LED retrofit with ECG/CCG – safe conversion to LED tubes
By eliminating ECGs and CCGs, the entire luminaire becomes significantly lower-maintenance and independent of proprietary manufacturer systems. An LED tube with an integrated driver can be operated directly on 230 V and, if required, replaced without a qualified electrician. High-quality solutions such as the GLT LED TUBE provide flicker-free light, long service life, and high energy savings – offering a technically safe and sustainable modernisation solution for all existing luminaires.

LED tube quality comparison – what really matters
Not every LED tube is suitable for retrofit applications. Decisive quality factors include service life, energy efficiency, thermal management, materials, switching resistance, and an integrated driver. These aspects directly affect operational safety, maintenance costs, and total cost of ownership. In addition, compliance with the EU Ecodesign Regulation for a reliable operating temperature range of –20 °C to +60 °C is mandatory.
IEC/EN 62776 standard explained – safety with ECG/CCG
The EN 62776 standard defines how LED tubes can be safely operated without a starter and without electronic control gear (ECG). It specifies how G5/G13 luminaires must be correctly rewired to comply with CE conformity and fire safety requirements.
LED tubes without control gear – why this solution is safer
Starters and control gear in LED tube installations are among the most common sources of faults in luminaires with G5/G13 sockets. By using an LED tube with an integrated driver, these components are completely eliminated.
The system becomes safer, more efficient, and more durable – without compatibility issues, without flickering, and without dependence on proprietary luminaire manufacturers. At the same time, the luminaire remains standards-compliant and future-proof.
