Frequently asked questions about 60 cm LED tubes

Will a 60 cm LED tube fit my old fluorescent fitting?

Yes, if it is a T8 fitting with G13 lampholders (tube diameter 26 mm). If your fitting has a magnetic ballast with a starter, replace the old starter with an LED starter and fit the LED tube. If it has an electronic (HF) ballast, the ballast must be removed or bypassed and the tube wired directly to 230V. LED tube installation guide

What wattage does a 60 cm LED tube replace?

A 9W LED tube replaces an 18W fluorescent tube. Because a fluorescent fitting with ballast also consumes power itself, the real saving is 50 to 60 percent. The 200 lm/W tube set to 6W uses even less.

Is there a fitting with a plug?

Yes. The 60 cm LED tube fitting is also available as plug & play with an EU plug: insert the tube and plug it in. Handy under a workbench, in a cupboard or in a shed without a fixed light point.

How do I connect an LED tube?

Our tubes are single-end powered: live and neutral connect at one end of the tube, the other end is not connected. They work on 100 to 240V. In an LED tube fitting this is already wired correctly.

What is the difference between T8 and T5?

T8 has a 26 mm diameter and a G13 cap; T5 is 16 mm thick with a G5 cap and different lengths. A T8 tube does not fit a T5 fitting. The T5 equivalent of a 60 cm tube is 548 mm long: see T5 LED tubes 548 mm or all T5 LED tubes.

How long does an LED tube last?

They are designed for 50,000 operating hours, which is more than 13 years at 10 hours a day. All tubes come with a 5-year warranty.

Do you supply for projects?

Yes. Volume pricing applies to larger quantities and business customers can buy on invoice. Request a quote and we will be happy to work out the numbers with you.
