Rated at 9 watts and delivering 1100 lumens, it produces a 3500K neutral white color temperature suited to commercial and light industrial environments. The glass construction houses the LED array, and the double-ended wiring method routes line voltage through both tombstone contacts for a reliable, ballast-free circuit. Installation requires a licensed electrician performing a single-lamp ballast-bypass rewire per NEC guidelines. This tube is a practical choice when retrofitting troffers, shop lights, and strip fixtures for long-term energy reduction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis T8 tube fits standard 2-foot fluorescent fixture housings commonly found in retail spaces, offices, warehouses, and light commercial buildings. The ballast-bypass configuration eliminates the existing magnetic or electronic ballast from the circuit entirely, which removes a common failure point and reduces ongoing maintenance. With an 80 CRI rating, color rendering is adequate for task-lighting and general ambient applications. Electrical contractors and licensed electricians typically handle this retrofit when servicing commercial lighting panels or completing tenant improvement work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e9-watt power draw replacing higher-wattage fluorescent T8 lamps\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1100 lumens output at 3500K neutral white color temperature\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e80 CRI for acceptable color rendering in commercial task and ambient lighting\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDouble-ended wiring method distributes line voltage across both lamp ends\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBallast-bypass design eliminates the existing ballast for a simplified, low-maintenance circuit\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGlass tube body in a standard 2-foot T8 form factor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a ballast-bypass retrofit for standard 2-foot T8 fluorescent fixture housings. Requires rewiring tombstones for double-ended line-voltage operation; not compatible with fixtures retaining an active ballast.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBallast-bypass wiring must be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with NEC Article 410 and local electrical codes. Disconnect and de-energize the fixture completely before removing the existing ballast and rewiring tombstone sockets for double-ended line-voltage input. Verify that the tombstone sockets are non-shunted type, as double-ended bypass wiring requires isolated contacts at each end. Do not install this tube in a fixture where the original ballast remains in the circuit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWattage\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9 watts\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLumens\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1100\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor Temperature\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3500K\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCRI\u003c\/strong\u003e: 80\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTube Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: T8\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 24 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLamp Body Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Glass\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWiring Method\u003c\/strong\u003e: Double ended ballast bypass\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: RAB\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: T8-9-24G-835-DE-BYP\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"RAB","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51383834345778,"sku":"T8-9-24G-835-DE-BYP","price":28.3,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/312673293.png?v=1782608906","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/rab-t8-9-24g-835-de-byp-t8-led-tube-9w-3500k-ballast-bypass","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
