Product Information

Full details

The ENER-J 120cm T8 LED Retrofit Tubes are designed for homeowners and commercial property managers looking to replace inefficient fluorescent lighting with a cost-effective, long-lasting LED solution. These tubes provide a crisp 4000K cool white light with high energy efficiency, making them an ideal choice for offices, garages, or retail spaces. While they offer significant power savings and a 20,000-hour lifespan, users should note that they are not compatible with existing electromagnetic ballasts and require a simple bypass during installation.

FAQs

Can I use these tubes with my old ballast?

No, these tubes are not compatible with electromagnetic ballasts. You must bypass or remove the ballast to operate them safely.

Are these tubes dimmable?

No, these tubes are non-dimmable and should not be used with dimmer switches.

What does the 4000K color temperature look like?

4000K is a 'cool white' light, often described as clean, bright, and professional, making it perfect for offices and kitchens.

How long is the warranty?

The ENER-J T8 LED tubes come with a two-year manufacturer warranty.

What is the benefit of the Nano Plastic material?

Nano plastic is more durable and shatterproof than glass, providing better safety and improved light diffusion across the 270-degree angle.

Troubleshooting

Tube flickers or fails to light up

Verify that the electromagnetic ballast has been bypassed and that the live/neutral wiring is connected to the correct end of the tube.

Tube is buzzing

Ensure the ballast is fully disconnected, as buzzing is usually a sign of an active ballast causing interference with the internal LED driver.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation of the ENER-J Retrofit tubes is straightforward but requires attention to existing circuitry.

  1. Compatibility: These tubes are designed for T8 fixtures. Crucially, they are not compatible with existing electromagnetic ballasts. You must remove or bypass the ballast so that the live and neutral wires feed directly to the same end of the tube.
  2. Installation: Ensure the power is completely isolated at the consumer unit before beginning work. Use the included starters to complete the circuit in compatible fixtures.
  3. Maintenance: LED tubes are largely maintenance-free. Clean them occasionally with a dry, lint-free cloth to remove dust buildup, ensuring optimal light output. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners.
