Lamp Types: Plug-and-Play, Direct Wire, Hybrid, and Type C

• Type A (Plug-and-Play): These LED tubes work with compatible fluorescent ballasts—no rewiring needed. Simply remove the fluorescent tube and insert the LED tube.
• Type B (Direct-Wire): Requires bypassing and removing the ballast. These connect directly to line voltage and often require non-shunted sockets. Offers the highest energy efficiency.
• Type A/B (Hybrid): These versatile lamps start as plug-and-play and can later be rewired as direct-wire when the ballast fails—giving you flexibility and future-proofing your investment.
• Type C (External Driver): A newer option that uses a remote LED driver instead of the existing ballast. Offers precise control, 0-10V dimming, and improved compatibility.

Can I use LED lights to replace fluorescent tubes?

Yes! LED tubes are specifically designed to replace fluorescent tubes. Choose plug-and-play (Type A) for minimal effort or direct-wire (Type B) for maximum savings. Hybrid and Type C options also offer flexibility for long-term use.

What are T8 LED bulbs used for?

T8 LED bulbs are commonly used in commercial and residential settings like offices, garages, workshops, and schools. They're ideal for replacing traditional 4-ft fluorescent tubes with better energy efficiency and light quality.

What’s the difference between Type A, B, and C LED tubes?

Type A tubes work with existing ballasts. Type B tubes bypass the ballast and wire directly to power. Type C tubes use an external LED driver for advanced control and dimming features.
