SYLVANIA T8 LEDlescent LED Linear Light Bulb for Non-Dimmable Application

SYLVANIA LEDlescent™ T8 Ballast-Free lamps are an energy-saving alternative designed to replace traditional fluorescent T8/T12 lamps by bypassing the existing ballast. These LED T8 lamps contain no mercury, provide instant light, and offer a uniform light distribution. Engineered to operate directly on 120-277V, these lamps minimize labor and recycling costs. They can be used with occupancy and vacancy sensors for enhanced energy savings.

When installing the LEDlescent T8 lamps, the UL rating of the existing fixture is not voided (even when it is electrically modified) since the LEDlescent T8 lamp is UL Classified (as a luminaire conversion retrofit kit) under UL standard 1598C. UL 1598C is the standard covering LED retrofits intended for an existing UL-rated fixture. As the user is retrofitting with a UL1598C classified LED kit, the installer must follow the installation instructions included with the lamps for the modified fixture to retain its UL rating.

The lamps feature optimized glass optics, providing no warm-up time, instant-on with full light output, and stable lamp-to-lamp color. They are suitable for dry and damp locations (cannot come in direct contact with water), open and enclosed fixtures, and approved for use in tube guards.

The lamps also have a patented built-in safety circuit that prevents current from flowing through the lamp when only one end is engaged in the socket, thereby eliminating the potential shock hazard. There is no risk of electrical arching between the lamp pins and the lamp holders. Furthermore, the lamps can be used with shunted and non-shunted sockets, so no socket change is needed.

In summary, the SYLVANIA LEDlescent™ T8 Ballast-Free lamps offer a range of benefits, including energy-saving performance, instant-on lighting, safety features, and ease of installation. These lamps are designed to provide a reliable and efficient lighting solution for a variety of applications.
