In short
LED tubes are a quick lamp swap, while a full retrofit replaces the internal gear with a dedicated LED engine and driver for better performance and a renewed warranty.
| LED tubes | Full retrofit | |
|---|---|---|
| What changes | Lamp only | Engine, driver, optional diffuser |
| Old gear | Often left in | Replaced |
| Performance | Limited by fitting | Engineered |
| Warranty | Lamp only | Renewed 5 years with reLUMEN8 |
