LED Tube Lights NZ – Why Quality & Compatibility Matter
Share
Looking to upgrade your old fluorescent tubes to energy-efficient LED tube lights in NZ? Before you click “add to cart,” it’s important to understand the differences between products on the market – and why choosing the right tube for New Zealand’s electrical standards can save you time, money, and hassle.
🚫 Not All LED Tubes Are Suitable for NZ
Many LED tube lights available online are designed for the North American market. These are often double-ended tubes that require live wiring on both ends – which does not comply with New Zealand’s electrical safety regulations. Installing incompatible tubes can be unsafe and may void your warranty or insurance coverage.
✅ Choose Single-Ended LED Tubes for NZ
At GreenLED, we only stock single-ended LED tubes that meet New Zealand’s standards. These are easier and safer to install, require fewer modifications to your fittings, and are fully SAA-certified.
🛠️ Installation Tip:
When retrofitting, always bypass the ballast and wire power directly to one end. A qualified electrician is recommended for safety and compliance.
