Type B - Ballast Bypass - 4000 Kelvin - T8 Retrofit LED Tubes

Type B ballast bypass 4000 Kelvin T8 retrofit LED tubes are a type of energy-efficient lighting technology designed to replace traditional fluorescent lamps in commercial and residential settings. These LED tubes are characterized by their 4000 Kelvin color temperature, which produces a bright, neutral white light that is ideal for work environments and other settings where clear visibility is important.

The term "ballast bypass" refers to the fact that these LED tubes require the removal of the existing fluorescent ballast to operate. Instead, the LED tube is connected directly to the electrical circuit, typically using non-shunted lamp holders. This bypass process may require a licensed electrician to ensure proper installation and safety compliance.

By bypassing the ballast, these retrofit LED tubes can operate more efficiently, with lower energy consumption and longer lifetimes. They typically consume around half of the power used by traditional 32-Watt T8 fluorescent lamps, resulting in significant energy savings over time. Additionally, LED technology offers a far longer lifespan.
