The ARANI T8 Socket - 2 pin is engineered to support modern LED tube technology while maintaining backward compatibility with traditional fluorescent lamp wiring configurations. Its non-shunted design makes it suitable for use with direct-wire LED tubes that bypass the ballast entirely, as well as compatible with various tube types depending on your installation method. This versatility makes it an essential component for any linear lighting retrofit or new build.
Constructed from high-grade, flame-retardant thermoplastic, this socket is designed to withstand the thermal demands of continuous lighting operation. Quality contact pins deliver a secure electrical connection, reducing the risk of flickering, arcing, or intermittent power loss. The robust terminal construction ensures consistent conductivity over thousands of hours of use, supporting the long lifespan that LED tube lighting is known for.
This product is cUL/CSA approved, meeting the rigorous safety and performance benchmarks required for electrical components sold and installed across Canada. The socket's design complies with Canadian electrical code requirements, giving homeowners and electricians alike confidence in its safe operation. It is rated for appropriate voltage and current capacities to handle standard residential and light commercial LED tube applications.
Installation is simple and accessible even for those with basic electrical knowledge. The snap-in or screw-mount design allows for quick attachment to fixture housings, tombstone brackets, or custom mounting surfaces. When paired with quality ARANI LED T8 tubes, this socket helps deliver meaningful energy savings compared to traditional fluorescent lighting — reducing electricity consumption and eliminating the need for ballast replacements. As always, we recommend having a licensed electrician handle any hardwired electrical work to ensure a safe, code-compliant installation.
