Frequently Asked Questions

What does the "T" and the number (T8, T5, T12) mean?

The "T" stands for Tubular. The number indicates the diameter of the tube in eighths of an inch. For example, a T8 tube is 8/8ths (1 inch) in diameter, and a T5 tube is 5/8ths of an inch.

Can I mix Plug-and-Play and Ballast Bypass tubes in the same fixture?

No. You must use only one type of LED tube light per fixture. Plug-and-Play tubes require the ballast to be connected; Ballast Bypass tubes require the ballast to be removed. Mixing them will damage the bulbs and potentially the fixture.

Will an LED tube work with my old magnetic ballast?

Some LED tubes are designed to be compatible with magnetic ballasts, but most modern LED tube lights are optimized for electronic ballasts. It is safest to check the specifications or opt for the Ballast Bypass method.

What is the typical light lifespan of an LED tube?

LED fluorescent replacement lamps are typically rated for 50,000 hours of life, which is significantly longer than the 20,000 to 30,000 hours of traditional fluorescent lamps.

What are the advantages of an LED tube over an LED PL plug-in lamp?

LED tubes provide light linearly and are designed for large troffer fixtures to ensure wide, even light distribution across a large ceiling area. PL lamps are compact and designed for small, recessed downlights.
