BALLAST COMPATIBLE (NO REWIRING)
The LED T8 lamp is the perfect plug and play retrofit solution to quickly save energy and maintenance costs. It can be installed with an electronic T8 ballast with no rewiring required.
BALLAST REWIRING
T8 lamps with single-side wiring receive power at one end only. Line and neutral wires connect to the same end, requiring non-shunted sockets.
BALLAST REWIRING
These T8 lamps are powered from both ends—line to one end and neutral to the other. Compatible with shunted sockets.
LED T8 Dual Mode (Ballast Bypass/Ballast Compatible) 1.5 Inch U-shape Retrofit
The LED T8 U-Shape Retrofit Bulb offers a modern, energy-efficient alternative to traditional fluorescent U-bend tubes. Engineered to deliver the same high-quality light output with significantly lower energy usage, these retrofit lamps help reduce utility costs while providing reliable illumination for commercial, institutional, and industrial settings. With a rated lifespan of up to 50,000 hours, they dramatically cut down on maintenance and replacement cycles, ideal for environments that demand consistent performance.
Available in a range of color temperatures, these U-bend LEDs can be tailored to suit the tone and purpose of your space. Select warm white for a more inviting atmosphere in hospitality or healthcare environments, or opt for cooler daylight tones in retail, classroom, or office settings where clarity and focus are essential. With instant-on, flicker-free performance, these lamps ensure even, dependable light from the moment they power on—no warm-up time or visual disruption.
Installation Options:
Type A/B – Universal: These dual-mode lamps support both plug-and-play operation with compatible T8 electronic ballasts (Type A) and direct wiring for ballast bypass (Type B).
This flexibility allows for quick retrofits in existing fixtures and future conversion into a more efficient direct-wire setup without needing to replace the lamp. It's an ideal solution for mixed-system environments or phased lighting upgrades.
Mercury-free and built for long-term durability, these LED U-lamps offer a sustainable upgrade to outdated fluorescent systems. Their robust construction resists vibration and wear, making them a dependable choice in high-use or high-traffic areas.
Before Make Sure To:
1.Read the included instructions
2.Turn off the power (Even if installing with ballast)
3.Check your ballast type to determine your install method
4.Contact us if you need help
