The Synergy 21 LED Tube T5 Series 150cm is a retrofit lamp for use in existing luminaires with T5 sockets. The product is specifically designed for single-ended powered tubes and replaces conventional fluorescent tubes without requiring an additional starter or ballast. The LED tube features a metal housing in white, enabling a robust and even light distribution. Dimensions are 1530 mm length, 60 mm height (with socket) and 45 mm width, with the height without socket being 3.5 cm. The protection class IP20 safeguards against contact with moving parts and ingress of solid foreign objects larger than 12.5 mm, but does not protect against moisture or splashing water – therefore, the device is intended for dry indoor environments.

Applications

The LED Tube T5 is suitable for use in offices, warehouses, workshops, and other indoor spaces where uniform, energy-efficient lighting is required. Due to the IP20 protection class, it is not suitable for damp environments or outdoor use. The single-ended power supply allows for easy installation in existing luminaires designed for T5 tubes.

Functions and Equipment in Detail

The lamp is supplied without a starter and without a ballast, enabling direct use in compatible luminaires. The use of a ballast is not required, as the LED tube itself provides the necessary power supply. The socket is designed for T5 sockets, ensuring universal use in standard luminaires. The white color of the housing provides a neutral appearance, fitting well in various indoor environments.

Technology Explained Simply

LED technology offers higher energy efficiency compared to conventional fluorescent tubes. The tube is connected directly to the mains, converting electrical energy into light without requiring an additional transformer or starter. The IP20 protection class protects against mechanical injury from contact with moving parts and ingress of large foreign objects, but not against moisture. The metal material ensures good heat dissipation, extending the lifespan of the LED elements.

Compatibility and Accessories

The LED Tube T5 is designed for luminaires with T5 sockets and can be directly installed into existing fixtures. As an accessory, a switching current limiter (item no. 134899) is offered, which can be used in certain applications to stabilize the current during startup. The use of this accessory is optional and depends on the specific luminaire design.

Installation and Mounting

Installation is performed by removing the old fluorescent tube and inserting the new LED Tube into the existing socket. Since no starter or ballast is required, mounting is simple and does not require additional electrical modifications. The work should be carried out by qualified personnel, and the power supply must be switched off before installation to avoid electrical hazards.

Operational Advantages

The LED Tube T5 offers a longer lifespan and lower energy consumption compared to conventional fluorescent tubes. The direct power supply without additional components reduces installation and maintenance complexity. The robust metal construction and IP20 protection class ensure reliable operation in dry indoor environments. The warranty is 24 months, highlighting the product’s reliability.
