Abstract: A tubular light includes a light-transmissive tube with an end cap fitted to each end. An electrical contact terminal extends from each end cap, and an array of LEDs is attached to each end cap and receives electrical power via the respective contact terminals. The LEDs are configured to emit light along the tube to impinge upon the tube internally. The tube is preferably translucent so as to glow and radiate light evenly thereabout. The light is sized and shaped to be received by, and functional with a light fitting designed for a fluorescent tube of standard form factor. An alternate configuration an elongate member located within the tube and a multitude of LEDs mounted upon the elongate member to receive electrical power via the electrical contact terminal. The LEDs are configured to emit light at a number of angularly offset radial directions toward an inner surface of the tube.
