Selecting the LED Driver
The LED driver is used to set light output and integrate with any existing lighting controls. Light output is determined by the drivers output current set from a range of common values to deliver a one-for-one replacement, increase or decrease output via DIP switch, DALI or NFC.
Why replace the driver?
Replacing the LED driver is essential to optimise power and maintenance savings whilst ensuring the long term safety of the fixture. Reliance on old electronics in circuit, that were designed for fluorescent are incapable of offering the same performance and energy savings. Do it well, do it once, to optimise power savings, and ensure a safe, professional LED upgrade.
Performance in Fixture:
The T5C delivers identical light output in all types of fixtures including; lensed and open troffers, louvre fixtures and IP-rated enclosures. With the same profile and easy installation simply adjust the drive current to set the required light output and achieve up to 61% energy savings, compared to TT Fluorescent, after all losses, whether replacing HE or HO T5 fluorescent.

Note: The ballast losses attributed above are averaged across a limited range in a diverse market, minor differences may occur in practice. Savings exclude power factor correction which is assumed neutral between the fluorescent and LED.
No losses at low temperature
Unlike T5 fluorescent, Isollux T5C LED upgrades do not suffer a progressive loss in light output as the ambient temperature drops. T5C will deliver significant additional savings and increased lux levels at temperatures as low as -40ºC, and are suitable for use as replacements within IP-rated enclosures.
Colour Rendering
T5C revitalises any environment, replacing the dull, unsaturated colours emitted by fluorescent lighting with vibrant, true tones only achievable through advanced LED technology.
Choose between CRI 85 for the greatest savings and CRI 95 for the highest possible colour accuracy, both with an SDCM ≤ 3, a neutral bias and rich full colour spectrum, with positive R9 for accurate and vivid reds.

Maintenance Savings
Isollux high density LED arrays, combined with dual-die technology not only delivers class leading energy savings, but ensures the T5C maintains a consistent light output with only 10% losses at 100,000 Hours (L90/100K/Hrs). Five times the life of a T5 Fluorescent.
Upgrading to T5C will deliver a maintenance free interval between 50-100k/Hrs subject to the LED driver specified by Isollux or your contractor. With a minimum average maintenance free period of 10 years operating 14 hrs a day.
Significant Embedded Carbon Savings
Maintaining and upgrading your T5 Fluorescent to Isollux T5C LED not only makes sense economically with quantifiable CAPEX and OPEX savings compared to replacing your luminaire with a new LED luminaire, it delivers significant embedded carbon savings with a fully serviceable long term solution in line with the best objectives of the EU’s motive to remove T5 Fluorescent from the supply chain. T5C is engineered to offer a genuine alternative to replacing the entire fixture whilst avoiding unnecessary cost and unnecessary waste.
Integration with existing sensors and controls
T5C is engineered for seamless integration with lighting controls and building management systems, including DALI 2, DALI D4i, Casambi, ZigBee and Bluetooth control systems. Functionality is provided by the LED driver so it is essential to specify the correct LED driver. Upgrading your facility to T5C LED also offers the opportunity to add or update control systems, bringing additional functionality and savings to your property portfolio.
Accommodates tube mount sensors
The design of the T5C includes a return edge that securely captures latch-on sensors, eliminating the need for ugly adaptors or the expense of replacing working components. The design of the T5C simplifies installation and ensures compatibility with existing controls.
Accommodates direct tube mount sensors
Simple and fast installation
There is no need to strip or run new cables, provided the fixture is in good working order the installation takes just a few minutes.
Step 1 - Fitting the T5C
Once isolated from the power supply, simply remove the louvre or lens from the fixture, and the tombstone lamp holders from either end. Separate the cables from the lamp holders, and connect to the T5C using the WAGO connectors provided. The magnetic mount makes positioning a breeze.
Stage 2 - Fitting the LED Driver
Remove and replace the original fluorescent ballast with an LED driver that matches the required functionality, check polarity and re-connect the original cables to the LED driver. Replace the lens or louvre, test and re-energise the lighting circuit for final visual confirmation.
Note: Drive Current (mA) subject to length and lumen output requirements
Magnetic Catch
Two powerful rare earth magnets provide the simplest and fastest way to install the T5C on any ferrous metal surface. They are easily adjusted and re-positioned at any point along the length of the tube if required.
Seismic Mounts
Seismic mounts are provided for regions where regulations require a mechanical mount between the components. A pair of brackets are provided that can be used to mount the T5C at any point along its length and rotated to a safe position before fixing directly to the luminaire.
Accommodates left, right or centrally mounting options
Ensuring Correct Airflow
The brackets are designed to ensure a small but essential gap between the fixture and the heatsink to reduce thermal load and optimise performance and longevity.
