Product Information

The LED Double-Ended Type B T8 Tubes are designed to be used with G13 (medium bi-pin) lamp holders that are either internally or externally shunted. These tubes are available in different models:

  • LED15BDT8/G4/RXX/120-347
  • LED11BDT8/G4/RXX/120-347
  • LED12BDT8/G3/RXX/120-347
  • LED7BDT8/G2/RXX/120-347

The “R” represents the Color Rendering Index (CRI) and “XX” represents the Correlated Color Temperature (CCT). Before installing the Type B LED T8 tubes, it is important to read the entire installation guide carefully. For added protection, it is recommended to install an in-line fuse: Type 2AG, rated at 1 amp, 500 volts, Littelfuse part number 0477001.MXP or  equivalent. Please note that this lamp is designed for general lighting service and may not be suitable for all applications where a conventional fluorescent lamp has been used.

Product Usage Instructions

  1. Ensure the power is off to the luminaire by disconnecting the supply voltage.
  2. Remove all fluorescent lamps and the ballast/wiring area cover. Cut the ballast lead wires about 6 inches away from each lamp holder.
  3. Install the retrofit kit Caution label in an easy-to-see location to ensure the user understands that the system now uses LED Type B double-ended tubes. Using fluorescent lamps may result in damage or injury.
  4. Install the Type B double-ended tubes.
  5. Re-apply power to the fixture and ensure proper operation.

CAUTION: RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK. Do not use the lamp if the outer lamp envelope is damaged or broken.

WARNING
RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK: LED Retrofit Kit installation requires knowledge of luminaire electrical systems. If not qualified, do not attempt installation. Contact a qualified electrician. Install this kit only in luminaries that have the construction features and dimensions shown in the drawings and where the input rating of the retrofit kit does not exceed the input rating of the luminaire. To prevent wiring damage or abrasion, do not expose wiring to edges of sheet metal or other sharp objects. Installers should not disconnect existing wires from lampholder terminals to make new connections at lampholder terminals.  Instead installers should cut existing lampholder leads away from the lampholder and make new electrical connections to the lampholder lead wires by employing applicable connectors (or replace with new shunted lamp holders). THE RETROFIT KIT IS ACCEPTED AS A COMPONENT OF A LUMINAIRE WHERE THE SUITABILITY OF THE COMBINATION SHALL BE DETERMINED BY AUTHORITIES HAVING JURISDICTION. PRODUCT MUST BE INSTALLED BY A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN IN ACCORDANCE  WITH THE APPLICABLE AND APPROPRIATE ELECTRICAL CODES. THE INSTALLATION GUIDE DOES NOT SUPERSEDE LOCAL OR NATIONAL REGULATIONS FOR ELECTRICAL INSTALLATIONS. Do not make or alter any open holes in an enclosure of wiring or electrical components during kit installation. Installers should examine all parts that are not intended to be replaced by the retrofit kit for damage and replace any damaged parts prior to installation of the retrofit kit. This lamp operates directly from 120V-347V mains. Do not use Ballast or any starting aid. Do not connect to a voltage higher than 347 volts. To reduce risk  of misapplication, Current recommends installing a fuse in series with the Phase or Hot lead and the SHUNTED (Instant Start style) lamp holder(s) per the wiring diagrams below. Only one fuse kit is needed for up to 4 tubes in the same fixture at 347V. Ensure the lamp holders are SHUNTED for Double Ended T8 applications.

Installation Instructions

  1. Ensure power is off to luminaire by disconnecting the supply voltage.
  2. Remove all fluorescent lamps and ballast/wiring area cover. Cut the ballast lead wires about 6 inches away from each lamp holder.
  3. If two wires come from an existing lamp holder (rapid start type), these two wires should be wired or shunted together.
  4. Connect the recommended fuse and fuseholder (not supplied) to the black (hot) wire from the mains.
  5. Connect together all of the lampholder leads on one side and connect to the other side of the recommended fuse with suitable wire.
  6. Connect together all of the lamp holder leads on the other side of the fixture and connect to the white or neutral wire from the mains.
  7. Replace the ballast / wiring area cover, ensuring no wires are pinched between the cover and the fixture.
  8. Install the retrofit kit Caution label in an easy to see location to ensure the user understands the system now uses LED Type B double ended tubes, and the use of fluorescent lamps may result in damage or injury.
  9. Install Type B double ended tubes.
  10. Re-apply power to fixture and ensure proper operation.
