    T8 LED TUBE 2' - 8W
    T8 LED TUBE 2' - 8W

    T8 LED TUBE 2' - 8W

    SKU: LCT8-2F-BYPASS-9W-5CCT

    Brand: LEDCO

    Still living with flickering fluorescent tubes and a buzzing ballast? This 2' T8 LED tube is the simple upgrade for your 2-foot fixtures. Often searched as a ballast bypass LED tube, a direct-wire T8 LED or a 2-foot LED tube to replace a T8 fluorescent tube, it takes the place of the old lamp in strip lights, wraparound fixtures, under-cabinet lights and troffers. It is a smart choice for basements, laundry rooms, workshops, closets, storage rooms, offices and stores, in residential and commercial projects alike.

    Because it is a ballast bypass tube, it is wired directly to the line voltage instead of relying on the old ballast: no more ballast to fail, replace or hum, and one less component drawing power inside the fixture. Its 5CCT design offers 5 selectable colour temperatures in a single tube, so the same product can give a warmer tone to a basement family room or a crisper white to a workshop or an office. For contractors and property managers, that means fewer different tubes to keep on the shelf. And like all LED lighting, it uses far less energy than the fluorescent tube it replaces, without the slow, flickering start of an aging fluorescent.

    Use it in 2-foot strip fixtures above a workbench, in a laundry room or a storage room, in under-cabinet or display fixtures, or in the troffers of an office or a boutique. In Canada, where many basements and workshops still run on older fluorescent fixtures, switching to LED tubes is one of the easiest energy upgrades. Need a new socket during the conversion? See the adapter for T8 LED tube, and for longer fixtures, the T8 LED tube 8' 42W. Choose the LCT8-2F-BYPASS-9W-5CCT and give your fixtures a second life.

    From fluorescent to LED, the easy way
    The LCT8-2F-BYPASS-9W-5CCT is a 2-foot T8 LED tube made to replace a fluorescent T8 tube in an existing fixture. Instead of tearing out the whole luminaire, you keep the housing, the diffuser and the mounting, and you change the light source. It is a practical, efficient way to modernize dozens of fixtures in an office, a school or a warehouse, and a quick weekend project for a homeowner who wants to refresh the basement, the laundry room or the workshop with LED retrofit lighting.

    What does ballast bypass mean?
    A fluorescent tube needs a ballast to start and regulate the current. A ballast bypass LED tube does not: the ballast is removed or disconnected, and the sockets of the fixture are wired directly to the line voltage (a direct-wire installation), as required by the tube. Why choose this approach? Old ballasts eventually fail, can hum or buzz, and consume power of their own. Bypassing them eliminates that weak point, avoids any compatibility issue between the LED tube and an existing ballast, and simplifies future maintenance: when the time comes, you replace a tube, not a ballast.

    5 colour temperatures in one tube
    The 5CCT feature means the tube offers 5 selectable colour temperatures. This flexibility lets you match the light to the room: a warmer setting for a finished basement, a playroom or a laundry room, a cooler setting for a workshop, an office or a retail display. When several tubes light the same space, set them all to the same colour temperature for a uniform, professional result. For maintenance teams, one tube that covers 5 colour options simplifies inventory across many buildings.

    Installation and applications
    Converting a fixture to ballast bypass means working on line-voltage wiring: have a qualified electrician do the work, with the power off at the breaker and in compliance with the electrical code in force. The electrician will remove or disconnect the ballast, check the condition of the sockets and wire them as required by the tube; a cracked or worn socket can be replaced with the adapter for T8 LED tube. Once converted, mark the fixture so no one reinstalls a fluorescent tube in it later. Typical applications include 2-foot fixtures in basements, closets, laundry rooms, under-cabinet lights, display cases, offices and classrooms.
