SPL LED Capsule T30 18W/840 G8.5

The SPL T30 18W/840 G8.5 LED lamp is a clear capsule 30mm in diameter and 105mm long with a G8.5 base. With 18W it produces 2,100lm of cool white light at 4000K, distributed over 360°, with colour rendering Ra 80.

Applications

It is used in spotlights, floodlights and luminaires with a G8.5 base, typically those for compact metal halide lamps, after modifying them for direct connection to 230V.

Installation and replacement

It replaces existing G8.5 lamps only with a modification to the luminaire: according to the manufacturer's datasheet, the ballast must be removed and the lampholder connected directly to the 230V mains. Connected this way, it is dimmable with phase-cut LED dimmers, both forward phase (leading edge) and reverse phase (trailing edge).
