1Typical values. All the technical parameters apply to the entire lamp. In view of the complex manufacturing process for light emitting diodes, the typical
values given above for the technical LED parameters are merely statistical values that do not necessarily correspond to the actual technical parameters of
an individual product; individual product may vary from the typical values. For parameter of Lumen and Watt, production control tolerance with ±10% in
delivery.
2L70B50 is the average operating life of the LED Lamp during which the luminous flux is greater than or equal to 70% of the initial luminous flux, for 50%
of the population. The lifetime is estimated at room temperature (25deg C), free air burning, base up position.

3 TheTc is defined as the highest permissible temperature which may occur on the outer surface of the LED lamp (in the indicated position) under normal
operating conditions and at the rated voltage/current/power or the maximum of the rated voltage/current/power range (DIN EN 62031: 2009-01)

Safety and application notes

▪ The SubstiTUBE® Advanced EM T8 Tube must be handled with care. Do not operate product in a
damaged condition.
▪ When operating with double side input wiring, SubstiTUBE® Starter has to be inserted to replace
the conventional fluorescent lamp starter. If the conventional starter is not replaced, the
SubstiTUBE® Advanced EM T8 Tube will start blinking and be damaged!
▪ Do not use SubstiTUBE® Advanced EM T8 Tube in luminaires which do not have any
conventional starter or whereby the conventional starter cannot be replaced. Otherwise,
rewiring is needed.
▪ Not suitable for luminaires with serial lamp connection i.e. more than one tube at one magnetic
ballast.
▪ The SubstiTUBE® Advanced EM T8 Tube emits light at a limited angle, unlike
conventional fluorescent tubes in 360° omni-direction.
▪ Due to the light distribution characteristic of the SubstiTUBE® Advanced EM T8 Tube the resulting
luminaires light characteristic is likely to change. It is not guaranteed that e.g. standards for lighting
at working places will be complied with after replacement. A photometric check of the installation is
highly recommended.
▪ The effective energy savings depend on the efficiency of the luminaire setup to be replaced and
should be considered individually in each case. Particularly magnetic ballast losses are reduced
to ohmic losses and are normally only about 1W.
▪ The SubstiTUBE® Advanced EM T8 Tube is protected according to IP20. Applications with
external risk of moisture and dust can be served with an adequately protected luminaire.
▪ SubstiTUBE® Advanced EM T8 Tube products differ in their diameters and geometries from
fluorescent lamps. Their use in open batten luminaires with gaskets is possible if no excessive
force is expended during the fixing. Obtaining the necessary IP protection in open batten
luminaires with gaskets cannot be ensured.
▪ SubstiTUBE® Advanced EM T8 Tube can be driven directly on line voltage. In order to grant a
safe operation mode please refer to the installation instructions for further information.
▪ Photobiological Safety of lamps and lamp systems according to IEC 62778. Risk Group: Exempt

Installation Guide

1) Retrofitting a CCG luminaire accord. to EN 62776

Replacing fluorescent T8 tube and installed starter by SubstiTUBE® Advanced EM T8

Tube and SubstiTUBE® Starter

Below is an example for typical lamp holder types

✓ Please ensure that the voltage supply is disconnected.
✓ Carefully remove the fluorescent tube and conventional starter according to the lamp
holder type
✓ Insert SubstiTUBE® Advanced EM T8 Tube and SubstiTUBE® Starter properly.

✓ Turn the conventional lamp 90°and take it out of the socket.

✓ Remove the conventional starter by turning it.
✓ Insert and latch the SubstiTUBE® Starter into starter socket.
✓ Insert SubstiTUBE® Advanced EM T8 Tube into socket and locate into position by turning
90⁰.
✓ Check light the emission direction

NOTE: If a luminaire contains a power factor correction capacitor, it is recommended to remove

it from the circuit to maintain power factor >0.9. This should only be carried out by a licensed electrician.

2) Installation directly on line voltage

SubstiTUBE® Advanced EM T8 Tube may also be driven directly on line voltage. Please check the
L/N markings on the LED tube. In order to grant a safe operation mode please refer to the
installation instructions for further information. Installation must be done by licensed electricians.

2.1) Two different wiring configurations for single tube

or

2.2) Two different wiring configurations for double tubes.

or

3) Installation of an ECG luminaire with EM tube

WARNING: SubstiTUBE® Advanced EM T8 Tube is not compatible for use with electronic control
gear (ECG). If there is an existing ECG, bypass the ballast and re-wire* according to “2) Installation
directly on line voltage” and diagrams above.

*WARNING: Modifications to the wiring of an existing luminaire must be carried out by qualified
personnel only. Any modifications made to the original luminaire will alter the safety aspects of
the original luminaire; hence compliance certification of the original luminaire will no longer be
applicable to the modified luminaire.

Installation Guide

CAUTIONS: Installation Instructions for SubstiTUBE ® Advanced EM T8 Tube

Connect both line (L) and neutral (N) power to one lampholder as below diagram.

Tube side with the marking “AC input” around the cap should be facing the lampholder with mains connection
otherwise the lamps will not be functionally ON, and AC line in might short circuit.
