FAQs

Can I use this with my existing fluorescent starter?

No, this tube requires a direct AC connection and all existing ballasts and starters must be removed.

Does this tube emit UV light?

No, the V-TAC LED tube is designed to emit zero ultraviolet or infrared radiation.

Is this tube suitable for outdoor use?

This tube is designed for indoor use. It should only be used in outdoor fixtures that are fully sealed and weather-rated.

What is the wattage of this tube?

This model consumes 14W of power.

Is the light warm or cool?

The tube provides a neutral white light output, which is balanced for both task and general lighting.

What should I do if the tube breaks?

While the tube is mercury-free, it should still be handled with care. Dispose of broken glass in accordance with local electronic waste recycling regulations.

Troubleshooting

Tube does not illuminate upon installation

Ensure the power is on and the ballast/starter has been successfully bypassed. Check that the G13 pins are fully seated in the socket.

Light flickers during operation

This often indicates a ballast was not fully removed. Verify that the tube is wired directly to the AC supply.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significantly lower energy consumption compared to fluorescent equivalents
  • Eliminates the need for flickering ballasts and starters
  • Mercury-free construction for safer disposal
  • Neutral white light output is ideal for task lighting and general office environments
  • Standardized 900mm T8 size fits most standard fixtures

Cons

  • Requires manual removal of existing ballasts and starters during installation
  • Not compatible with legacy fluorescent-only fixture circuits
  • Requires basic electrical knowledge for direct wiring bypass

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation requires bypassing the legacy fixture circuitry. Ensure power is switched off at the main circuit breaker before proceeding. Remove the existing starter and ballast, then rewire the G13 socket directly to the AC input. Always verify the fixture supports T8 G13 tubes before installation. For care, gently wipe the glass surface with a dry, soft cloth to remove dust. Do not use chemical cleaners or water, and ensure the tube is fully cooled before attempting any cleaning or maintenance.
