T8 LED tube designed for the technical replacement of fluorescent lighting
At AM Lighting, we develop T8 LED tubes designed to replace traditional fluorescent systems in transport applications and technical environments.
This solution is designed to operate reliably in battery-powered systems, featuring built-in dimming, electrical protection and a long service life.
Actual replacement of fluorescent lighting
Efficient updating without structural redesign.
Our T8 LED tube is designed to replace existing fluorescent lighting in:
- Buses and coaches
- Trains, trams and underground trains
- Commercial vehicles
- Technical and industrial spaces
It fits onto a G13 socket and requires no additional external equipment.
Even when there are fluctuations in the mains voltage, it maintains a constant level of efficiency and brightness.
The replacement must not compromise reliability.
Our electronics are designed to ensure this.
01
Technical skills
Electrical stability and high performance. In our current projects, we are working with:
- Input voltage range: 18–32 V DC
- Active regulation: 20–32 Vdc
- Power consumption at 24 V DC: 480 mA
- Electrical efficiency: 72% @24V
- Luminous efficacy: 145 lm/W
- Luminous flux: 1440 lm
- Beam angle: 120°
- Service life: L70 / 50,000 hours (25°C)
- Linear technology
- Colour temperature: 3800–4200K
However, as with all our products, the voltage and configuration can be adapted to meet technical specifications.

Safety
and security
Built-in protection for heavy-duty use
The system includes:
- Overheating protection
- Reverse polarity protection
- Good heat transfer
- Regulations on vibration and electromagnetic compatibility
- Opal polycarbonate diffuser compliant with European fire and smoke standards
- Temperature range: -20°C to +70°C
It is not a standard household LED tube.
It is a technical solution designed for demanding environments.
