If your facility currently relies on outdated gold fluorescent tubes for light-sensitive environments, there’s a new solution that offers improved efficiency, reliability, and compliance – the Light Efficient Design LBI Amber Retrofit Kit. With the upcoming bans on fluorescent lighting and growing demands for cleaner, more sustainable lighting technologies, now is the perfect time to upgrade.
Why Amber Lighting?
Amber lighting, typically in the 570nm wavelength range, is ideal for specialty applications where UV exposure must be eliminated. These include:
- Pharmaceutical manufacturing
- Cleanrooms
- Biosafety labs
- Research and development environments
- FDA-regulated bug deterrent areas
- Photochemically sensitive processes
Gold tubes have traditionally been used in these settings to minimize UV output, but they are fluorescent-based – meaning they contain mercury, are inefficient, and will soon be phased out due to regulatory changes.
Meet the Light Efficient Design Amber LBI Kit
The RP-LBI-G1-4F-15W-40K-WC-AMB is a state-of-the-art amber LED retrofit solution designed for seamless replacement of 4-foot gold tubes. This 44.5″ linear kit provides up to 4595 lumens while drawing just 10/15/25 watts, thanks to selectable wattage settings – offering high efficiency up to 187.77 lm/w.
What makes it stand out?
✅ 570nm Amber Mid-Power LEDs
Specifically engineered to produce no UV light, making them safe for UV-sensitive environments.
✅ Clean, Consistent Output
With a peak wavelength of 574nm and a high color purity of 97.3%, these kits offer stable and accurate amber light across all applications.
✅ Easy Installation
The LBI kits are designed to retrofit existing linear fixtures, minimizing downtime and installation costs.
✅ Energy Savings + Compliance
Save on energy bills and prepare for the 2026 fluorescent ban by moving to LED — all while maintaining or improving your light quality.
