LED TUBE T8 UNIVERSAL

Product Overview

The LED TUBE T8 UNIVERSAL is designed as a direct replacement for T8 fluorescent lamps with G13 bi-pin bases. It is compatible with luminaires operating on electronic control gear (HF), electromagnetic control gear (EM), or directly on mains voltage (220-240V). This guide provides essential information regarding installation and operation.

Important Note: It is mandatory to operate OSRAM LED tubes only with compatible ECGs listed on the LEDVANCE website. LEDVANCE is not liable for issues arising from the use of non-compatible or unlisted ECGs.

Key Features and Considerations

Compatibility: Operates with HF, EM, and Mains voltage systems. Always check the compatibility list on the LEDVANCE website before installation.
Installation: Detailed instructions are provided for installation with compatible HF ballasts, directly on mains voltage (without ballast), and with EM (CCG) ballasts.
Temperature Range: The operating temperature range for the LED TUBE T8 UNIVERSAL is restricted. Consult the product datasheet for specific temperature information and measure Tc points as indicated on the product.
Light Distribution: Unlike traditional fluorescent tubes that emit light in a 360° pattern, the LED TUBE T8 UNIVERSAL emits light with a limited beam angle. This may alter the luminaire's light characteristics.
Application: Designed for general lighting applications. Not suitable for use in explosive atmospheres or emergency lighting applications.
Starter Replacement: For installations on Mains voltage or with EM ballasts, the existing starter in the luminaire must be replaced with the provided UN LED starter.

Installation Instructions Summary

The document provides detailed, multi-language instructions for various installation scenarios:

Installations on HF (ECG) compatible ballast: Requires checking compatibility and following specific wiring steps.
Installations on Mains (without ballast): Involves cutting wires, removing the existing ballast, and connecting directly to the mains.
Installation on EM (CCG) ballast: Specific wiring and connection procedures for electromagnetic control gear.

Visual diagrams illustrate the connection steps for each installation type.
