2. Setup and Installation

This LED tube is designed as a direct replacement for conventional T8 fluorescent tubes operating with electromagnetic ballasts (KVG) and a starter. Professional installation is recommended.

Safety Precautions:

• WARNING: Always turn off the main power supply at the circuit breaker before attempting any installation or maintenance.
• Ensure the power is completely disconnected and cannot be accidentally reconnected.
• Do not use with electronic ballasts (EVG). This tube is specifically for electromagnetic ballasts (KVG).
• The product has an IP20 protection class, suitable for indoor use. For outdoor applications, it must be installed in appropriate, enclosed outdoor luminaires.

Installation Steps:

1. Turn Off Power: Ensure the power supply to the luminaire is completely switched off.
2. Remove Old Tube: Carefully rotate and remove the existing T8 fluorescent tube from the luminaire.
3. Replace Starter: If your luminaire uses a starter, replace the old starter with the LED starter provided (if applicable, or ensure compatibility with the existing starter for LED tubes).
4. Install LED Tube: Insert the OSRAM LED T8 tube into the luminaire's G13 lamp holders. Rotate it until it clicks securely into place.
5. Restore Power: Turn the main power supply back on.
6. Test: Switch on the light to confirm proper operation.

3. Operating Instructions

Once correctly installed, the OSRAM LED T8 Tube Light operates like a standard light fixture. Simply use the existing wall switch or luminaire control to turn the light on and off.

• The LED tube provides instant, flicker-free illumination upon switching on.
• No warm-up time is required.
• Frequent switching on and off does not negatively impact the lifespan of the LED tube.

4. Maintenance

The OSRAM LED T8 Tube Light requires minimal maintenance due to its long lifespan and durable construction.

Cleaning:

• Before cleaning, always ensure the power supply to the luminaire is switched off and the tube has cooled down.
• Wipe the surface of the LED tube with a soft, dry, or slightly damp cloth.
• Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the tube's surface.

General Care:

• The LED tube contains no user-serviceable parts. Do not attempt to open or modify the tube.
• Ensure the operating environment remains within the specified temperature range (-20°C to +45°C).
