The tube (100) has contact pins (104, 106) provided at respective ends, where the contact pins at the one of the ends are electrically connectable with the contact pins of the other end by a switching structure or extensible in an end-submerged condition by the other contact pins. Fuse structures (110, 112) are activatable by inserting into a socket element in order to release the switching structure for switching into the on-state. The switching structure is formed as an electrical slide switch (108), a rotary switch and a rotary switch. An independent claim is also included for a method for manufacturing a lighting tube. Eine Leuchtröhre (100, 300, 600, 1000) und ein Verfahren zur Herstellung einer Leuchtröhre (1200). Die Leuchtröhre (100, 300, 600, 1000) mit einem ersten und einem zweiten Ende, die jeweils mindestens einen Kontaktstift (104, 106, 304, 306, 604, 606, 1004, 1006) haben; einer Schaltstruktur (108, 308, 608, 1008, 1009), durch die, in einem "Ein" Zustand der Schaltstruktur, die Kontaktstifte an dem ersten Ende mit den Kontaktstiften des zweiten Endes elektrisch verbindbar sind, oder durch die Kontaktstifte des ersten Endes aus einem in dem ersten Ende versenkten Zustand ausfahrbar sind; und eine Sicherungsstruktur (110, 112, 310, 312, 610, 1010), die durch Einbringen in ein Fassungselement aktivierbar ist, um die Schaltstruktur zur Schaltung in den "Ein" Zustand freizugeben.
