Energy-Efficient Upgrades with Ballast Bypass T8 LED Tubes
Say goodbye to outdated fluorescent lighting and enjoy the energy savings and long lifespan of retrofit T8 LED tube lights. These tubes use significantly less power than fluorescent equivalents, are RoHS compliant, and help reduce long-term maintenance costs. You can even replicate the look of traditional fluorescents with cool white 4100K options.
Direct Wire LED Tubes: Bypass the Ballast for Better Performance
Ballast bypass LED T8 tubes—also called direct wire LED tubes—connect directly to line voltage, completely removing the need for a ballast. This bypass eliminates compatibility issues and avoids the future expense of ballast maintenance or failure.
PLT-60043 is a great example of a direct wire LED T8 tube offering high output and reliable performance for commercial environments.
Benefits of ballast bypass T8 LEDs:
- Improved efficiency and reliability
- Lower system complexity (no ballast = fewer parts to fail)
- Works in a wide range of commercial and residential applications
Note: Direct wire installations require fixture rewiring and should be performed by a qualified electrician.
Hybrid Type A+B LED Tubes: Flexible Installation
Not sure if you want plug-and-play or ballast bypass? Choose Type A+B hybrid T8 LED tubes. These flexible lamps work with your existing ballast now and can be rewired to bypass it later when the ballast fails. It’s the perfect future-proof option for simplified upgrades. Products like the PLT-90031 hybrid LED tube provide both options in one solution.
Type C LED Tubes: External Driver Performance
For advanced lighting control, consider Type C LED driver compatible tubes. These operate with a remote driver that replaces the ballast entirely. With the external driver, you gain:
- Dimming capabilities using 0–10V controls
- Adjustable wattage for tailored brightness
- Elimination of ballast-related issues and costs
Make sure to purchase the compatible LED driver when ordering your Type C tubes to ensure optimal performance.
