FAQs
Can I use this LED tube with an electronic ballast?
This specific model (CCG) is designed for electromagnetic ballasts or direct mains operation. It is not guaranteed to be compatible with all electronic ballasts. For electronic ballast compatibility, please refer to other Sylvania models.
What is the warranty period for this Sylvania LED tube?
The Sylvania ToLEDo NEOS T8 CCG LED tube comes with a 3-year warranty.
How do I convert my fixture from fluorescent to direct mains operation?
Converting to direct mains operation involves bypassing the existing ballast and starter (if applicable) and wiring the tube directly to the 220-240V power supply. This should only be performed by a qualified electrician to ensure safety and compliance.
What does 'Daylight 6500K' mean for the light color?
Daylight 6500K refers to a cool, bright white light color temperature, similar to natural daylight. It is often preferred for task lighting, offices, and areas where clarity and alertness are important.
Is this LED tube suitable for a humid environment like a bathroom?
This tube has an IP20 rating, meaning it offers protection against solid objects larger than 12.5mm but no protection against water. It is not recommended for use in very humid or wet environments. Please check the product specifications for suitability in specific conditions.
Can I replace a 40W fluorescent tube with this 13.3W LED tube?
Yes, this 13.3W LED tube is designed to replace higher wattage fluorescent tubes. The wattage difference indicates significant energy savings, while the lumen output (1800lm) ensures comparable or improved brightness.
Troubleshooting
Tube does not light up
Verify that the power supply is active. Check all connections, especially if wired directly to mains. Ensure the tube is correctly seated in the G13 holders. If using with a CCG, confirm the ballast is functional.
Flickering or inconsistent light
This may indicate an issue with the ballast if one is used. Try bypassing the ballast and wiring directly to mains (consult a qualified electrician). Check for loose connections or power supply fluctuations.
Reduced light output over time
While designed for long life, ensure the tube is not overheating due to poor ventilation, which can impact performance. Clean the tube surface if it appears dirty.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This LED tube is designed to replace standard fluorescent T8 tubes. It can be operated with an existing electromagnetic ballast (CCG) or wired for direct mains operation (220-240V). Ensure the power is switched off before attempting any installation. If wiring directly to mains, consult a qualified electrician.
Compatibility: Compatible with fixtures designed for T8 fluorescent tubes with a G13 cap. Important: This LED tube is not dimmable and not suitable for totally enclosed fixtures. Ensure adequate ventilation around the tube.
Care: To maintain optimal performance, clean the exterior of the tube periodically with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents. Ensure the fixture is clean and free from dust or debris that could obstruct ventilation.
