Technical FAQ Deep-Dive
What wattage options are available for the 8 Foot T8 LED Tube?
The 8 Foot T8 LED Tube offers five selectable wattage settings: 24W, 30W, 36W, 42W, and 48W. This allows the tube to be set to the required output level based on fixture count, mounting height, and target illuminance.
What lumen outputs correspond to each wattage setting?
The lumen packages by wattage are: 24W provides 3,600 lumens, 30W provides 4,380 lumens, 36W provides 5,000 lumens, 42W provides 5,550 lumens, and 48W provides 6,050 lumens. These steps make it possible to standardize on one SKU while tuning output per space.
How does 126–150 lm/W efficacy affect connected load and ROI?
An efficacy range of 126–150 lm/W reduces wattage required to deliver a given lumen level, which improves energy performance for long daily run hours. For ROI, compare the selected tube wattage against the existing lamp-and-ballast system wattage (including ballast losses), multiply the watt reduction by annual operating hours and the blended utility rate, then add any DLC Premium rebate value and expected maintenance savings from reduced relamp cycles.
What color temperature (CCT) options are available, and how should they be selected?
The selectable CCT options are 3500K, 4000K, 5000K, 5700K, and 6500K. 3500K is typically used where a warmer neutral appearance is preferred, 4000K is a common general-purpose commercial setting, 5000K is frequently chosen for task visibility, 5700K is used where higher contrast is needed, and 6500K is selected for daylight-white conditions in detail-oriented areas.
What does the FA8 base indicate for compatibility?
The tube uses an FA8 base, which is specific to certain 8-foot fluorescent fixture lampholders. Confirm the existing lampholder type is FA8 before specifying, since FA8 is not interchangeable with other 8-foot base styles.
What does Type A+B wiring mean in practical terms?
Type A+B indicates the tube supports either ballast-compatible operation (Type A) or ballast-bypass operation (Type B). The specification lists single- or double-ended wiring compatibility for Type B, so installers can match the wiring method to the existing fixture configuration and project standards.
Is this tube dimmable?
The specification lists 0–10V dimming. In the field, dimming performance depends on the control path used in the retrofit configuration, so confirm the intended dimming method is supported by the selected driver/ballast approach used on the project.
What certifications support rebate and compliance documentation?
The 8 Foot T8 LED Tube is cETLus Listed and DLC Premium Listed. These listings support safety documentation and are commonly used for utility rebate submittals where DLC Premium qualification is required.
What is the minimum operating temperature, and why does it matter?
The minimum operating temperature is -4°F. This matters for unconditioned spaces and cold-start applications, where driver performance and initial light output can be affected by low ambient temperatures.
What are the physical dimensions for fixture fit checks?
The tube dimensions are 92.78" L × 1.29" H × 1.13" D. Verify fixture channel length, lampholder spacing, and any internal obstructions before standardizing the retrofit across multiple fixture types.
What warranty coverage is provided for this case pack?
This product is covered by a 5-year limited warranty. For closeout documentation, record the configured wattage and CCT settings used for each area so maintenance can match the installed configuration during future replacements.
