RAB T8-96G-DE-BYP – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Is the RAB 8-foot T8 LED tube a direct-wire lamp, or will it run on my existing fluorescent ballast?
It's a Type B direct wire lamp, so the existing fluorescent ballast has to come out and line voltage goes straight to the sockets. There is no ballast-compatible (Type A) mode. Plan on a fixture rewire at each housing, and label the fixture as direct wire once it's converted so the next person doesn't drop a standard fluorescent tube back in.
2) Will this 8-foot LED tube fit my existing 96-inch fluorescent strip fixture?
The lamp measures 93.94 inches long and 1.08 inches in both height and width, which is the standard T8 8-foot form factor used in 96-inch strip and industrial fixtures. Check the socket type in your fixture before you order: the tube is a double-ended lamp, so the fixture needs sockets at both ends rather than the single-pin recessed double contact holders found on some older 8-foot slimline fluorescent strips.
3) How do I pick between the 24W, 32W, and 40W settings on this RAB tube?
The wattage is selectable on the lamp itself at 24, 32, or 40 watts, producing 3,418 to 5,481 lumens across that range. Use 40W where you're replacing a pair of old 8-foot fluorescents in a warehouse or shop with high ceilings, 32W for general commercial and retail height, and 24W in offices, corridors, and stairwells where you're trimming energy against a lighting power density budget. Efficacy stays in the 129 to 148 lumens per watt band at every setting.
4) Does this tube work on 277-volt lighting circuits in a commercial building?
Yes. It runs on 120V, 208V, 240V, and 277V. Current draw at 120V is 0.20A/0.28A/0.35A depending on the wattage setting, and at 277V it drops to 0.09A/0.12A/0.15A. That 277V draw is what you use to figure how many tubes you can hang on a 20-amp branch circuit in a warehouse retrofit.
5) Can I set the color temperature on site, or do I have to order a specific Kelvin?
Color temperature is field selectable, five settings on the lamp, so you order one part number and set it at install. For a property manager running mixed buildings that means one SKU on the shelf covers a 3500K office floor and a 5000K parking garage. Set every lamp in a given space to the same position; a mismatched switch on one tube in a row is obvious once the lights are on.
6) How many of these RAB tubes replace my old 8-foot fluorescent lamps one for one?
One lamp per socket pair, straight across. A single 40W setting puts out up to 5,481 lumens, which covers what a typical 8-foot fluorescent delivered while drawing considerably less. The tube is frosted, so the light spreads rather than striping the way a clear lens does, and rated life is 50,000 hours against the few thousand you'd get from fluorescent. The only added work is the ballast removal, since this is a direct wire lamp.
7) Will this tube work with my existing occupancy sensors or dimmers?
On a Type B direct wire lamp the switching happens upstream on the line-voltage circuit, so a relay-based occupancy sensor or a line-voltage contactor controls it the same way it controls any other load. Dimming is a different matter, and the specifications for this tube cover selectable wattage rather than a dimming range, so don't plan the design around 0-10V or phase dimming on this lamp.
8) What is the RAB part number for the 8-foot frosted T8 LED tube?
The manufacturer part number is T8-96G-DE-BYP. It ships in the frosted lens finish, which is the only lens option in the family, and the 96 in the number is the 8-foot nominal length.
9) Is this LED tube heavy enough to be a problem in older fixture sockets?
Each lamp weighs 0.94 pounds, roughly what an 8-foot fluorescent weighs, so existing lampholders carry it without trouble. What's worth checking on older strips is socket condition, since brittle 20-year-old lampholders often crack during a retrofit. Budget replacement sockets on any fixture that has been in service a long time.
