Satco S11926 14W 4' T8 Ballast Bypass LED Tube 4000K

4-Foot Ballast Bypass LED T8 Tube by Satco

The S11926 from Satco is a 14-watt, 4-foot T8 ballast bypass LED tube designed to replace a 32-watt fluorescent tube. It is suitable for damp-location fixtures with an Fa8 base. Key features include 1,900 lumens, 4000K neutral white light and a 120V to 277V input range.

Key Features and Benefits of This LED T8 Tube

Drawing 14 watts instead of 32 cuts energy use, while the 50,000-hour rated life reduces lamp changes. Running without a ballast removes a component that can fail and need service. The 4000K color suits work areas, and the 80 CRI (Color Rendering Index) gives acceptable color accuracy.

Where to Use the S11926 LED T8 Tube

This tube suits damp-location fixtures that currently use 4-foot fluorescent T8 lamps and where neutral white light is preferred. It is damp-location rated and works from minus 25 to 45 degrees Celsius, but it is not listed for wet locations.

Installation and Compatibility Checks

Ballast bypass means the fixture must be rewired so the ballast is no longer in the circuit, so follow the manufacturer installation sheet and use a qualified electrician. Confirm your fixture has an Fa8 base, takes a 48-inch lamp, and runs on 120V to 277V. Dimming is not listed.

Additional Buying Context

This lamp carries a 5-year manufacturer warranty and is cULus and ETLus listed. If you would rather keep your existing ballast in place, look for a different tube type, since this one is not designed to work with a ballast.
