The energy-saving T5 LED tube offers high light output and quality, and the widest ballast compatibility, so that it is a simple “click-to-fit”. The Philips T5 LED tube comes in a small form factor, providing a high performance of 150 lumens per watt.
Easy to fit installation and safety
Philips MASTER LEDtubes offer a 100% safe and easy installation with a simple lamp-for-lamp replacement. Using InstantFit technology, the T5 LED tube can fit straight into existing luminaires and requires no wire replacement. Electrically safe pins and the isolated driver make it easy to handle the tubes without the risk of shock. This will help installers to install quickly with precision, saving them time and money.

With the widest LED tube portfolio on the market, we’re able to ensure lasting light fit for every application whether car parks or offices, to schools and warehouses.”
