GE 43284 48in T8 LED Tube Case of 20

This case contains twenty 48-inch T8 LED tubes designed to replace linear fluorescent lamps in existing fixtures. Each tube delivers 1700 lumens at 3000K soft white colour temperature while drawing 12 watts. The Type A plug-and-play design works with compatible electronic T8 instant-start or programmed-start ballasts.

Facilities wanting fast fluorescent-to-LED

Buyers who want high energy savings with minimal installation time will suit this product. The internal GE driver allows direct replacement of fluorescent tubes without rewiring. It is not for installations where the existing ballast is faulty, incompatible or absent, or for projects requiring ballast-bypass or hybrid tubes.

Check ballast compatibility before ordering

Verify that each fixture uses a functional electronic T8 instant-start or programmed-start ballast listed as compatible. The tubes will not operate on magnetic ballasts, damaged ballasts or fixtures without a ballast. Confirm the fixture accepts 48-inch T8 lamps and that the ballast can support the 12-watt load per tube.

Questions about this item

Do I need a working electronic T8 instant-start or programmed-start ballast already installed for these 48in T8 tubes to operate?

Yes, each 12-watt tube is Type A plug-and-play and requires a functional, compatible LFL ballast; the internal GE driver runs on that existing ballast.

Will these 3000K tubes work in a fixture that currently holds older 48in T8 fluorescent lamps with a compatible ballast?

They are designed as direct replacements — remove the old fluorescent lamps and insert the LED tubes while keeping the original ballast in place.

How can I confirm the 1700-lumen output and 3000K colour temperature are performing correctly after installation?

Measure illuminance at the work plane with a calibrated light meter and compare the reading to the 1700-lumen rating; a 3000K soft-white appearance should be visually evident.
