Need more light from a standard 5ft tube fitting? This premium 5ft LED tube light is a 1.5m T8 model rated at 30W and 3900 lumens, giving substantially more light output than Green LED's standard 5ft tube while keeping the familiar 1500mm format. It uses aluminium + milky PC construction, a 5000K daylight-white colour and carries a 5-year replacement warranty.
Quick Guide: Is the Premium 5ft LED Tube Right for You?
| Length | 1500mm / 1.5m / 5ft |
| Power | 30W |
| Brightness | 3900 lumens |
| Efficiency | 130 lm/W |
| Colour | 5000K daylight white |
| Construction | Aluminium + milky PC |
| Warranty | 5-year replacement warranty |
Why Choose the Premium 5ft LED Tube?
Designed for customers who need noticeably stronger light output from a 5ft tube.
The current product specification lists high-efficiency LED chips at approximately 130 lumens per watt.
Rated up to 50,000 hours in the current product information.
A longer replacement warranty than the standard 5ft tube.
How Much Brighter Is the Premium 5ft Tube?
The standard Green LED 5ft tube is rated at 2400 lumens, while this premium model is rated at 3900 lumens. That is about 62% more rated lumen output. The older product copy described it as “50% brighter”; the exact lumen figures are the better comparison when choosing between the two.
This makes the premium tube more suitable where stronger illumination is needed from the same 5ft footprint, such as workshops, warehouses, larger commercial areas or fittings mounted higher above the working surface.
Will This Premium 5ft LED Tube Fit My Existing Light?
The tube is 1500mm long and 26mm in diameter. Before ordering, confirm that your fitting is designed for a 5ft / 1.5m T8 tube and check the existing ballast configuration.
For compatible magnetic-ballast fittings, the current product information says an LED starter is supplied. For electronic-ballast fittings, the ballast must be bypassed or removed before the LED tube is installed.
If you are unsure which ballast you have, see our guide on how to identify magnetic and electronic ballasts.
What Does 5000K Look Like?
5000K is a bright daylight-white colour. It is commonly chosen for practical work environments because it gives a crisp appearance and good visual clarity. It is much cooler in appearance than 3000K warm white lighting.
Where Is a High-Output 5ft LED Tube Useful?
- Workshops and production areas
- Warehouses and storerooms
- Commercial workspaces
- Garages with high or dark ceilings
- Large utility areas
- Existing 5ft T8 fittings where higher light output is preferred

Frequently Asked Questions About Premium 5ft LED Tube Lights
Why is this tube more expensive than the standard 5ft version?
The premium model has substantially higher rated light output, aluminium + milky PC construction, a longer rated life and a 5-year replacement warranty.
Is it really 50% brighter?
The current rated figures are 3900 lumens for the premium tube and 2400 lumens for the standard 5ft tube. Those exact lumen figures are the clearest way to compare brightness.
Does it fit a standard 5ft T8 fitting?
The tube is 1500mm long and intended for the 5ft T8 format, but you still need to confirm the ballast and wiring arrangement of the existing fitting.
Can it replace a fluorescent tube without rewiring?
In a suitable magnetic-ballast fitting, the current product instructions provide for an LED starter retrofit. Electronic-ballast fittings require ballast bypass/removal by a licensed electrician.
Is 5000K suitable for a workshop?
Yes. 5000K is a crisp daylight-white colour commonly used for task and work areas.
How long is the warranty?
This model carries a 5-year replacement warranty according to the current Green LED product information.
Choose this 30W premium tube when you need a 1.5m T8 format with stronger 3900-lumen output and a longer 5-year replacement warranty.
