\"EverLEDTwo days ago Philips Lighting announced<\/a> availability of the Philips InstantFIT LED T8 product line; a bulb designed with zero installation cost. Six years ago LEDdynamics,<\/a> Inc. was the first to announce<\/a> the release of a T8 Tube that worked with an existing electronic ballast – also with zero installation cost. In fact Popular Science Magazine awarded them “Best of 2007 Innovation Award<\/a>” in the Green Tech category.<\/p>\n

Six years later, LEDdynamics is selling and manufacturing two options of their EverLED T8 – the TR version is available with Philips Luxeon LEDs, Nichia LEDs or Cree LEDs; it also has an industry leading 10-year warranty. The VE line uses a Nichia LED that provides significant savings\/lumen and comes with a 5-year warranty. In the Philips announcement their bulb comes with a 4-year warranty. We called their distributor for pricing, but reached an answering machine. The EverLED VE is $68.99.<\/p>\n

LEDSupply will exclusively carry the US made EverLED T8 Bulb – on our webpage we have both the TR and VE options, all the technical information, along with a robust ROI calculator.<\/p>\n
