METOLIGHT LED-Tube-VDE-RC, 120 cm, 18 Watt, T8, 2500 lm, clear, pure white

METOLIGHT LED-Tube VDE-RC, 120 cm, 18 Watt, 2500 lm, clear, pure white

LED Tube single side connected for magnetic ballast and direct 230 Volt AC

Asmetec VDE-certificate Nr. 40045812

Extra bright by Epistar SMD with 140 lm / W, CRI Ra >85 - Energy Class A++ (EU 2012) D (EU 2019)
Retrofit replacement for fluorescent T8 / T10 - 120 cm, 36 Watt, Socket G13
The METOLIGHT LED tube VDE-RC is significantly brighter than conventional fluorescent tube 120 cm / 36 Watt - T8 - saves about 80% energy at about 10 times longer durability.

No electrical shock:
The Asmetec SCE-technology ensures that there is no power creep voltage from one end of the tube to the other.

The matted shell ensures anti glare lighting in light beam angle of about 140°.
The optimal mounting height is from 2 - 4 m.
Rewiring of the luminaire or even remove the existing magnetic ballasts is not necessary. The METOLIGHT-VDE-RC works on all conventional magnetic ballasts as well directly to 230V AC. You only need to replace the existing starter by the special fused LED-starter supplied with each tube.(Asmetec item -no.101495). However luminaires with tandem circuit (1 ballast drives 2 tubes) must be checked before. Here it may be that the tube does not light up.
Specials:
The LED tubes are equipped with rotatable-fixable sockets so that they can also be used in luminaires with side G13 bases. In addition, the base caps do not increase the tube diameter, which means that the tubes can also be used in luminaires with watertight coupling nuts. The completely new developed power supply unit with flicker-free technology ensures uniform, fatigue-free lighting. Operation on emergency power systems with DC voltage between 180 and 260 V DC is possible.


VDE-Certification
Our new series of LED tubes has been tested and certified by the VDE (Approval Certificate No. 40045812 dated 8 February 2017). METOLIGHT LEDs are also registered with the Stiftung-EAR in accordance with ElektroG under No. WEEE DE74399040

Application:
This LED-tube in light colour 4800-5200K - pure white is ideal for use in offices, shops, hotels, warehouses, work benches etc. Mounted in IP65 luminaires it also can be used outdoor or in fridge rooms. It cannot be used with dimmers and with electronic ballasts.

Specials:
High efficiency SMD LEDs 140 lm/W, CRI Ra >85, PC Case, 26 mm - T8 Diameter, rotable-fixed G13 sockets, special-core PCB for best heat dissipation and long lifetime, double isolated, short-break-proof built in driver. Sturdy aluminum heat sink, extra light, unbreakable construction, Creep voltage proof > 3750 volts, High dielectric strength, no flickering through by voltage deviations. 6 years limited warranty (see warranty conditions in download section)

Easy to install:
Switch off luminaire - remove old fluorescent tube and old starter - insert fused METOLIGHT LED-Starter and METOLIGHT LEDtube-VDE - switch on - that's it.

Individual check at Asmetec:
Each LED-tube undergoes a test routine in our Asmetec-Light-Lab to verify the general function and the main technical data. In addition to this each tube undergoes a 2500 Volt insulation and creep voltage test routine. The tests of all photometric data, ISO-Lines, EMC, switch cycles etc are made for each lot. Customers may receive test reports upon request.

Notes:
Also available in light colour 3000K / 4000K / 5000K and with clear shell as well as with UV 470 nm and UV 520 nm filter for use in Yellow Rooms. We also supply LED-Tubes with CRI Ra > 90 and efficiencies up to 180 lm/W
