1,200 mm T8 retrofit tube with a 5.8 GHz presence sensor and a 2.4 GHz inter-luminaire link. Holds 20 % output in empty hours, returns to 2,100 lm the moment a person or vehicle enters the bay — no app, gateway, battery or commissioning.

Two sensors inside one tube
One sensor watches the space, the other talks to the neighbouring tubes. That is what removes the blind spot you get with a single stand-alone sensor tube.
5.8 GHz presence detection
Detects people and vehicles moving under the tube and drives the output to 100 %. Because the sensing element sits inside the lamp, nothing is mounted on the ceiling and nothing needs pairing.
2.4 GHz inter-luminaire communication
The triggered tube broadcasts to neighbouring luminaires within roughly 10 m, so the whole run lights ahead of the occupant instead of one tube at a time.
Coverage geometry as published for the Sensor LEDtube G2: recommended mounting height h = 0.5-4 m, typical detection radius r ≈ 3-5 m at h = 2.8 m, inter-luminaire signal radius ≈10 m. Indicative diagram, not a measured photometric file; real coverage varies with the installation environment.
- Recommended mounting height h = 0.5 m to 4 m
- Typical detection radius r ≈ 3-5 m at h = 2.8 m
- 60 s without motion returns the tube to 20 %
- Battery-free, no software update, no grouping setup
- Detection range follows the real mounting height
- Signal range varies with the installation environment
What the automatic dimming saves
Annual consumption for the same 1,200 mm slot, measured over 8,760 hours of operation.

The PHILIPS Sensor LEDTUBE 1200 mm 14 W 1600 lm (929001399710) is still catalogued and uses the same G13 caps — see the 14 W 1600 lm version.
Why it fits a retrofit project
No controls layer, no commissioning step, no new luminaire.
Installs like an ordinary tube
Same 1,200 mm length, same G13 caps, same luminaire. No new wiring layout and no control cable to pull.
Route stays visible when empty
20 % standby keeps the floor line, the exit signs and the camera scene readable between visits.
240° wide beam
Light leaves the tube upwards and sideways, not only downwards, so a single ceiling run covers the bay evenly.
Nothing to maintain
No battery to replace, no gateway to power, no firmware to update — the sensor lives inside the lamp for its full 50,000 h.
Fit and wiring
Straight replacement of a 1,200 mm T8 lamp in an existing G13 luminaire. The tube runs on mains, so the ballast is either kept as a magnetic choke or bypassed.
Magnetic ballast luminaire (EM)
- Switch the circuit off.
- Remove the compensation capacitor to improve the power factor.
- Take out the fluorescent tube and its starter.
- Fit the PHILIPS LED starter EP in place of the fluorescent starter.
- Insert the Sensor LEDtube G2 and switch on.
Electronic ballast luminaire (HF)
- Switch the circuit off.
- Bypass the ballast and any starter.
- Rewire the L and N supply straight to the LEDtube, observing the L/N marking.
- Insert the tube in the luminaire without changing the luminaire itself.
- Switch on and confirm the tube reaches full output on detection.
Before you install: not for use with dimmers; 50/60 Hz supply only; dry indoor conditions or a luminaire that provides protection against water; ambient -20 to +45 °C; the PHILIPS LED starter EP is not interchangeable with other brands. The lamp is not suitable for every application in which a traditional fluorescent lamp was used — check the installation conditions first.

Frequently asked questions
How far does the sensor reach?
At the recommended 2.8 m mounting height the typical detection radius is 3-5 m. The tube can be installed anywhere between 0.5 m and 4 m, and the radius grows or shrinks with the height. The published range is typical, not guaranteed: ceiling material, columns and parked vehicles all shorten it.
Does one tube light the whole run or only itself?
One tube triggers its own output to 100 % and simultaneously sends a 2.4 GHz signal to neighbouring luminaires within roughly 10 m, so a run lights ahead of the occupant. Tubes outside that radius stay at 20 % until a neighbour or their own sensor picks up movement.
Can I keep the existing ballast in the fixture?
On a magnetic (EM) ballast you keep the choke, remove the compensation capacitor, replace the fluorescent starter with the PHILIPS LED starter EP and fit the tube. On an electronic (HF) ballast the ballast and starter are bypassed and L/N are wired straight to the tube. Do not use the tube on a dimmer circuit.
