RAB PLL-13.5-840-DIR – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Do I have to remove the ballast to install the RAB PLL LED PL-L lamp?
No. The RAB PLL is a ballast-compatible LED PL-L lamp, so it drops into an existing compact fluorescent fixture and runs off the ballast already in the housing. No rewiring, no ballast bypass, no fixture modification. That keeps the labor to a lamp swap, which is why it suits occupied offices, schools and healthcare spaces where you cannot take a fixture apart on a live floor.
2) Which color temperature should I order to match the fluorescent PL-L lamps already in my building?
Four color temperatures are offered, all at 80 CRI: 3000K, 3500K, 4000K and 5000K. Match the three-digit code in the model number to what is printed on the old lamp. 830 is 3000K warm white, common in hospitality and lobbies. 835 is 3500K, the usual office neutral. 840 is 4000K. 850 is 5000K daylight, typical in industrial and back-of-house areas. Order one temperature across a whole space so the ceiling reads consistently.
3) Will the RAB PLL LED lamp work on 277V commercial circuits as well as 120V?
Yes, the PLL LED PL-L lamp covers 120-277V input, so the same lamp works on 120V residential and light commercial circuits and on 277V building panels. Current draw is 0.07A at 208V and 0.06A at 240V, which is useful when you are tallying load on a circuit you are relamping wholesale.
4) What is the difference between the 13.5W and 14W RAB PLL lamps?
Wattage is the only axis separating them, and each wattage is offered in all four color temperatures. The 13.5W runs PLL-13.5-830-DIR through PLL-13.5-850-DIR, the 14W runs PLL-14-830-DIR through PLL-14-850-DIR. Both are ballast-compatible LED PL-L lamps rated 50,000 hours on 120-277V. Specify the wattage your fixture schedule or existing lamp calls out.
5) How often will I be relamping these compared to the compact fluorescents they replace?
The PLL LED lamp is rated 50,000 hours. At roughly 12 hours a day that is over eleven years of service, which is the argument for a property manager carrying one lamp type across a portfolio instead of restocking CFL PL-L tubes. A constant current driver holds output steady across that life rather than letting it drift the way a fluorescent does as it ages.
6) What happens to a ballast-compatible LED PL-L lamp when the existing ballast eventually fails?
A ballast-compatible lamp depends on the ballast to operate, so when that ballast dies the lamp goes out and the ballast has to be replaced to bring the fixture back. That is the tradeoff against the fast install: you keep the existing ballast and wiring on day one, but the ballast stays part of the maintenance picture. On fixtures with ballasts already near end of life, a lot of facilities crews plan to bypass or replace at that point instead.
7) Is 80 CRI good enough for office and retail spaces?
Every RAB PLL PL-L lamp here is 80 CRI, which is the standard commercial benchmark and what most office, education, healthcare corridor and general retail specs call for. If you are lighting merchandise, art or anywhere color judgement is part of the work, you want a 90 CRI product instead, and these are not it.
