- Table #1 – T8 LED Tube – Type A or Type A/B Hybrid - Page 1 of 2 IMPORTANT NOTICE: This list is based on testing performed using a stable AC power supply under laboratory conditions, which may not be representative of particular end-use conditions. While each ballast model listed has undergone testing, some may have undergone revisions that may change operating parameters and impact lamp performance. Applications and conditions of use are many and varied and beyond our control, so purchasers and users should make their own determinations as to the suitability of a lamp-ballast combination for their own particular application and use. Compatibility may also extend to ballasts beyond this list, so performing an on-site test before installation is recommended. Contact a sales representative if the ballast to be used is not listed in the table. Information is subject to change without notice.

What category of LED tube types do I look under?
3
Type A LED Tube
(Universal – T8 or T12)
Type A/B LED Tube
(Hybrid - Ballast Bypass – T8)
Each LED tube is outfitted with
an internal driver, and these
lamps run on existing LFL
electronic instant-start,
electronic programmed start
ballast, or older magnetic
ballasts.
The Universal tubes are used for
older installations where you do
not know if a T8 or T12 bulb
was present and what kind of
ballast may be in the fixture.
Each LED tube is outfitted
with an internal driver, and
these lamps run on existing
LFL electronic instant-start or
programmed start ballast.
HOWEVER – these tubes can
also be used as a Type B
lamp, where they can be
used in a fixture that is re-
wired to bypass the ballast.
These tubes can also run
directly from line voltage.
Type A LED Tube
(Standard – T5 or T8)
Each LED tube is outfitted with
an internal driver, and these
lamps run on existing LFL
electronic instant-start or
programmed start ballast.
Type A LED Tubes are ideal for
those seeking high energy
savings with minimal
installation time. Convert your
existing linear fluorescent
fixture to LED lighting without
needing a comprehensive
reinstall.
