Yes, it fits standard T8 fixtures with a G13 base. It is designed to work with electromagnetic ballasts or be wired directly to mains voltage (220-240V). Professional installation is recommended for direct mains wiring.
Using it with a ballast is a simpler replacement, but the ballast may consume extra energy. Direct mains wiring bypasses the ballast for maximum efficiency but requires electrical modification of the fixture and should be done by a qualified electrician.
4000 Kelvin (K) refers to the color temperature of the light. 'Cool White' indicates a neutral to slightly bluish-white light, which is often preferred for task lighting and general illumination in offices and commercial spaces.
The average lifespan is rated at 50,000 hours. This means, for example, if used 8 hours a day, it could last over 17 years.
No, this specific Sylvania LED Tube Light model is not dimmable.
IP20 means the product is protected against solid objects larger than 12.5mm (like fingers) and offers no protection against water. It is suitable for dry indoor environments only.
This product has an energy efficiency class of D on a scale from A to G, indicating good energy efficiency.
Check that the power supply is on and the circuit breaker is not tripped. Ensure the tube is correctly seated in the G13 sockets. Verify wiring, especially if converted for direct mains operation. If used with a ballast, the ballast itself may have failed.
This can indicate a loose connection, a failing ballast (if used), or incompatibility. Ensure the tube is fully seated. If the issue persists, consider bypassing or replacing the ballast, or consult an electrician about direct mains wiring.
Check for any obstructions or dirt on the tube surface. Ensure the power supply is stable. If the fixture uses a ballast, an aging ballast might reduce performance.
Compatibility:
This LED tube is designed as a direct replacement for conventional fluorescent T8 lamps with a G13 fitting. It is suitable for operation with electromagnetic (CCG) ballasts or directly with mains voltage (220-240V) after specific wiring modifications. Ensure your existing fixture is compatible or consult an electrician for conversion if necessary.
