The internal driver in plug-and-play LED tubes, also known as ballast compatible ( check with our ballast compatibility list) or "Type A" tubes, allows them to operate with a linear fluorescent ballast. These 18 Watts T8 LED Plug and play Tube fixtures come with a clear glass finish. These plug-and-play tubes deliver an output of 1620 Lumens with a CCT of 5000 K. These light fixtures are designed to withstand and function in a voltage range of 120-277V. These tubes come with a lifespan of 50,000 hours and a manufacturer warranty of 5-years. Plug and play eliminate the need for expensive electrical jobs, providing customers with greater versatility and convenience.
The LED tubes that can work with the existing fluorescent tubes do not need any change in a circuit for power supply and hence it is easy to install such LED tubes. But, you just have one disadvantage with such ballast-compatible LED tubes and that is -- the ballast consumes extra power and if the ballast fails, you will need to undergo through ballast replacement in the event that it fails. You need shunted sockets for plug-and-play.
Whether it’s 2ft, 4ft or 8ft LED tube, one of the jaw-dropping features of LED tubes is that they don’t flicker unlike what you would have definitely observed in case of fluorescent tubes. The LED tubes start instantly and once they start, they don’t flicker and produce a humming sound.
The LED tubes accept an input voltage of 120V-277V. You can go for a waterproof transformer in case you don’t have this voltage and wish to convert this voltage range to some other.
The LED tubes will require low or no maintenance if you are going for a ballast bypass option of LED tube installation. Though not very frequent, you may have to replace the ballasts once in the total lifetime of LED tubes, if you are going for ballast compatibility option and hence you will have to bear with slightly higher maintenance costs when choosing the former option.
The lifespan of LED tubes is no less than 50,000 hours or 5.7 years if the tubes are operated upon for 24 hours a day. Can last longer, if the tubes are kept ON for only 12 hours a day.
The CRI being greater than 80 for LED tubes, whatever object comes in the light distribution range appears to be real and natural up to 80% extent on a CRI scale of 1-100 and as it would have appeared in the natural light.
The LED tubes have a big heat sink made of aluminum and that’s a pretty good reason as to why the LED tubes don’t warm up too soon to be in consistent operation. This is in extreme contrast with the fluorescent tubes that warmed up too soon and required cooling down to operate efficiently.
The LED tubes can save energy up to 75% in extreme contrast with fluorescent tubes that consume a lot of energy to bring you a higher energy bill. We highly recommend going for our LED tubes that are an excellent combo of lumen brightness and energy-savings.

The LED tubes were one of the first LED lighting products to have become rebate eligible. All our LED tubes are DLC approved to make you eligible for a rebate.
Embedded inside the LED tube is a high-quality standalone chip -- SMD LED -- made from many numbers of chips to ensure high performance and reliability.
