Satco|Nuvo 8-Foot Lamp Ready Fixture — Type B Ballast Bypass / 120-347V

The 65-905 is an architectural-grade linear empty body fixture designed for demanding commercial Type B ballast bypass applications. Operating on a versatile 120-347V circuit, this lamp-ready channel safely accommodates direct-wire LED tube configurations. It ships in an innovative modular design to support complex municipal facilities, workshops, or distribution centers requiring customizable, high-output linear lighting.

Key Features

  • 8-Foot Configuration: Includes four Fa8 wired holders to support a two by 8-foot lamp layout.
  • Socket Interchangeability: Equipped with interchangeable Fa8 and R17d lamp holders for standard and high-output lamps (Sold Separately).
  • Modular Design: Ships in two 4-foot sections connected by a secure joining plate for easier handling.
  • Input Voltage: Configured for 120-347V inputs to integrate effortlessly into standard commercial grids.

  • Housing Material: Fabricated from industrial-grade steel with a high-reflectance white finish.

Performance & Illumination

As an empty body fixture channel, this unit does not include integrated lighting components. The final lumen output, color temperature, and beam distribution are entirely dependent on the specific direct-wire LED tubes selected by the installer. Its highly reflective white steel housing acts to maximize the downward distribution of light, providing uniform and highly visible illumination across large commercial spaces.

Electrical & Battery

The fixture features high-quality internal wiring optimized for Type B ballast bypass installations, eliminating ballast maintenance entirely. It is capable of accepting a wide 120-347V input range to maximize facility compatibility and accommodates a maximum electrical load of 660W. As a standard linear channel, this unit operates exclusively on AC power and does not include an internal battery backup.

Physical & Installation Details

Constructed from impact-resistant steel, the housing is intelligently designed to ship in two 4-foot sections that assemble seamlessly with an included connector plate. This modular approach significantly eases handling and overhead lifting during installation. Installers can easily configure the unit on-site utilizing the included 8 x G13 holders for four 4-foot lamps, or the 4 x Fa8 holders for two 8-foot lamps, alongside the interchangeable R17d sockets.

Compliance & Safety

This lamp-ready fixture is rigorously tested and cETLus listed, meeting strict safety protocols for commercial direct-wire deployment. It carries an official damp location rating, making it suitable for installation in areas subject to moderate moisture. Furthermore, the unit is California Title 20 exempt and fully lawful for sale.
