RAB T8-13-U6G-835-SD-HYB – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the RAB 13W U-bend LED tube work in my existing fixture without rewiring it?
Yes. The RAB T8-13-U6G U-bend is a hybrid Type A+B lamp, so it runs off an existing fluorescent ballast (Type A) or off line voltage at 120-277V once the ballast is bypassed (Type B). That means a maintenance crew can drop it in today on the ballast, and when that ballast eventually fails, bypass it and keep the same lamp instead of buying a different one.
2) What size fixture does the RAB 13W U-bend T8 LED tube fit?
The U-bend measures 23.23 by 7.09 by 1.18 inches, which is the standard 2-foot U-shaped lamp footprint used in 2x2 troffers. The 7.09 inch dimension is the leg spacing, so confirm your existing lamp is the same U-bend leg spacing (6 inch nominal, as the U6G designation indicates) rather than the narrower 1-5/8 inch spacing before ordering.
3) Does the RAB U-bend T8 LED tube qualify for a utility rebate?
It is listed to DLC version 5.1, which is the qualification most commercial utility rebate programs reference for linear LED lamps. For an institutional or municipal retrofit, that DLC 5.1 listing is what the program administrator asks for when you submit the lamp for pre-approval.
4) Is single-ended or double-ended wiring required for the RAB 13W hybrid U-bend tube?
Either works. The lamp is built single/double ended, so when you bypass the ballast for Type B operation you can feed line and neutral to one end or split them across the two ends, whichever the fixture's existing sockets and wiring make easier. Single-ended bypass usually means changing only one lampholder; double-ended lets you keep shunted sockets on both ends.
5) What color temperature should I order for the RAB 13W U-bend LED tube?
Four color temperatures are offered, all at 80 CRI: 3000K, 3500K, 4000K, and 5000K. Warmer 3000K and 3500K suit hospitality and healthcare patient areas; 4000K is the usual neutral pick for offices, schools, and retail; 5000K reads cool and crisp for warehouse and industrial space. If you are relamping only part of a building, match the CCT already installed, because a 4000K and a 5000K lamp in adjacent troffers will look obviously mismatched.
6) How long will these RAB U-bend LED tubes last before a relamp?
Rated life is 50,000 hours. On a school or office running roughly 3,000 hours a year that is over 16 years of service; on a 24/7 hospital corridor at about 8,760 hours a year it works out closer to 5-1/2 years. For a facilities budget, that is the number to plan the next relamp cycle against.
7) Can I run the RAB 13W hybrid U-bend tube on 277 volts?
Yes, in Type B mode the lamp accepts anything from 120 to 277 volts, so the same part number works on 120V single-phase circuits in a small building and on 277V lighting branch circuits in a commercial or industrial panel. In Type A mode the input is whatever the existing ballast delivers, so the ballast's own voltage rating governs.
8) Are all four color temperatures of the RAB U-bend tube the same wattage and length?
Yes. The 3000K, 3500K, 4000K, and 5000K versions share the same 13 watt draw, the same 23.23 inch length, and the same hybrid single/double ended construction. Only the CCT changes, so you can mix them across a building without any change to the fixture wiring or the circuit load calculation.
9) What is the exact RAB part number for a 4000K U-bend LED tube?
T8-13-U6G-840-SD-HYB is the 4000K, 80 CRI version. The family runs T8-13-U6G-830-SD-HYB for 3000K, -835- for 3500K, -840- for 4000K, and -850- for 5000K. The 830/835/840/850 block is CRI and color temperature, SD is single/double ended, and HYB is the hybrid Type A+B driver.
10) How much does a RAB 13W U-bend LED tube weigh for a ceiling relamp?
Each lamp weighs 0.49 pounds, well under the fluorescent U-tube it replaces, so a two-lamp 2x2 troffer carries under a pound of lamp. There is no glass to break in handling, which matters when a crew is relamping hundreds of ceiling fixtures off a lift.
