Rab T8HO-40-96G-FA8-840-DE-BYP 40W T8 Led Tube 4000K 8ft

Product Description

The RAB T8HO-40-96G-FA8-840-DE-BYP is a high-output 8-foot T8 LED linear tube designed as a direct fluorescent replacement in bypass (Type B) installations. Running at 40 watts, it delivers 5500 lumens at a 4000K neutral white color temperature with a minimum 80 CRI, making it well suited for high-bay, warehouse, and commercial ambient lighting applications. The lamp uses an FA8 single-pin base and requires double-ended wiring, meaning both ends of the fixture must be wired to supply voltage. Power is field adjustable, giving installers flexibility during commissioning without swapping hardware.

This tube is intended for use in 8-foot strip fixtures, industrial shop lights, and commercial fluorescent housings that have been relamped or rewired for direct-wire LED operation. The Type B bypass configuration requires removal or disabling of the existing ballast before installation. Field-adjustable power output makes this lamp a practical choice for projects where light levels may need to be tuned to space requirements after rough-in.

Key Features

• 40W input power with field-adjustable output for flexible commissioning
• 5500 lumens high-output light delivery suitable for industrial and commercial spaces
• 4000K neutral white color temperature with 80+ CRI
• FA8 single-pin base, 8-foot glass tube for standard 8-foot fluorescent housings
• Double-ended wiring method — both tombstones supply line voltage
• Type B bypass design eliminates ballast dependency for long-term reliability

Compatibility

Designed as a Type B direct-wire LED replacement for 8-foot FA8-base fluorescent fixtures that have been rewired for ballast-bypass operation. Ballast must be bypassed or removed prior to use.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with NEC requirements and all applicable local codes. De-energize the circuit at the breaker and verify the absence of voltage before handling the fixture or wiring tombstones. This is a double-ended, direct-wire lamp — both the input and output tombstones must be connected to line voltage; single-ended wiring will not function and presents a shock hazard. Existing ballasts must be removed or fully bypassed before the lamp is installed.
