Safety and Application notes
The SubstiTUBE
When operating with CCG, the included “SubstiTUBE
conventional starter is not replaced the SubstiTUBE® Star will start blinking. Switch off
immediately, the SubstiTUBE® Star can be damaged!
Do not use SubstiTUBE® Star in luminaires which do not have any starter or when the starter
cannot be replaced.
Not usable in luminaires with serial lamp connection i.e. more than one tube at one magnetic
ballast (tandem circuitry).
The SubstiTUBE® Star emits light only with a limited angle, not like a fluorescent tube with
360°output.
Due to the characteristic light distribution of the SubstiTUBE® Star, the resulting luminaire light
characteristic is likely to change. It is not guaranteed that e.g. standards for lighting at working
places will be complied to after replacement. A photometric check of the installation is
recommended.
The effective energy savings depend on the efficiency of the luminaire setup to be replaced and
should be considered individually in each case.
Particularly magnetic ballast losses are reduced to ohmic losses and are normally only about 1
W.
SubstiTUBE products differ in their diameters and geometries from fluorescent lamps. Their use
in open batten luminaires with gaskets is possible if no excessive force is expended during the
fixing. Obtaining the necessary IP protection in open batten luminaires with gaskets cannot be
ensured.
®
Star must not be damaged or operated in a damaged condition.
®
Start” has to be inserted as well. If the
SubstiTUBE® Star may also be driven directly on line voltage. In order to grant a safe operation
mode please refer to the installation instructions for further information.

Installation Instructions for CGG
Make sure that the supply voltage is disconnected.
Carefully remove the fluorescent tube and starter according to the lamp holder type.
Insert SubstiTUBE® Star and SubstiTUBE® Start properly.
Below an example for typical lamp holder types is described
Turn the conventional lamp 90° degrees and take it out of the socket.
Remove the conventional starter by turning it.
Insert and latch the SubstiTUBE® Start into starter socket.
Insert SubstiTUBE® Star into socket and locate into position by turning 90°.
Check light emission direction.
