GE 99689 LED T8 Tubes for Fluorescent Replacement

The GE 99689 pack contains six 36 inch LED T8 tubes designed to replace linear fluorescent lamps in commercial and residential fixtures. Each tube produces 1900 lumens at 4000K cool white with a CRI of 80 while drawing 13 watts. They are intended for installations where an external LED driver is already present or will be added.

Sustained Output with External Driver

Because these are Type C tubes, light output and power draw remain stable as long as the separate driver operates within its rated range. The glass envelope and 70000 hour rated life support consistent lumen maintenance over extended daily run times in offices, retail spaces or warehouses. No internal driver heat is added to the fixture cavity.

Simple Retrofit When Driver Is Ready

Installation consists of removing the old fluorescent lamps and ballast, wiring the compatible external driver, and snapping the Medium Bi-Pin G13 bases into existing sockets. The process fails if the driver is mismatched, omitted or wired incorrectly. Non-dimmable operation means dimming controls must not be used.

Questions about this item

Does the 13-watt LED tube run cool enough for continuous all-day use in an enclosed fixture?

The tube draws 13 watts and produces 1900 lumens, so heat output is low; however, Type C tubes rely on an external driver that must also be mounted where it can dissipate heat.

What external LED driver do I need to operate these Type C tubes?

A compatible Type C LED driver matched to 13-watt, 36-inch T8 tubes with G13 bases is required; the driver is not included in the six-tube pack.

Can I keep my existing fluorescent ballast and just swap in these 99689 tubes?

No, Type C tubes require removal of the fluorescent ballast and installation of an external LED driver; they will not operate on the old ballast.
