Tips

To ensure a safe, correct, and successful installation of your T8 Opal Plastic LED Tube G13, please review the following critical expert recommendations.

• CRITICAL: REQUIRES PROFESSIONAL INSTALLATION: These LED tubes are NOT a direct "plug-and-play" replacement for fluorescent tubes. The existing light fitting MUST BE REWIRED by a qualified electrician. The magnetic or electronic ballast and the starter MUST BE BYPASSED AND REMOVED from the circuit. The tube is designed to be powered directly from the mains supply. Failure to do so will destroy the LED tube and can create a serious electrical hazard.
• Confirm Power Connection: These tubes are typically powered from one end (single-ended power). The electrician must follow the specific wiring diagram included with the product to ensure power is supplied to the correct pins on the G13 base.
• Verify Length: Before purchasing, measure your existing fluorescent fixture to confirm the required tube length (2ft/604mm, 4ft/1213mm, or 5ft/1513mm).
• Non-Dimmable Use Only: These tubes are strictly non-dimmable and must be used on a standard on/off switched circuit. Do not install them on any circuit controlled by a dimmer.
• Choose the Right Colour Temperature: Select 4000K Cool White for a neutral, clear light suitable for most commercial and office spaces. Select 6000K Daylight for a very bright, blue-toned light that mimics natural daylight and enhances alertness, ideal for industrial and task-heavy environments.
