48-Inch Plug-and-Play LED T8 Replacement

This case of 20 GE Lighting LED18ET8/G/4/865 tubes replaces 48-inch T8 fluorescent lamps. Each 18-watt tube delivers 2300 lumens at a 6500K color temperature. The Type A plug-and-play design works with compatible existing ballasts.

Facility managers and lighting retrofit projects

Suited for commercial or institutional projects that need many 48-inch T8 replacements at once. Not for fixtures that require T5 or T12 lamps. Not for installations that demand a bypass or direct-wire LED tube.

Ballast-compatible installation

Insert the tube into a compatible T8 ballast fixture; no rewiring is needed. The glass body resists bending but can break if dropped. Verify ballast compatibility before installing all 20 tubes.

Questions about this item

Does this Type A LED tube need a compatible T8 fluorescent ballast already installed in the fixture to operate?

Yes, the Plug and Play Type A design works directly with an existing T8 electronic ballast, so the fixture must already have one in place for the tube to light.

Can I use these 48 inch tubes in a fixture that currently holds T5 or T12 fluorescent lamps?

No, the product is specified as a replacement for T8 fluorescent lamps only and does not replace T5 or T12 types.

How can I verify the 6500K daylight colour and 2300 lumen output are correct once the tubes are installed?

The light will appear as a cool 6500K daylight white, and the 80 CRI rating means colours should look natural under the 2300 lumen output.
