Built for fluorescent retrofitsThe ARANI V10
4 foot LED tube was designed for converting fluorescent fixtures in commercial and industrial spaces. As a
Type B (ballast bypass) tube, it takes power directly from the line once the ballast is removed, so there is no ballast left to hum, fail or draw extra power. Its glass construction keeps the look of a traditional tube, and its 100° beam angle sends the light where you need it, onto desks, shelves and work surfaces.
Light output and efficiencyWith 18W of power, the tube produces up to
2,200 lumens, for an efficacy of
122 lm/W and a 30W equivalent. The 5000K colour temperature gives a crisp daylight white that keeps offices, classrooms, warehouses and retail aisles bright and alert, while the CRI of 80+ helps with reading colours and printed documents. Rated for 50,000 hours and covered by a 5-year warranty, it reduces relamping in places where you need a ladder or a lift to reach the fixtures. The operating temperature ranges from -20°C to 40°C.
Electrical and installationThe universal input of
120-347V (170 mA max) lets you use the same tube on 120V and 347V circuits, a real advantage in Canadian commercial buildings where
347V lighting is common. To install, turn off the power at the breaker, remove the ballast and wire the sockets directly to line voltage, following the ARANI instructions and the Canadian Electrical Code. The model number is T48T8-18W-50K-MV-V10 and the tube is certified cETLus. To keep the ballast on some fixtures, look at the
4 ft T8 5000K Type A+B 15W tube or the
4 ft T8 4000K Type A+B 15W tube.
