MaxLite 92012 U-shaped LED tube

The MaxLite 92012 is a U-shaped T8 LED tube designed to replace 32 W fluorescent lamps in commercial and residential fixtures. It delivers 1,800 lumens at 3500 K with an 80 CRI from 15 W and operates on 120-277 V circuits. The shatter-resistant plastic housing carries cULus and DLC listings for compliant installations.

Retrofit projects needing direct-wire Type B tubes

Contractors converting fluorescent troffers to LED without replacing ballasts will find the G13 bi-pin base and 6 in bend radius compatible with existing sockets. The fixed 3500 K output and non-dimmable driver suit spaces where a single colour temperature and simple on-off control are specified. Buyers who need dimming, colour-selectable output or a plug-and-play Type A solution should look at other models.

22 1/2 in overall length with G13 bi-pin base

The tube measures 22 1/2 inches end-to-end and fits standard medium bi-pin sockets used in linear fluorescent fixtures. Verifying this length and the Type B wiring requirement against the installed fixture determines whether the MaxLite 92012 is the correct replacement part.

Questions about this item

What does the 1800 lm rating mean once the tube is installed in a fixture?

It delivers 1800 lumens of 3500 K light, replacing a 32 W fluorescent while drawing only 15 W on a 120-277 V supply.

How does the G13 bi-pin base and Type B wiring affect installation?

The medium bi-pin base fits standard T8 sockets, but Type B means the tube runs on line voltage so the ballast must be removed or bypassed.

Will the 22 1/2 in U-shaped tube with a 6 in bend radius fit my existing troffer?

The overall length is 22 1/2 in and the U-bend radius is 6 in, so it fits fixtures designed for standard 2 ft U-bend T8 lamps.
