Type B Ballast-Bypass T8 LED Tube
- 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.
Recommended Application

No. The fluorescent ballast must be removed or bypassed so the ordered tube receives direct AC input through the specified lampholder wiring.
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.
The five paired E9, E12, E11, E15 and E18 glass series rows are listed as universal single- or double-ended input configurations.
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.
Available constructions include clear, milky and PET-coated shatter-resistant glass, PC or aluminium end-cap versions, and separate aluminium-plus-PC body models.
Not automatically. The lampholder type, shunted or non-shunted arrangement and conductor placement must match the ordered single-ended or double-ended wiring route.
