The ban on mercury-containing and inefficient lamps has been in force since 2023. In view of high energy costs and the increasing demand for sustainable lighting, now is the best time to switch to EU-compliant, energy- and cost-efficient LED lighting.
With LEDVANCE as your lighting partner you have nothing to worry about. Because our comprehensive LEDVANCE LED TUBE range has a future-proof LED alternative for each of your projects. So discover all the benefits of the EU-compliant LEDVANCE LED tubes and switch to low-flicker, climate-friendly light.

Are you wondering which technology you need for your luminaire with T8 fluorescent lamp – an EM lamp or an HF lamp?
Our insider tip reveals two easy ways to find out.
Starter test
Check whether the luminaire you want to fit the new lamp in has a starter. If it does, you need an LED TUBE T8 EM for operation on a CCG. If not, use an ECG-compatible version, either LED TUBE HF or UNIVERSAL.
Camera test
If the luminaire still has a working T8 lamp, take a look at it through a digital camera (such as the one on your smartphone or tablet). If the light flickers, you need an LED TUBE T8 EM for operation on a CCG. Otherwise use an ECG-compatible version, either LED TUBE HF or UNIVERSAL. For the test, we recommend a maximum distance from the digital camera to the light of 30 cm.
| Compatibility | CCG | ECG* | For AC Mains |

1. Determine the tube diameter: T5 or T8
2. Determine the tube length
3. Determine the control gear installed in the lamp: ECG or CCG?
4. Find compatible products for your ECG or CCG:
A) Check which LEDVANCE LED TUBES your ECG is compatible with
Check at ledvance.com/ecg-compatibility
Step 1:
Make a note of the ECG’s brand, name and reference number
Step 2:
Find the ECG in the list
Step 3:
Select compatible LED tube from the list
Check online in the web app at ledvance.com/tubefinder
Step 1:
Enter the ECG’s brand, name and reference number in the app’s search field
Step 2:
Compatible LED tubes are displayed and can be selected
Result:
✓ matching LEDVANCE LED TUBE available: retrofit
X no matching LEDVANCE LED TUBE: rewiring or new ECG required
B) CCG are always compatible with the LEDVANCE LED TUBE EM and universal products: RETROFIT
5. Define the desired output and other product features and choose the right product
The LED TUBE range from LEDVANCE includes many retrofit products for direct replacement. But conversion (rewiring) also has its benefits. The LEDVANCE conversion kit makes it extremely quick and easy. Because it includes all the materials you need for rewiring single- or double-lamp T8 or T5 lamps – including step-by-step instructions.
