LEDVANCE T8 EM LED Tube Lamp Luminaires
Rewiring of 2-lamp Luminaires
The conversion of a luminaire to operation of LED tubes on AC mains directly can be of advantage in the following cases:
- The existing driver is broken or has reached the ned of its nominal lifetime. Driver maintenance will then not be necessary anymore.
- The existing electronic driver is not compatible with the selected LEDVANCE LED Tube.
- Power losses on the driver should be avoided completely and thus the highest possible energy efficiency should be achieved.
All LEDVANCE LED TUBE T8 EM, UNIVERSAL, T5 AC, T9 EM and DULUX LED are
suitable for operation on 230V AC mains.
It is required to check if the existing luminaire is suitable for conversion
from a technical and photometrical point of view. Conversion is only allowed
to be conducted by a qualified electrician. After conversion a risk assessment
has to be conducted.
If no significant changes have been made to the performance, application or
construction of the luminaire, its existing CE mark will remain valid and no
new declaration of conformity is needed.
This checklist can be used as assistance for the risk assessment:
Luminaire to be rewired (ECG mounting already removed)
Tools needed: wire cutter, wire stripper, different screwdrivers New wires must comply with latest version of EN 50525 and EN 60598-1, have a minimum cross section of 0,4 mm2 and the isolation have a nominal thickness of 0,5 mm.
Material included in conversion kit
Content conversion kit:
- 6 WAGO connectors
- 4 adhesive sockets for cable ties
- 4 cable ties
- New blank name plate for luminaire (only needed if significant changes are made to the luminaire, check step 7)
- Pre-wired microfuse (T2A 250V)
General Work Steps

Remove wiring from ECG step by step and re-connect as prescribed below
Step 1: Connect mains line “L” to fuse with one wire using a WAGO
connector
Step 2: Connect second fuse line to both right lamp holders. Pay
attention to correct connection of all ECG clamps within the following steps.
Step 3: Connect lines of left and right lamp holders for lamp 1 and 2.
Step 4 : Connect both left lamp holders to neutral line „N“. Use WAGO
connectors if needed.
Step 5: Remove ECG.
Step 6 : Fix all wires with adhesive sockets and cable ties.
Schritt 7: Risk assessment according to evaluate whether significant
changed have been made to the performance, application or construction of the
luminaire. This checklist can be used as assistance for the risk assessment:
Step 8: Fix the provided warning sticker clearly visible inside of the luminaire. The converted luminaire should not be used anymore with fluorescent lamps.
WARNING: THIS LUMINAIRE HAS BEEN MODIFIED TO OPERATE ONLY AC 220-240V LED TUBE. NOT FOR USE WITH ANY FLUORESCENT LAMP
Step 9: Conduct final visual inspection of all components and check if all wires have been fixed tightly inside of the WAGO connectors. Cables should not be pinched during the mounting of the luminaire. Defect parts must be repaired or replaced.
If needed, re-connect earth conductor (PE)

Step 1: Connect mains line “L” to fuse with one wire using a WAGO
connector.
Step 2: Connect second line of fuse in parallel with a lamp holder of one
lamp (see circuit diagram above). It is recommended to use the side that had
been previously connected to the CCG.
Step 3: Remove starter holder to establish a connection between the right
and left lamp holder
Step 4: Connect cables leading to starter holder using a WAGO connector.
Step 5: Remove CCGs.
Step 6: Fix cables using existing cable brackets and mount additional
cable ties and adhesive sockets.
