Direct fluorescent replacement
This 48-inch T8 LED tube replaces 40 W fluorescent lamps using the existing fixture and electronic ballast. It delivers 1800 lm of bright white light while drawing only 15 W at 120 V. The 50.38-inch length and 1.57-inch height match standard T8 dimensions for a straightforward retrofit.
Ballast-compatible upgrade
The tube works with compatible electronic ballasts, so no rewiring is required in most fixtures. Rated life reaches 36000 hours, which equals roughly 16 years at six hours of daily use. This makes the switch worthwhile for installations where frequent relamping is costly or disruptive.
Working-space illumination
The 1800 lm output suits garages, workshops, basements and similar working spaces where consistent bright white light is needed. It is not intended for enclosed fixtures that exceed thermal limits or for dimming circuits unless the ballast specifically supports dimming. Diameter is 3.35 inches.
