Type B Ballast-Bypass T8 LED Tube

This Type B T8 LED tube operates directly on AC 120-277 V after the fluorescent ballast is removed or bypassed. The series covers 590, 895 and 1199 mm lamps with single-ended, double-ended or universal input configurations for indoor general lighting.
  • Wide Tubular Distribution: A 320-degree beam spreads light around the tube instead of concentrating output in a narrow forward strip.
  • Compact LED Package: SMD2835 LEDs form a continuous linear source inside the familiar T8 profile.
  • Shatter-Control Option: PET-coated glass helps retain fragments when breakage control is required in occupied interiors.
  • Extended Rated Life: A 50,000-hour rated lifetime supports longer relamping intervals in regularly used interiors.

Product Description

Product Details

Product Construction

The 26 mm T8 family combines a linear LED assembly with G13 end caps. Glass and aluminium-plus-PC body constructions are available, while PC and aluminium end-cap versions are identified separately.

Selection & Installation Notes

Select the required length, lumen package, body construction and input method from the exact model specification. Remove or bypass the fluorescent ballast before energizing the lamp, then wire line and neutral to the lampholders according to the ordered single-ended or double-ended diagram; the two input routes are not interchangeable.

Frequently Asked Questions?

Find clear answers to common questions about product specifications, model selection, applications, and quotation requirements. For project-specific needs, send us your target market, required quantity, and key specifications.

Does a Type B T8 tube operate through the existing fluorescent ballast?

No. The fluorescent ballast must be removed or bypassed so the ordered tube receives direct AC input through the specified lampholder wiring.

Are single-ended and double-ended Type B lamps wired the same way?

No. A single-ended lamp receives line and neutral at one end, while a double-ended lamp receives them at opposite ends; follow the diagram supplied for the exact model.

Which models support either single-ended or double-ended input?

The five paired E9, E12, E11, E15 and E18 glass series rows are listed as universal single- or double-ended input configurations.

Which lengths and outputs are available?

The listed range covers 590 mm at 1050 or 1200 lm, 895 mm at 1450 lm, and 1199 mm at 1450, 1800, 2100 or 2150 lm.

Which tube body and end-cap options are listed?

Available constructions include clear, milky and PET-coated shatter-resistant glass, PC or aluminium end-cap versions, and separate aluminium-plus-PC body models.

Can the existing fluorescent lampholders always be reused?

Not automatically. The lampholder type, shunted or non-shunted arrangement and conductor placement must match the ordered single-ended or double-ended wiring route.
