48-inch T8 LED tube replacement

This 48-inch T8 LED tube replaces 32-watt linear fluorescent lamps with a 14-watt LED alternative. It delivers 1800 lumens at a 4000K colour temperature. The glass tube uses a medium bi-pin base and is rated for 50,000 hours of life. It is sold as a case of 20 tubes.

Ballast bypass wiring required

This is a Type B ballast-bypass lamp that requires rewiring to bypass the existing fixture ballast. Verify that your fixture is a T8 type; the tube will not work with T5 or T12 fixtures. The dual-ended power design does not require changing the existing sockets. Confirm the installation is suitable for damp locations.

Direct-wire installation frees fixture from ballast

The lamp operates on direct wire with no ballast or external driver needed. Bypassing the ballast removes a common failure point and reduces maintenance. Dual-ended power simplifies the wiring process by using both ends of the tube. The non-dimmable design suits standard on-off switching applications.
