These tubes are wired directly to mains voltage, eliminating the ballast from the circuit entirely. This approach removes ballast-related failure points and reduces ongoing maintenance costs. The long rated lifespan cuts down on relamping frequency, which is especially useful in fixtures mounted in hard-to-reach locations. Installation is handled by a licensed electrician following applicable NEC requirements for direct-wire LED conversions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese tubes suit a wide range of commercial and institutional settings including retail spaces, offices, schools, hospitals, and residential applications. Any standard T8 or T12 fluorescent fixture can be converted once the ballast is bypassed and the tombstones are rewired for direct line voltage. The 2-pack format is practical for multi-fixture jobs where purchasing in quantity reduces per-tube cost and jobsite trips.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBallast bypass design eliminates ballast as a failure point and removes ballast maintenance entirely\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eReplaces both T8 and T12 fluorescent tubes in rewired direct-wire fixtures\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e60-watt lamp power suitable for commercial and residential overhead lighting\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLong rated lifespan reduces relamping frequency in difficult-to-access fixtures\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMeets EyeComfort criteria for visual comfort factors in occupied spaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSold as a 2-pack per unit of measure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a direct-wire ballast bypass replacement for T8 and T12 fluorescent tube fixtures after rewiring tombstones to accept mains voltage.

Before beginning, de-energize the fixture at the breaker and verify zero voltage with a meter. The existing ballast must be removed and the lamp holders rewired to pass line voltage directly to the tube pins. Do not attempt to operate these tubes on an active ballast, as this will damage the lamp and creates a safety hazard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLamp Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: T8 LED Ballast Bypass\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWattage\u003c\/strong\u003e: 60 watts\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReplaces\u003c\/strong\u003e: T8 and T12 fluorescent tubes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePack Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2 per pack\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Weight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.07 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUnit of Measure\u003c\/strong\u003e: Each (quantity of 5 minimum order)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: PHILIPS\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 590679\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"PHILIPS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51699852640562,"sku":"590679","price":340.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/552c34eeab92cf871a1559bfbe8f5688.jpg?v=1788381985","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/philips-590679-t8-led-tube-ballast-bypass-60w-2-pack","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
