1,200 mm T8 retrofit tube with a 5.8 GHz presence sensor and a 2.4 GHz inter-luminaire link, in 6,500 K daylight. Aisles come up to 2,100 lm ahead of the picker or forklift, then drop to 20 % when the aisle clears.

Sensing that travels with the aisle
In a racked aisle a single sensor tube only covers its own few metres. The 2.4 GHz link turns a run of tubes into one lighting zone without any controller.
5.8 GHz presence detection
Motion under the tube raises it to full output. Detection is volumetric and does not need a lens aimed down the aisle, so mounting position along the row is flexible.
2.4 GHz inter-luminaire communication
Each triggered tube forwards the signal to neighbours within roughly 10 m, so a forklift moving down a racked aisle is followed by light rather than chased by it.
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 %
- Daylight 6,500 K for label and packaging contrast
- No commissioning, no gateway, no app
- Signal range varies with racking and stock density
What the automatic dimming saves
Same 1,200 mm slot over 8,760 operating hours — the difference is how long the aisle is actually occupied.

40 % lowerBasis: 24 h per day, 8,760 h per year, full output during the occupied hours stated and 20 % output for the remainder. Moving up from the previous generation? The PHILIPS Sensor LEDTUBE 1200 mm 14 W 1600 lm (929001399810) 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.
Daylight contrast on the rack face
6,500 K raises the contrast between label, carton print and shelving, which is what pickers read at a distance.
Light arrives with the forklift
The mesh signal lifts the next tubes before the truck reaches them, so the aisle is never lit behind the driver.
240° wide beam
Output spreads up and sideways as well as down, reaching the upper rack levels that a narrow-beam tube leaves dark.
Zero maintenance overhead
Sensor, driver and lamp are one sealed glass unit: no battery, no gateway, no firmware, rated for 50,000 h.
Fit and wiring
Drop-in replacement for a 1,200 mm T8 lamp in an existing G13 luminaire; the 2,100 lm output is a step up from the 1,600 lm first generation, so check the luminaire rating before you swap.
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
Why specify 6,500 K in a warehouse instead of 4,000 K?
6,500 K daylight gives a cooler, higher-contrast scene that reads carton print, barcode labels and rack markings more sharply at distance. The 4000 K version (929004435410) is the better choice where the same tube serves corridors or staff areas next to the storage hall.
Will racking block the inter-luminaire signal?
The 10 m figure is a typical free-space radius; steel racking, dense pallet loads and concrete columns reduce it. Plan the row so that consecutive tubes sit within that radius of each other, and treat the coverage as indicative until the aisle is surveyed.
What does a full shift actually cost in energy?
At 12 occupied hours per day the tube draws 95 kWh per year against 158 kWh for a standard 18 W LED tube and 394 kWh for the 36 W fluorescent it replaces — 76 % lower than fluorescent. At 8 occupied hours it falls to 74 kWh.
