Topaz Lighting L4T8B/U6/840/15F-70 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Do I have to remove the ballast to install the Topaz L4T8B/U6/840/15F-70 U-tube LED?
Yes. This is a bypass (direct-wire) lamp, so the existing fluorescent ballast comes out of the circuit and line voltage is wired straight to the sockets. It's single-ended, meaning line and neutral land on one end of the lamp. That's an electrician's job, not a lamp swap, so budget the labor when you're pricing a retrofit across a building.
2) Can I install this lamp without rewiring, as a plug-and-play over the existing ballast?
No. This is a bypass lamp only, so it will not operate on an existing fluorescent ballast. If you need a lamp that runs on the ballast already in the fixture, you want a ballast-compatible (Type A) U-tube instead. Attempting to install a bypass lamp in an un-rewired fixture will not light it.
3) Can I use the same Topaz U-tube lamp on both 120V and 277V circuits in my building?
Yes. The lamp runs on 120-277VAC, so one part number covers 120V office circuits and 277V commercial lighting panels. For a property manager or MRO buyer standardizing stock, that means a single SKU on the shelf instead of voltage-specific versions.
4) Is 4000K the right color for an office or classroom retrofit?
4000K is neutral white, the most common choice for offices, classrooms, and retail because it reads clean without the blue cast of 5000K. If you are mixing this into a space that already has 3500K or 5000K lamps, the difference will be visible, so re-lamp a whole room or zone at a time rather than one fixture.
5) What wattage does this replace, and how much energy will I actually save?
The lamp draws 15.5W and Topaz rates it at up to 40% energy savings versus the fluorescent U-tube technology it replaces. Combined with the ballast being removed from the circuit, there's no ballast loss on top of the lamp draw either.
6) What do I order to get this exact Topaz lamp?
Order Topaz part number L4T8B/U6/840/15F-70. Reading the code: L4T8B is the LED 4-foot-class T8 bypass lamp, U6 is the 6-inch U-bend leg spacing designation, 840 is 80 CRI at 4000K, and 15F is the 15.5W frosted version. There is one configuration, so there are no finish or voltage options to specify.
7) Will a frosted lens cut the glare complaints we get in open-plan offices?
The frosted lens spreads output over a seamless 160 degree end-to-end emitting area rather than showing individual diodes, which is what makes clear-lens LED tubes look harsh in an open ceiling. In a lensed or louvered troffer you may not notice the difference; in an open strip or a fixture where the lamp is visible, frosted is the one to specify.
8) How long before I have to re-lamp these again?
Rated life is 50,000 hours, which Topaz states is twice the life of comparable fluorescent U-tubes. On a 12-hour-a-day school or office schedule that's roughly a decade between lamp changes, which is the real argument for the retrofit on a maintenance budget rather than an energy one.
