An illumination device for use in place of a conventional fluorescent tube, for example to illuminate the facia 4 of a drinks vending machine, comprises a plurality of elongate modules 11, each of which includes an array of wide-angle white LEDs. The modules are joined end to end by connectors (19, Fig 5). The apparatus has a plug (21, Fig 6) so that it can be fitted into a socket for a fluorescent tube, and it may include a transformer to provide a 12 volt supply for the LEDs. The LEDs last longer than a corresponding fluorescent tube and produce less heat, and the modular nature makes the apparatus easier to transport. |
