Upgrade to 8 Foot LED Bulbs for Long-Lasting, Energy-Efficient Light
Looking to replace eight foot fluorescent tubes in your strip lights, troffers, or high bay fixtures? Our selection of 8ft LED bulbs offers a powerful, energy-efficient alternative to traditional T8 and T12 fluorescent tubes. These long-lasting tubes are perfect for commercial and industrial spaces such as hospitals, warehouses, parking garages, and more.
Designed to reduce maintenance and operating costs, many 8 foot LED bulbs are DLC certified and may qualify for local or state energy rebates. For demanding environments, select models come with a shatter-resistant coating that meets NSF/ANSI standards, ensuring safety and durability.
Installation Options: Ballast Bypass or Plug-and-Play
Ballast bypass tubes operate directly off line voltage, eliminating the need for a ballast and reducing future maintenance. These double-ended LED tubes work with single-pin FA8 sockets, with power wired to both ends of the fixture. Many are compatible with both T8 and T12 fluorescent replacements, making them ideal for retrofits.
Ballast Compatible (Plug-and-Play):
For a quicker install, plug-and-play 8ft LED bulbs work with your existing fluorescent ballast—no rewiring necessary. Just confirm your ballast is listed on the product’s Ballast Compatibility PDF, and you're ready to upgrade.
Need brighter performance? Choose high output 8-foot LED tubes with a recessed double contact (R17d) base, designed to replace T8 HO and T12 HO fluorescent lamps. These operate as double-ended direct wire tubes after the fixture is rewired and the ballast is removed.
Why Choose 8ft LED Bulbs from 1000Bulbs.com?
- Available by the case for convenience and bulk savings
- Long-lasting: Up to 50,000 hours of life

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I replace an 8 foot fluorescent tube with an LED bulb?
Yes! You can replace eight foot fluorescent tubes with 8ft LED bulbs using either ballast bypass (direct wire) or plug-and-play models. Be sure to confirm your socket type (FA8 or R17d) and ballast compatibility when applicable.
What’s the difference between ballast bypass and plug-and-play?
Ballast bypass tubes require removing the existing ballast and wiring directly to line voltage—ideal for long-term savings. Plug-and-play tubes work with compatible ballasts, allowing for a faster, no-rewire installation.
Are 8ft LED bulbs compatible with T12 fixtures?
Yes. Many 8ft LED tubes are designed to be T8 and T12 compatible, especially when using a ballast bypass setup. Always check the product specs or reach out to our support team for confirmation.
