Synergy 21 LED Tube T5 series 150cm, IP20 double base content_copy

The Synergy 21 LED Retrofit socket T5, 150 cm in length, is a double socket designed for the installation and replacement of LED tubes in existing luminaires. It is specifically designed for luminaires with single-end power supply, where electrical power is supplied at one end of the tube. The socket allows the use of two LED tubes simultaneously, achieving efficient and even light distribution in tube luminaires. The construction is intended for indoor use, with protection class IP20 providing protection against finger contact and against solid foreign objects up to 12.5 mm in diameter. The housing color is white, and the housing is made of sheet metal, ensuring a robust and durable structure.

Applications

The socket is intended for use in indoor luminaires, particularly in offices, warehouses, workshops, or other rooms where LED tubes are used as a replacement for conventional fluorescent tubes. It is not suitable for damp or wet environments, as the IP20 protection class does not provide waterproofing. Installation is carried out in existing luminaires originally designed for T5 tubes, with electrical power supplied via a single end.

Functions and Equipment in Detail

The socket is designed without a starter and without a ballast, meaning it can be operated directly with LED tubes that do not require additional electrical components. Dimensions are 1530 mm in length, 75 mm in height (with socket), and 90 mm in width, with the height without socket being 3.5 cm. The foot width is 4.5 cm, while the holder has a width of 9 cm. These dimensions ensure secure and stable mounting in standard T5 luminaires. The construction is designed to withstand mechanical stress during installation and operation, preventing any shifting or loosening.

Technology Explained Simply

The IP20 protection class means the socket is protected against finger contact and against the ingress of solid foreign objects up to 12.5 mm in size. It is not waterproof and therefore not suitable for use in damp or wet environments. The use of sheet metal as housing material ensures high mechanical stability and heat dissipation, positively influencing the lifespan of the LED tubes. Single-end power supply enables simple installation, as the electrical connection is made at only one end of the tube, simplifying installation in existing luminaires.

Compatibility and Accessories

The socket is designed for LED tubes in T5 format and is suitable for luminaires with single-end power supply. It is compatible with the inrush current limiter EBN-OS /230, which is offered as an accessory. This current limiter may be required during installation to reduce inrush currents and extend the lifespan of the LED tubes. The combination of socket and current limiter is particularly beneficial in larger installations or when used in luminaires with multiple tubes.

Installation and Mounting

Installation is carried out in existing luminaires designed for T5 tubes. The electrical connection is made at one end of the tube, with power supplied via the existing luminaire wiring. Installation should be performed by qualified personnel, and power must be switched off before mounting. Mechanical mounting is achieved via the holder, which ensures secure fixation of the tubes. The socket dimensions are designed to fit standard T5 luminaires without requiring additional modifications.

Operational Advantages

Using this socket enables a simple and cost-efficient replacement of fluorescent tubes with LED tubes, reducing energy consumption and maintenance costs. The use of LED tubes results in longer lifespan and higher light output compared to conventional light sources. Single-end power supply simplifies installation, and the robust sheet metal construction ensures long-term durability. Compatibility with the inrush current limiter provides additional safety and extends the lifespan of the LED tubes.
