Key Features and Benefits of This LED T8 Tube

At 30 watts, this tube cuts energy use by roughly half compared to the fluorescent tube it replaces while delivering 3,900 lumens. The field-selectable CCT lets installers match colour temperature on-site rather than stocking multiple SKUs, and the PET shatterproof coating adds protection over standard glass fluorescent tubes.

Where to Use the S11668 LED T8 Tube

This tube suits offices, warehouses, garages, and other spaces using standard 72-inch fluorescent fixtures, and its damp rating extends that to covered outdoor areas and utility rooms. It is not dimmable, so it is not appropriate for fixtures on dimming circuits without switching to a compatible non-dimming setup.

Installation and Compatibility Checks

Type A+B compatibility means this tube can run on an existing fluorescent ballast or be wired for ballast-bypass operation, so confirm which wiring method matches the fixture before installing. It uses an Fa8 single-pin base and operates on 120-277V, covering most standard commercial fixture wiring.

Additional Buying Context

Backed by a 5-year warranty and a rated 50,000-hour lifespan, this tube is built to reduce relamping frequency in high-use commercial spaces. Built-in 0.5kV surge protection adds resilience in facilities where power fluctuations are a concern, making it a durable retrofit for older fluorescent fixtures.
