What should I pay attention to when choosing a Noxion T8 LED Tube?

Placing a Noxion LED T8 tube is done in a couple of seconds. It is true that a few things still need to be checked in advance. We are happy to help you through the checklist below.

Step 1: What is the length of my current fluorescent lighting?

There are four options for this. Namely: 60cm, 90cm, 120cm and 150cm. So make sure that your new Noxion T8 LED tube has the same length. In most cases, your existing luminaire is suitable for your new Noxion LED lighting. Each fluorescent and LED tube of T8 format is equipped with a G13 fitting, with two pins standing 13 millimeters apart.

Step 2: Which driver technology do I need?

Conventional ballast

This technology applies to fixtures with older conventional ballast (with starter) or directly to the mains voltage. NOTE: when replacing your old fluorescent tube for a Noxion LED T8 tube, you need to place the included LED starter at the spot where the old starter was.

Electronic ballast

This technology is suitable for fixtures with a modern HF-ballast (without starter) . When replacing your old fluorescent tube with your new Noxion LED T8 tube, you do not have to change the fixture. So saving on your energy costs can start right away!

Step 3: What color temperature do I choose?

Ask yourself what the function of the light should be in the room in question. Is there a need for bright and clear light? Or may the light have a warm hue? With the different Noxion T8 LED tubes you can choose from four different color temperatures. In the diagram below we have listed these for you.
