MASLEDtube #43168300 - White

This LED tube is designed to be compatible with most electronic ballasts (EVG) as a direct replacement. For fixtures with conventional ballasts (KVG/VVG), you may need to remove the ballast and wire the tube directly to the mains power, or use a specific LED starter. Always consult the installation guide for your specific ballast type.

No, the Philips MASTER LEDtube Ultra Efficiency T8 is not dimmable. It provides consistent light output at full brightness.

You can expect significant energy savings, often reducing lighting energy consumption by up to 70% or more, depending on the wattage of the fluorescent tube being replaced. For instance, a 17.6W LED tube replaces a 58W fluorescent tube, offering substantial savings.

The average nominal lifespan is 100,000 hours. This means, under typical usage (e.g., 8 hours per day), it could last over 30 years.

This tube provides a neutral white light with a color temperature of 4000 Kelvin. It has a luminous flux of 3700 lumens, offering bright illumination suitable for many professional environments.

If you are using it in a fixture with a conventional ballast (KVG/VVG) and not wiring directly to mains, a starter specifically designed for LED tubes is often required or recommended. Check the product's installation manual for details.

Philips typically offers a warranty on their MASTER LED products. Please refer to the product packaging or Philips Lighting's official website for the most current warranty information, as it can vary by region and purchase date.

This LED tube has an IP20 protection rating, meaning it is protected against solid objects greater than 12.5mm but not against water. It is designed for dry indoor environments and should not be used in damp, wet, or outdoor locations unless installed in a suitable enclosed fixture that provides adequate protection.

Ensure the power is turned off before checking connections. Verify that the tube is correctly seated in the G13 sockets. If using with a conventional ballast, check the compatibility of the ballast or ensure the LED starter is correctly installed and functional. For direct mains wiring, confirm all connections are secure.

Flickering can indicate an incompatible ballast or a failing starter. If using a conventional ballast, try replacing the starter with one specifically designed for LED tubes. If the issue persists, consider bypassing the ballast and wiring the tube directly to mains voltage, following proper electrical safety guidelines.

Check that the tube is fully seated in the sockets. Ensure the fixture's reflector is clean and properly positioned. Verify the tube is receiving the correct voltage and that the ballast (if used) is functioning optimally. Dust on the tube itself can also reduce light output; clean gently with a soft cloth.

While rated for 100,000 hours, premature failure can sometimes occur due to voltage fluctuations, extreme operating temperatures (though it has a wide range of -40 to 65°C), or incompatible ballast issues. Ensure the fixture is adequately ventilated and check for stable power supply.
