Satco S49947 8W 2' T8 Ballast Dependent LED Tube

Energy-Saving 2-Foot T8 LED Tube by Satco

The S49947 from Satco is an 8-watt, 2-foot T8 LED tube designed to replace fluorescent tubes in compatible fixtures. It is suitable for damp-location indoor lighting. Key features include 1250 lumens, a 3500K neutral white colour, and a ballast dependent design.

Key Features and Benefits of This LED Tube

At 8 watts, the tube replaces a 17 or 15 watt fluorescent, which can lower energy use and the frequency of lamp changes thanks to a 50,000-hour average life. A CRI (Color Rendering Index) of 82 gives reasonably accurate colours, and the frosted finish helps soften glare.

Where to Use the S49947 LED Tube

This tube is well suited for indoor fixtures such as utility rooms, workspaces, and storage areas where a 24-inch T8 lamp is already in use. It is rated for damp locations, so it can be used where moisture may be present, but it is not rated for wet locations.

Installation and Compatibility Checks

Ballast dependent means the tube works with an existing compatible ballast, so check that your ballast supports this LED type before buying. It has a G13 base, a 24-inch length, and a 120V to 277V rating. The listing shows it as dimmable, so confirm dimmer compatibility with your control.

Additional Buying Context

The tube is DLC Listed (DesignLights Consortium, a program that qualifies energy efficient lighting) and UL/CSA Listed, and carries a 5-year manufacturer warranty. Operating temperature is listed from -20°C to 45°C, so consider that range for cold spaces.
