RAB PLC-9-H-850-BYP – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What does ballast bypass mean on the RAB PLC-9 lamp, and do I have to rewire the fixture?
Ballast bypass means the RAB PLC-9 compact LED lamp runs on line voltage directly, so the existing CFL ballast has to be removed or bypassed and the socket wired straight to the incoming 120-277V line. It will not operate on a ballast. Budget the labor for that rewire on every fixture in the count, because a bypass lamp dropped into a ballasted fixture does not light.
2) Will the RAB PLC-9 work on 277 volt commercial circuits as well as 120?
One lamp covers both. The PLC-9 accepts 120-277V input, so the same part number works on 120V tenant spaces and 277V commercial or industrial branch circuits. For a property manager or MRO buyer standardizing across a portfolio, that means a single stocked lamp instead of separate voltage SKUs.
3) What is the difference between the horizontal and vertical version of the RAB PLC compact LED lamp?
Horizontal refers to how the lamp sits relative to the fixture once installed. The PLC-9-H is the horizontal configuration, built for sockets where the lamp lays out sideways, such as downlights and wall sconces where the socket is mounted on its side. If your fixture holds the CFL pointing straight up or down out of the can, the horizontal body will throw light into the reflector wall rather than out of the aperture. Check the existing lamp's orientation in the fixture before ordering the H version.
4) How big is the RAB 9W compact LED lamp, and will it fit in a shallow downlight can?
The lamp measures 6.6 inches in height with a 1.5 inch width and 1.5 inch length, and weighs 0.22 lb. The 1.5 inch cross-section is slim, but the 6.6 inch overall length is what decides it: measure from the socket face to the trim or the back of the can before you order a case. In a horizontal application, that 6.6 inches is the reach across the fixture cavity.
5) Which color temperature should I order for the RAB PLC-9 compact lamp?
Four are offered, one per part number: 3000K on the PLC-9-H-830-BYP, 3500K on the PLC-9-H-835-BYP, 4000K on the PLC-9-H-840-BYP, and 5000K on the PLC-9-H-850-BYP. Warm 3000K suits hospitality and multi-family common areas, 3500K is the usual neutral for offices and retail, 4000K reads clean and white for healthcare and education, and 5000K is the daylight choice for warehouse and industrial space. The color is fixed by the part number you buy, so match the number to what is already installed if you are relamping part of a building.
6) How much energy does a 9W RAB LED compact lamp save over the CFL it replaces?
The lamp draws 9 watts and puts out 950 to 1000 lumens. That lumen range is what a 26W compact fluorescent typically produces, so the connected load per socket drops by roughly two thirds. Across a few hundred fixtures on a 24/7 corridor schedule, that is the number that carries the retrofit proposal.
7) How long does the RAB PLC-9 LED lamp last before it needs relamping?
Rated life is 50,000 hours. On a 12 hour daily schedule that is over 11 years of service, and on a corridor or parking-structure circuit burning 24 hours a day it is close to 5.7 years. For an MRO or facilities buyer, that is the figure that takes compact fluorescent relamping off the annual work order.
8) Can I put the RAB ballast bypass lamp on a dimmer or an occupancy sensor circuit?
Treat the PLC-9-H-BYP as a line voltage LED lamp on a 120-277V feed. Occupancy and vacancy sensors that switch the line are straightforward, since the lamp sees a simple on or off. Dimming is a separate question and not something to assume from the wattage: if the space needs dimming, confirm the control scheme before you commit a large lamp count, because a fluorescent dimming ballast in the fixture gets removed as part of the bypass anyway.
9) Will the white finish on the RAB compact LED lamp show in an open or glass fixture?
The lamp body is white, which disappears in a downlight can or a diffused sconce but is visible in an open decorative fixture or a clear glass lens. In hospitality and lobby applications where the lamp is in sight, that matters more than in a back-of-house corridor.
