Plug and Play Retrofit (Type A)
Ballast compatible LED tubes support quick installation to fixtures that use electronic instant start ballasts for T8s. No rewiring necessary. *Not compatible with T12 ballasts.
Single-Side Wiring (Type B Single-Ended)
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.
Double-Side Wiring (Type B Double-Ended)
These T8 lamps are powered from both ends—line to one end and neutral to the other. Compatible with shunted sockets.
T8 3 Foot LED Bulbs
Brighten your space with the T8 3FT LED Lamp, a compact and efficient lighting upgrade designed for a wide range of interior applications. Whether you're retrofitting an older system or planning a new installation, this LED lamp delivers reliable performance, reduced energy costs, and long-lasting illumination in commercial, institutional, or residential settings.
Engineered to match the appearance and light distribution of traditional fluorescent tubes, this 3-foot lamp offers smooth, glare-free brightness in a more compact form factor—ideal for spaces where standard 4-foot tubes are too large. It’s a practical solution for retail shelving, office lighting, or task areas requiring precise, efficient illumination.
Installation Options:
Type A – Plug-and-Play: Compatible with most T8 electronic ballasts. Simply remove the existing fluorescent lamp and insert the LED replacement—no rewiring required. Not compatible with T12 ballasts.
Type B – Ballast Bypass (Direct Wire): Wires directly to the power source, eliminating the ballast completely. This setup maximizes energy efficiency and removes a common failure point, ideal for long-term performance and reduced maintenance.
Type A/B – Universal: Supports both plug-and-play operation with ballasts and direct-wire installation without them. Offers flexibility for changing infrastructure and is ideal for contractors seeking an all-in-one retrofit solution.
Multiple color temperature options allow you to fine-tune the lighting for any environment. Choose warmer tones for hospitality or waiting areas, or select cooler, daylight-balanced hues for enhanced focus and visibility in offices, labs, or industrial settings.
With energy savings of up to 50%, a rated lifespan of up to 50,000 hours, and dependable performance across various applications, the T8 3FT LED Lamp offers a smart, flexible upgrade for modern lighting systems that demand efficiency without compromise.
