When you change the bulbs, you do not have to re-install the filter, unlike the tube filters.Ģ. Install once – After installation on the fluorescent light fixture, the filter never has to be touched again (except for cleaning the dust off). If you have a fixture with just two bulbs, the tube filters make more sense economically. Cost – These filters are less expensive than our overlay panel filters. Just insert the light bulb in the tube, secure with the end caps and twist into place in the fixture.Ĥ. Easy to install – If you have changed a fluorescent light bulb, you should be able to install these. If you order them for your office or school and end up moving to a different location, you can take the bulbs with you.ģ. Portability – You can always take these filters with you. However, you cannot use them with T5 high output bulbs.Ģ. Versatility – These fluorescent light filter tubes slide over standard size bulbs and work in just about every light fixture. In this post, we tackle that question and try to bring clarity between the two options.ġ.
A question we often get is which fluorescent light filter is best for my situation. At Make Great Light, we offer two fluorescent light filter products to choose from (more products coming in the future).
