RAB T8-10.5-48G-835-DIR – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Can I install the RAB T8 LED tube in my existing fluorescent fixture without rewiring it?
Yes. The RAB T8 10.5W 4-foot LED tube is a ballast compatible (plug and play) lamp, so it runs off the existing fluorescent ballast in the fixture. You pull the old T8 fluorescent lamp and drop this one into the same bi-pin sockets. No socket rewiring, no ballast bypass. The trade-off is that input voltage and flicker performance are ballast dependent, so the lamp's behavior follows whatever ballast is already in the fixture. If the ballast is old, failing, or a type the lamp won't start on, you would need a direct-wire (ballast bypass) tube instead.
2) What color temperatures does the RAB T8 10.5W LED tube come in, and how do I order the right one?
Four choices: 3000K, 3500K, 4000K and 5000K. The color code sits in the part number, so order T8-10.5-48G-830-DIR for 3000K, -835- for 3500K, -840- for 4000K, or -850- for 5000K. Each tube is a single fixed color, not switchable, so pick one and stay with it across a room or the light will read uneven. 3500K is the common office warm-neutral, 4000K the typical neutral for corridors and retail, and 5000K the cool white most often used in warehouses and shops.
3) Is this a glass tube or plastic, and does it matter for a school or hospital?
Glass, with a frosted white diffuser. The frost spreads the LED light so you don't see individual diodes through the lens, which is why it reads like a fluorescent in open or lensed troffers. In healthcare rooms, classrooms, gyms, or anywhere a dropped or struck lamp is a real concern, specify a coated shatter-resistant or plastic-bodied tube instead, since a plain glass tube offers no containment if it breaks.
4) How long does the RAB T8 10.5W LED tube last compared to the fluorescents I'm relamping now?
Rated 50,000 hours. On a 12-hour-a-day, 5-day schedule that is roughly 16 years of operation, against the 20,000 to 30,000 hours typical of a 4-foot T8 fluorescent. For a property manager doing group relamps, that is the number that changes the maintenance cycle. One caveat with the plug-and-play design: the ballast behind it will usually fail first, so plan on a ballast replacement or a bypass conversion at some point in that window.
5) I have mixed 3500K and 4000K lamps across a building. Can I standardize with these?
Yes, and that is the practical reason to buy a whole order on one code. The RAB T8 10.5W 4-foot tube is built in 3000K, 3500K, 4000K and 5000K, so you can pick one temperature and relamp every fixture in the portfolio to match. Keep the color code consistent (for example -835- for 3500K throughout) rather than mixing codes within a sightline, since adjacent tubes at different temperatures are obvious on a ceiling.
