Type A Plug-and-Play T8 LED Tube

This Type A T8 LED tube operates through a verified compatible electronic ballast for plug-and-play replacement in existing G13 fixtures. The series covers 590, 895 and 1199 mm lengths with clear, milky or shatter-resistant glass options for indoor commercial and institutional lighting.

Wide Tubular Distribution: A 320-degree beam spreads light across the reflector instead of concentrating it in a narrow forward strip.
Compact LED Package: SMD2835 LEDs form a continuous linear source inside the familiar T8 profile.
Shatter-Control Option: PET-coated glass helps retain fragments when breakage control is required in occupied interiors.
Compatible Retrofit Route: An approved lamp-ballast pairing keeps the existing electronic ballast and avoids opening the fixture wiring.

Product Description

Product Details

Product Construction

The straight 26 mm lamp body uses a glass envelope with G13 PC or aluminium end caps and double-ended electrical input. Clear and milky versions change the visible diffusion, while a PET-coated version is available as a separate glass construction.

Selection & Installation Notes

Select the required length and lumen row, then match the exact electronic ballast before installation. The stated lamp input is ballast-dependent rather than a universal fixed wattage, and emergency or dimming equipment requires explicit compatibility confirmation.

Recommended Application

Applications

Office Troffers: Replace compatible fluorescent tubes in recessed office troffers without changing the approved ballast circuit.
Schools and Hospitals: Provide linear general lighting in classrooms, corridors and care facilities with compatible G13 fixtures.
Retail Stores: Illuminate aisles and general merchandise areas from existing compatible linear fixtures.
Parking Garages: Replace compatible fluorescent lamps in enclosed parking and service-area fixtures.

Frequently Asked Questions?

Find clear answers to common questions about product specifications, model selection, applications, and quotation requirements. For project-specific needs, send us your target market, required quantity, and key specifications.

Will this Type A T8 tube work with any electronic ballast?

No. Match the exact ballast manufacturer, model and lamp count to the approved compatibility information for the ordered tube.

Does installation require fixture rewiring?

No rewiring is required when the existing G13 fixture and electronic ballast are compatible and remain correctly wired for Type A operation.

Why is the input wattage marked as ballast-dependent?

The retained ballast affects the electrical input delivered to the lamp, so the listed 9, 12, 15 and 18 W values are approximate references for the approved combinations.

Which tube lengths and outputs are listed?

The listed rows cover 590 mm at 1300 lm, 895 mm at 1500 lm, and 1199 mm at either 1800 or 2150 lm.

Which glass versions are available?

Select clear glass, milky glass or PET-coated shatter-resistant glass according to the required diffusion and breakage-control approach.

Can this tube be used with emergency or dimming ballasts?

Only when the exact lamp-ballast combination is explicitly confirmed as compatible; standard Type A compatibility does not automatically cover emergency or dimming equipment.
