the LEDs (ie. around the 10+ year mark), have to remove the old LEDs and re-solder in the new LEDs, not as easy for the majority of users. I guess most LED users would either just buy another brand new lightset, or maybe go for LED lightsets that use modular pad/strip designs.

10+ year... newer technology should be available already.

[TOP LED]

Obviously LED is getting more market share because of her much lower cost and eco-friendly advantage. However Tube light will last longer than other original items.
