Traditionally, converting from fluorescent lighting to LED involved a trade-off. “Plug-and-play” solutions are quick and easy to install, but need lots of maintenance and aren’t as reliable as they should be. The more complex option is a ballast bypass rewire. This solution is more efficient and reliable, however, rewiring takes more time and can be dangerous if not done correctly.

“We saw a problem with LED retrofitting and set about solving it,” says Uluxus Founder Leo Kwok. “After much research and development, we’re pleased to introduce ULUXUS Link. Now, more customers can benefit from the unmatched efficiency and performance of UT8 LED lighting”.

 The real breakthrough is the company’s “Leo Links” hardware, which enables anyone to bypass the ballast wires without being an electrician or worrying about safety issues.

Uluxus Link is comprised of two parts — Leo Links and UT8 LED tubes. As mentioned, the installation process requires no rewiring, and the hardware is 100% compatible with all unmodified fixtures as well as single-end, double-end and non-pin modified fixtures. The first step of the process is attaching the Leo Links to the neutral and line power wires that feed to the ballast. The Leo Links’ snap closures make this a foolproof process requiring no tools. Next, the LED harness connects to the Leo Links and then the UT8 LEDs. At that point, the lights are ready to be powered on. And, if necessary, the whole process can be instantly reversed to switch back to fluorescent lighting.

Each tube produces up to 2,100 lumens at 150 lumens/watt. Plus, UT8 LEDs have three built-in brightness presets.
