Safety and Application notes
 The SubstiTUBE® Basic must not be damaged or operated in a damaged condition.
 When operating with CCG, the included „SubstiTUBE® Start“ has to be inserted as well. If
the conventional starter is not replaced the SubstiTUBE® Basic will start blinking. Switch
off immediately, the SubstiTUBE® Basic can be damaged!

Lamp suitable for 50 Hz
or 60 Hz operation
Lamp not suitable for high
frequency operation
Lamp not suitable for
emergency operation
 Do not use SubstiTUBE® Basic in luminaires which do not have any starter or when the
starter cannot be replaced.
 Not usable in luminaires with serial lamp connection i.e. more than one tube at one
magnetic ballast (tandem circuitry).
 The SubstiTUBE® Basic emits light only with a limited angle, not like a fluorescent tube
with 360°output.
 Due to the characteristic light distribution of the SubstiTUBE® Basic, the resulting luminaire
light characteristic is likely to change. It is not guaranteed that e.g. standards for lighting at
working places will be complied to after replacement. A photometric check of the
installation is recommended.
 The effective energy savings depend on the efficiency of the luminaire setup to be
replaced and should be considered individually in each case.
Particularly magnetic ballast losses are reduced to ohmic losses and are normally only
about 1 W.

The SubstiTUBE® Basic is protected according to IP20. Applications with
external risk of moisture and dust can be served with an adequately protected
luminaire.
 SubstiTUBE® Basic may also be driven directly on line voltage. In order to grant a safe
operation mode please refer to the installation instructions for further information.
 Maximum amount of SubstiTUBE® Basic on one circuit breaker
Circuit breaker 10 A (B type)

Installation Instructions for CGG
 Make sure that the supply voltage is disconnected.
 Carefully remove the fluorescent tube and starter according to the lamp holder type.
 Insert SubstiTUBE® Basic and SubstiTUBE® Start properly.
Below an example for typical lamp holder types is described
 Turn the conventional lamp 90° degrees and take it out of the socket.
 Remove the conventional starter by turning it.
 Insert and latch the SubstiTUBE® Start into starter socket.
 Insert SubstiTUBE® Basic into socket and locate into position by turning 90°.
 Check light emission direction.
