Product Overview

This SubstiTUBE T5HE lamp provides an energy-saving LED alternative to standard-output fluorescent T5 lamps while retaining operation on select compatible programmed rapid start electronic T5 ballasts. It is instant-on, mercury-free, has no lamp polarity, and uses frosted glass optics for uniform light distribution.

The lamp is intended for Type A retrofit applications where the existing ballast remains in place. Ballast compatibility must be confirmed before installation, and the product cannot be used with High Output ballasts.

Compatible Applications

Commercial and institutional T5 fluorescent retrofit applications
Fixtures using compatible programmed rapid start electronic T5 ballasts
Dry and damp indoor locations
Occupancy and vacancy sensor applications when the ballast/system is compatible

Before Ordering – Verify

Confirm the exact fluorescent replacement code: FP28/850/ECO.
Confirm G5 base and 4ft nominal lamp length.
Confirm the existing programmed rapid start electronic T5 ballast is on the LEDVANCE compatibility list.
Do not use with High Output ballasts.
Do not mix this lamp with other LED or fluorescent lamps on the same ballast.
Do not use with ballasts more than ten years old.
No de-lamping is allowed; replace a failed lamp immediately.

Safety and Handling Guidelines

Turn power off before installation, inspection, or maintenance.
Install and operate in accordance with NEC, UL requirements, and applicable codes.
Insert and align tubes fully in lamp holders to prevent poor contact, arcing, and localized overheating.
Maximum mounting distance between tube and ballast is 20 feet.
Operating temperature must remain between -4°F and 113°F (-20°C and 45°C).
