The T8 LED Tube Dummy Starter should be used for replacing your old fluorescent tubes with LED TL Tubes in the same fixture.
Note! You do not need a T8 LED Tube Dummy Starter when installing LED TL tubes in LED TL fixtures. These fixtures are designed in such a way that you no longer need a starter.
Below is a brief instruction on how you can easily and quickly replace your old TL lighting with our T8 LEDs in just a few steps:
Fixture with 1 or more TL tubes:
- Turn off the power
- Remove the old TL lighting
- Remove the starter (if fitted)
- Remove the ballast
- Move the FASE and ZERO wires to one side of the fixture in the socket/ holder (The LED only needs power on one side)
- Insert the LED TL into the luminaire - with L N Input on the socket on the current side.
- Switch on the power
Fixture with 1x TL tubes, with starter:
It can be replaced one-on-one by the LED starter.
Of course, you can also simply follow the instruction above, both instructions are possible.
- Turn off the power
- Remove the old TL lighting
- Replace the old starter with the new one supplied with the LED starter.
- Insert the LED TL tube
- Switch on the power
