LED T8 retrofit tubes

Havells-Sylvania is now manufacturing its LED T8 tubes in Europe. ToLEDo tubes have an efficacy of up to 114 lm/W and come with three lighting outputs — 1200 lm (11 W), 2600 lm (26 W) and 2600 lm (32 W). They are designed for the quick and easy retrofit of existing switch-start linear fluorescent fixtures and have a life of at least 40 000 h.

When replacing T8 fluorescent tubes, the magnetic ballast is retained, but the starter is replaced by the LED starter supplied with each lamp.

These tubes have an end cap that can be rotated by 100°. The beam angle is 120°.
