Why choose a 150cm LED tube mounting rail?
The 150cm length is a widely chosen standard in professional lighting. This size ensures optimal distribution of light in larger spaces, requiring fewer fixtures for even illumination. The advantages of this specific length include:
- Wide light distribution: A 150cm rail covers a larger area than shorter variants, resulting in fewer shadows and better overall visibility.
- Efficient setup: Thanks to higher light output per fixture, you need fewer installation points, saving time and costs for new projects or renovations.
- Standardization: The 150cm size is a common standard, providing a broad range of compatible LED tube lights and fixtures.
Types of 150cm LED tube mounting rails available
150cm LED tube mounting rails come in two main variants, each with specific characteristics:
| Type of mounting rail | Features | Application |
|---|---|---|
| With integrated LED chips | Fixed LED module, no separate tube required. Very energy-efficient and often with long lifespan. Robust construction. | New installations or complete renovations where durability and minimal maintenance are required. |
| For separate LED tubes (T8) | Suitable for one or two separate 150cm T8 LED tubes. Flexible in light color and output by swapping tubes. | Renovations of existing fluorescent installations, where you wish to retain the option of replacing the light source. |
Practical installation advice for 150cm mounting rails
Installing a 150cm LED tube mounting rail is generally straightforward, but specific points of attention are crucial for safety and optimal operation. It is always advisable to consult a certified electrician if in doubt.
Preparation for installation
- Turn off the power: For your safety, this is the most important step. Switch off the power at the distribution board that controls the relevant lighting circuit. If necessary, remove the fuse or switch off the residual current device.
- Check the existing situation: If you are replacing an old fluorescent fixture, remove the old lamp and fitting. Check if the existing wiring is in good condition.
- Determine mounting location and mark: Determine the exact position of the mounting rail. Use the fixing points of the fixture to mark holes on the mounting surface (wall or ceiling).
Connecting and mounting the 150cm mounting rail
- Open the fixture: Remove the cover from the mounting rail. With some models, you must first carefully remove the aluminum support plate with the LED units by pressing down on the retaining clips. Do not touch the LED modules directly.
-
Connect wiring: Feed the power cable through the dedicated cable entry (often with a PG gland for watertight closure). Connect the phase wire (brown), neutral wire (blue), and earth wire (yellow/green) to the appropriate terminals inside the fixture.
Common wire colors and their functions Wire color Function Brown Phase wire (live) Blue Neutral wire Yellow/Green Earth wire (safety earth) - Through-wiring (if applicable): Many 150cm mounting rails are suitable for through-wiring, meaning you can connect several fixtures in series to one power point. Use the extra terminals or connection points within the fixture to loop the wires to the next fixture. For watertight fixtures, ensure all connection points are properly sealed.
- Mount the fixture: Use the provided mounting materials (screws, plugs) to securely attach the mounting rail to the wall or ceiling. Ensure the fixture is level.
- Insert the LED tubes (if applicable): If you have a fixture for separate tubes, insert the 150cm LED tubes into the fittings.
- Close the fixture: Replace the cover and ensure all seals (for watertight models) are properly positioned.
- Turn the power back on: Switch the power back on at the distribution board and test the lighting.
Frequently asked questions about 150cm LED tube mounting rails
Can a 150cm LED tube mounting rail be used outdoors?
Yes, a 150cm LED tube mounting rail can be used outdoors, provided it has the correct IP rating. For outdoor use, at least an IP44 rating is required for sheltered locations, and IP65 for areas exposed directly to rain or splashed water. Always check the IP rating in the product specifications.
How much energy do I save with a 150cm LED tube mounting rail?
With a 150cm LED tube mounting rail, you save considerable energy. A modern LED variant uses up to 50-70% less power than a traditional fluorescent lamp with comparable light output. This results in lower energy costs and a fast return on your investment.
Is a 150cm LED tube mounting rail dimmable?
Not all 150cm LED tube mounting rails are dimmable by default. If dimming is required, specifically look for this feature in the product description. Some models with integrated LEDs are DALI dimmable, while fixtures for separate tubes depend on the dimmability of the installed LED tube and a compatible dimmable ballast.
What is the difference between a 150cm mounting rail and a 150cm LED tube?
A 150cm LED tube is only the light source, the tube itself. You place this in an existing or new fixture with the correct fitting. A 150cm LED tube mounting rail (or fixture) is the complete housing, including electrical connections and often with built-in LEDs or ready for tube installation. It is a ready-made solution that can be mounted and connected directly.
