FAQs

Can I use this LED tube to replace a T8 fluorescent tube in any fixture?

Yes, this T8 LED tube is designed to replace standard T8 fluorescent tubes in fixtures that are compatible with either electromagnetic ballasts (CCG) or direct mains voltage (220-240V). Always ensure the fixture is suitable before installation, or consult an electrician.

Is this LED tube dimmable?

No, the Sylvania ToLEDo AVANT T8 CCG 734 is not a dimmable LED tube.

What is the color temperature of this bulb?

The color temperature is 3000 Kelvin (K), which is classified as Warm White.

How long will this LED tube last?

The average bulb lifetime is rated for 50,000 hours of operation.

What does the 'CCG' in the product name mean?

CCG stands for Conventional Control Gear, referring to electromagnetic ballasts commonly found in older fluorescent light fixtures. This tube is designed to work with CCG or direct mains power.

What is the energy efficiency rating?

The energy efficiency class is D, according to the EU energy labeling scale from A to G.

Can this tube be used outdoors?

No, this tube has an IP20 rating, meaning it is suitable for dry indoor environments only and is not protected against water ingress.

Troubleshooting

Tube does not light up.

Ensure the power is on and the circuit breaker is not tripped. Verify the tube is correctly seated in the G13 sockets. Check if the fixture is wired for direct mains operation or if a compatible ballast is present and functioning. If connected to mains, ensure correct polarity if applicable (though typically not for this type of tube). Consult an electrician if issues persist.

Flickering light.

This can sometimes occur if the tube is not fully seated or if there's an incompatibility with an existing ballast. Remove and reinsert the tube. If the fixture has an old electronic ballast, it might be worth considering bypassing it for direct mains connection (consult an electrician). In rare cases, a faulty tube may be the cause.

Light is dimmer than expected.

Check that the correct tube is installed and that it is fully seated. Ensure there are no obstructions or coatings on the tube that would diffuse the light. Verify the fixture is clean and that the power supply is adequate.
