The Osram LED TUBE T5 AC HE14 P 549 mm 7W 840 is an LED tube for mains voltage, designed as a direct replacement for conventional fluorescent lamps with G5 base. The product is suitable for retrofit lighting in existing luminaires designed for mains voltage, and offers an energy-efficient alternative with high luminous efficacy. The tube is made of glass and features a shatter protection through a special PET coating, making it particularly suitable for applications in the food industry, where hygiene and safety are paramount. The colour consistency is ≤ 5 sdcm (step value unit), ensuring uniform colour rendering across multiple lamps. The service life is up to 50,000 hours, enabling long-term use without frequent replacements. The tube is flicker-free according to EU Directive 2019/2020 (SVM = 0.4 / PstLM = 1), providing comfortable and eye-friendly lighting.

Applications
The LED tube is intended for general lighting in indoor environments, with ambient temperatures ranging from -20 °C to +45 °C. Typical applications include offices, public facilities, supermarkets, department stores, and industrial plants. The protection rating IP20 protects against solid foreign objects with a diameter of at least 12.5 mm and is therefore suitable for dry indoor areas. Use in outdoor environments is only possible in suitable damp-proof luminaires, with compliance with the installation instructions and data sheet required.

Functions and equipment in detail
The tube features glass technology that prevents sagging of the lamp, which is particularly advantageous during long operating times and at high temperatures. The special PET coating provides shatter protection, minimizing the risk of injury in case of glass tube breakage. The luminous flux is high, making the tube suitable for demanding lighting tasks. The colour temperature is 840 K, corresponding to neutral white light, suitable for clear and functional lighting in workspaces.

Technology explained simply
The LED tube is directly connected to mains voltage and does not require an electronic ballast. The operating voltage is within the range of standard household voltage, allowing installation in existing luminaires without additional modifications. The tube is not designed for use in emergency lighting systems. The housing temperature (Tc) should be measured before installation to ensure the product's operating temperature is not exceeded. Responsibility for technical and safety-related consequences following rewiring of a luminaire lies with the installer. All electrical connections must only be carried out by qualified personnel, and mains power must be switched off before installation.

Compatibility and accessories
The LED tube is designed for luminaires with G5 base and can be directly installed into existing fluorescent lamp sockets. It is not compatible with electronic ballasts. Use in outdoor installations is only possible in suitable damp-proof luminaires, with the installation instructions and data sheet to be observed.

Installation and mounting
Installation is carried out by inserting the tube into the existing socket. It must be ensured that the luminaire is designed for mains voltage and does not contain an electronic ballast. Electrical connections must only be performed by qualified personnel, and mains power must be switched off before mounting. The tube is not intended for emergency lighting systems.

Operational advantages
The LED tube offers a high service life of up to 50,000 hours, reducing maintenance costs. The flicker-free lighting provides a comfortable light atmosphere, and the high colour consistency ensures uniform illumination. The glass technology prevents sagging, and the shatter protection increases safety in case of breakage. The tube is suitable for a wide range of indoor applications and can be used in existing luminaires without modification.
