Rab T8-96G-DE-BYP 8 Ft Led Tube 5CCT 120-277V Ballast Bypass

Product Description

The RAB T8-96G-DE-BYP is a dual-ended ballast bypass T8 LED tube lamp designed for 8-foot linear fluorescent fixtures. It accepts FA8 single-pin and R17D recessed double-contact bases, giving installers flexibility across legacy 8-foot fixture types. Wattage is field-selectable at 24, 32, or 40 watts, and color temperature is selectable across five CCT settings, making this a versatile retrofit for commercial, industrial, and warehouse lighting applications. The glass construction provides a traditional light distribution profile suited for open strip and wraparound fixtures.

This lamp is intended for direct-wire ballast bypass installations in 8-foot linear fixtures found in warehouses, storage areas, gymnasiums, and commercial interiors. The dual-ended wiring configuration connects line voltage directly to both tombstone ends of the fixture. It operates on 120 to 277 volts AC, covering standard North American single-phase service voltages without additional drivers or adapters. Both FA8 and R17D base compatibility expands the range of fixture types this tube can serve.

Key Features

• Selectable wattage: 24, 32, or 40 watts to match application lumen requirements
• 5-CCT selectable color temperature for consistent light quality across varied fixture inventories
• Wide voltage range: 120 to 277 volts AC for use across standard commercial circuits
• Dual base compatibility: FA8 single-pin and R17D recessed double-contact
• Glass lamp construction for broad light distribution in open fixtures
• Type B dual-ended ballast bypass eliminates ballast dependency and associated failure points

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-wire Type B ballast bypass replacement for 8-foot T8 or T12 linear fluorescent fixtures equipped with FA8 single-pin or R17D recessed double-contact tombstone sockets.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a qualified electrician. Type B dual-ended bypass lamps require rewiring the fixture to deliver line voltage directly to both lamp socket ends — the existing ballast must be removed or disconnected and properly capped. De-energize the circuit at the breaker before beginning any wiring work. Follow all applicable NEC requirements for luminaire retrofit wiring, and verify that fixture tombstones are rated for the line voltage being applied.
