LED lights
- normally have a transparent plastic (polycarbonate) outer shell. Tapping them with a metal key will make a "chack" rather than a "chink" sound.
- will come on instantaneously
- are usually lighter than the glass tubes - not by much so you can't really tell without using a weight balance.
Have a look at any writing on the tube. Should tell you if it is LED or not.
ok something to go with..
Mine have a "This side up" marking, as there's an LED strip which needs to shine down.
