Rab U6-18-840-SE-BYP Led Linear Lamp Ballast Bypass

Product Description

The RAB U6-18-840-SE-BYP is a linear LED lamp designed for direct-wire ballast bypass installations. It replaces fluorescent lamps in existing fixtures by eliminating the ballast from the circuit entirely, which reduces maintenance costs and improves long-term reliability. Based on the part number structure, this lamp operates at 4000K color temperature and is intended for commercial and industrial lighting applications. Installation is performed by licensed electricians or qualified lighting technicians familiar with direct-wire LED retrofit procedures.

This lamp is suited for retrofit projects in commercial, institutional, and industrial environments where fluorescent fixtures are being converted to LED. Single-ended wiring configuration is indicated by the SE designation in the part number, meaning line voltage is connected at one end of the lamp only. The BYP designation confirms ballast bypass operation, making it compatible with rewired single-ended direct-wire tombstone sockets.

Key Features

• Ballast bypass design eliminates ballast dependency and reduces future failure points
• Single-ended wiring configuration for straightforward direct-wire retrofit
• 4000K neutral white color temperature suitable for commercial and task lighting
• Linear form factor for use in standard fluorescent fixture housings
• Lightweight construction at 0.9 pounds per lamp

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-wire ballast bypass replacement for linear fluorescent lamps in rewired single-ended compatible fixtures. Specific compatible fixture models were not provided in available product data.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with NEC requirements for direct-wire LED lamp retrofits. The existing ballast must be fully removed or bypassed and the fixture rewired for single-ended line voltage before installing this lamp. Always de-energize the circuit at the breaker and verify absence of voltage before handling internal fixture wiring. Tombstone sockets must be confirmed as non-shunted single-ended type prior to installation.
