When it comes to replacing old PLC lamps, many customers wonder whether they should continue using traditional PLC lamps or switch to LED PLC lamps. The answer is: it depends on your fitting, your ballast, your budget and the result you are looking for.
What is a PLC Lamp?
A PLC lamp is a compact fluorescent lamp commonly used in commercial buildings, offices, hotels, motels, corridors, bathrooms, stairways and general indoor lighting areas.
These lamps are usually available with 2-pin or 4-pin bases and often work with a ballast inside the fitting.
What is an LED PLC Lamp?
An LED PLC lamp is a modern replacement option designed to provide better energy efficiency, longer life and lower maintenance compared to traditional fluorescent PLC lamps.
LED PLC lamps can be a great solution when you want to upgrade your lighting without changing the whole fitting. However, compatibility is very important.
