Look into Philips Tarang Bright 20-Watt LED - Link

This should be similar to the conventional Tube Light.

Currently using conventional 40w-4Feet Tube Light, but day by day availability of spares/replacement need to rom around shops and to waste up to 2-3 hrs. for exact match.

Anything in low price than Philips, as local shops don't have Philips and warranty may be big issue if buy online.

You mean Philips has a problem with warranty if we buy online?

Hi, I mean where to claim if buy online? if you have any experience with any brand led tube light replacement (in warranty period), please share how & whom you contact & get replacement/exchange?

As I found if we buy from near by local shop the shopkeeper sign on led tube light along with date and if anything happens in a year or warranty he replaced it immediately or within 7-10 days (as per stock/company policy)

I never had any problems with any branded led lights/bulbs, so no experience with claiming warranty for these items, but always had this doubt about where to claim if warranty is required.

Most of the shopkeepers in our area/city just keep regular tubelights whichever are affordable. I had a hard time finding a smart tubelight in local shops, most of them are not even aware these exist.
I gave up and bought in amazon and they seem to work fine till now.

Have you personally used this and confirm that there's no glare issues? I am in same boat with op and have refused to replace traditional 40W tubes with leds in our place as led glare is beyond intolerable.

Can any one suggest if 20W-4 Feet Led Batten Tube Light really save 50% electricity compare to 40W-4 Feet Conventional Tube Light?

I have both at home the conventional one and the Philips Tarang Bright 20-Watt. I have taken the image from the same distance for both the lights, with exact same camera settings, fixed exposure, ISO etc. When directly looking at the conventional light there is no strain on eyes, when looking at philips one there is little, but I feel its not too much. This is probably the closest one you can get.

The top one is conventional and the bottom one is philips. The light output of the phillips is also slightly lower than the conventional, but not exactly sure though because both are in different rooms with different dimensions.

1000 thanks for help with actual pics .

I don't have through knowledge of lights/colors, but like what didn't strain my eyes and elevate headache (I have migraine issue, wasted Rs.5000/- in anti glare progressive eye glasses but no use and latter went back to normal FRAGILE glass specs [Rs.450/- only] & issue solved... OLD IS GOLD).

From above both pic, I can say Conventional have little YELLOW flare and LED (Philips Tarang Bright 20-Watt LED) have BRIGHT/WHITE and my eye may bare BOTH.

Regards

In my experience, there isn't much difference in the light of LED tubelight and regular tubelight. LED tubelights have a diffuser in front of the LED which causes the light to spread evenly, just like a regular tubelight.

Unless you have personally experienced that the light feels different, I'd say there's nothing to worry about. Just make sure the tubelight is fixed high enough that you don't look at it directly.

Also, LED Tubelights on Amazon specify the colour temperature. I see most of them as 6500k, which is regular cool white.

Can any one suggest if 20W-4 Feet Led Batten Tube Light really save 50% electricity compare to 40W-4 Feet Conventional Tube Light?

Given that 20 is 50% of 40, I'd say that goes without saying.

wasted Rs.5000/- in anti glare progressive eye glasses but no use

You have incorrect understanding of what anti glare does. Read here https://www.visioncenter.org/eyeglasses/anti-glare/

Off topic ... may be you are right.. I visit Eye Specialist for eye check-up, he prescribed glass power and ask to consult with Optician for coatings and I explain same to Optician that I just can't bear the street lights glare, Lights on shop displays, car-bike headlights etc. etc. ... and for those he suggest special coating and charge 5k

Did you manually set the White Balance so it remains constant between the two pics? Because Cool Day Light LED's should typically be "cooler temperature" colour wise i.e. look more bluish compared to a Neutral White tube light.

@Emperor try cutting a piece of white cardboard and stick it in front of your LED to block direct light from hitting your eyes. Angle the cardboard such that the light reflects towards your ceiling and you get more diffused light

That photo clears things up. Thanks for it. And it's almost impossible to accurately compare two lights from a photo but that photo did the job. The glare is quite noticeable.
Also, I love how they keep using 6500K and Cool white for same product. I mean good comedy.

I did the only lock setting that is present in iOS, I think it does lock white balance too, otherwise this option would be point less.
The official explanation is - To lock your manual focus and exposure settings for upcoming shots, touch and hold the focus area until you see AE/AF Lock
