Do you have a question about the Osram SubstiTUBE T5 HF and is the answer not in the manual?

The SubstiTUBE® T5 HF (ECG) LED Tube is designed as a direct replacement for traditional T5 fluorescent lamps with G5 bi-pin bases, operating on electronic control gear (HF). This LED tube offers an energy-efficient and long-lasting alternative to conventional fluorescent lighting, suitable for general illumination applications.

Function Description:

The SubstiTUBE® T5 HF LED tube is engineered to seamlessly integrate into existing luminaires equipped with high-frequency electronic control gear (ECG). Its primary function is to provide illumination by converting electrical energy into light, similar to a fluorescent tube, but utilizing LED technology for improved efficiency and lifespan. The tube is designed for a simple "plug-and-play" installation, where the existing T5 fluorescent lamp is removed, and the SubstiTUBE® T5 HF LED tube is inserted in its place, without requiring any rewiring or modification to the luminaire's internal circuitry, provided the ECG is compatible. Compatibility with specific ECGs is crucial for proper operation and is detailed in a comprehensive compatibility list provided by the manufacturer. This ensures that the LED tube operates within its specified electrical parameters, preventing premature aging or failure. The tube emits light with a limited beam angle, which is characteristic of LED technology, unlike the 360° light output of traditional fluorescent tubes. This directional light output can be advantageous in applications where light needs to be focused, but it's an important consideration for overall lighting design.

Important Technical Specifications:

The SubstiTUBE® T5 HF LED tube is designed for operation with compatible high-frequency electronic control gear (ECG). It is explicitly stated that the tube is not suitable for use on 220-240V AC directly without an appropriate ECG. This means it cannot be wired directly to mains voltage. The tube is also not suitable for emergency operation, indicating it should not be used in emergency lighting systems where specific performance and reliability standards for emergency illumination are required. Furthermore, dimming is not allowed with this LED tube, implying that it is designed for on/off operation only and attempts to dim it may lead to malfunction or damage. The tube is, however, suitable for high-frequency operation, which aligns with its design for use with HF ECGs.

The product range includes various models with different power consumptions and lengths, designed to replace specific T5 fluorescent lamp equivalents:

LED TUBE T5 HF HO80 1449 37W 8XX: Replaces an 80W T5 FL, with a length of 1449mm.
LED TUBE T5 HF HO54 1149 26W 8XX: Replaces a 54W T5 FL, with a length of 1149mm.
LED TUBE T5 HF HO49 1449 26W 8XX: Replaces a 49W T5 FL, with a length of 1449mm.
LED TUBE T5 HF HE35 1449 18W 8XX: Replaces a 35W T5 FL, with a length of 1449mm.
LED TUBE T5 HF HE28 1149 17W 8XX: Replaces a 28W T5 FL, with a length of 1149mm.
LED TUBE T5 HF HE21 849 10W 8XX: Replaces a 21W T5 FL, with a length of 849mm.
LED TUBE T5 HF HE14 549 7W 8XX: Replaces a 14W T5 FL, with a length of 549mm. (The "8XX" in the model names refers to color temperature codes such as 830, 840, 865).

The storage temperature (Ts) for all models is specified as -20°C to 80°C. The ambient temperature (Ta) of the lamp for all models is specified as -20°C to 45°C.

Usage Features:

The SubstiTUBE® T5 HF LED tube is intended for general lighting applications. It is explicitly stated that it is not designed for use in explosive atmospheres or other specialized environments.

A critical usage feature is the mandatory compatibility with specific ECGs. Users must consult the latest compatibility list provided by LEDVANCE (available at https://www.ledvance.com/professional/services/led-lamps-compatibility/ecg-compatibility/index.jsp) to ensure that their existing electronic control gear is compatible. Using unlisted, non-compatible, or successor models of tested ballasts voids any responsibility, warranty, or liability from LEDVANCE.

The operating temperature range of the LED tube is restricted. It is crucial to monitor the maximum Tc (case temperature) on the product, especially in multi-lamp luminaires, to ensure it remains within the specified ambient temperature range of -20°C to 45°C. Exceeding this maximum Tc temperature can lead to premature aging and failure of the device. A flexible thermosensor (e.g., "Type K") is recommended for accurate temperature measurement.

Installation is straightforward, following a simple replacement procedure:

Ensure the power supply to the luminaire is switched off.
Rotate the existing T5 fluorescent lamp by 90° and remove it from the luminaire.
Insert the SubstiTUBE® T5 HF LED tube into the luminaire, ensuring the G5 bi-pin bases align with the lamp holders.
Rotate the LED tube by 90° to secure it in place.
Restore power to the luminaire.

The LED tube emits light with a limited beam angle, which is a key characteristic of LED technology. Unlike fluorescent tubes that provide a 360° light output, the SubstiTUBE® T5 HF directs light more specifically. This can be beneficial for certain applications but should be considered in lighting design to achieve desired illumination patterns.

Maintenance Features:

The SubstiTUBE® T5 HF LED tube is designed for low maintenance due to the inherent long lifespan of LED technology compared to traditional fluorescent lamps. Regular replacement of tubes is significantly reduced.

However, proper operation and longevity depend on adherence to the specified operating conditions:

Compatibility: Continuously ensuring that the installed ECG remains compatible with the LED tube, as per the manufacturer's updated compatibility lists, is a crucial "maintenance" aspect to prevent issues.
Temperature Monitoring: Regular monitoring of the operating temperature (Tc max) is recommended, especially in challenging environments or multi-lamp setups. This proactive measure helps prevent premature aging and failure, extending the product's life.
Environmental Conditions: The tubes are designed for use in dry conditions or within luminaires that provide adequate protection. Ensuring these environmental conditions are maintained contributes to the longevity and performance of the LED tubes.
Cleaning: As with any lighting fixture, periodic cleaning of the tube surface may be necessary to maintain optimal light output, though specific cleaning instructions are not detailed in the provided text.

The product is marked with a "Do not dispose of with household waste" symbol, indicating that it should be disposed of through appropriate recycling channels for electronic waste, aligning with environmental responsibility. The "22 PAP" symbol suggests that the packaging material is paper and should be recycled. The CE and UKCA marks indicate compliance with European and UK regulatory standards, respectively.
