About This Product

Feit Electric's 6-watt Ballast Bypass (Type B) Adjustable White Non-Dimmable Linear LED Tubes replace F8T5 or T5 fluorescent and LED tubes. Ballast Bypass tubes require direct wiring by bypassing the existing ballast. This added installation step enables efficient operation and less maintenance over time. Each Linear LED light produces 600 lumens, while using less energy than fluorescents. Choose from Bright White 3000K, Cool White 4000K, Daylight 5000K, or Daylight Deluxe 6500K before installing to have the right light for any job. An ideal choice for most fluorescent linear tube replacement applications, use them in offices, garages, workspaces, warehouses, and more. LED lights turn on instantly, offering flicker-free full illumination with no warmup time compared to fluorescent tubes. They are mercury-free, with a shatter-resistant coating for safe and easy disposal. Their lower heat emission extends the life of the tube and prevents ends from turning black or burning with age. Switch to LED linear lights for your space and get up to 50,000 hours of superior light.

        Good Solution Of Changing Tube Color and Brightness
        I wanted to replace my old fluorescent tubes with LED, preferably with a whiter color and brighter. These tubes were the right answer with their switchable color selector. The downside is removing the ballast from the fixture, but it wasn’t too difficult. A second issue is that each of my fixtures contain one short and one long tube. The colors don’t quite match.

        NOT plug and play
        In product description it says plug and play but on the box it says ballast bypass. I tried the light and it did not work. I would not have ordered it if I had known I had to rewire the light because it is not worth the effort. I took the light apart and was going to try to rewire it but it was too much trouble so I just put it back together. It would have been nice if it had been plug and play because I have to replace the fluorescent bulb every 3 months.

        I was pleasantly surprised by the difference, and I have a happier wife!!
        I used this in my dining room undercounter lights. My lights were old ballast and starter fixtures that flicker when started and needed starters replaced occasionally. These required following instructions included with the lamp. Once I realized I was just clipping out the ballast and starter and tying the hot wire to one end socket and the neutral the other end socket, it was simple. I put the fixture back together and turned on the light. I adjusted the color temperature to match existing and it was amazing when I turned the lights on. The new lamp was on instantly and the others flickered and eventually came on as usual. The new lamp was much brighter, and my wife was actually thrilled. Yes, thrilled. The old plastic lens looked discolored next to the new lamp. Woo-hoo, no new lenses. Looks like a brand-new fixture!!! I actually love this lamp. I need to get enough lamps to change them all out.

        Four were supplied by the customer. I expressed ordered two more. After bypassing the ballast and putting in a new bulbs, one didn’t work. So I ordered another one…. Which didn’t work also. So I told the customer I would go directly to the Home Depot return to two bad ones and buy a new one. I left it at the front door. Customer I had to work a bit more, but I got the job done

          Blink or switch color
          If you look at the rating for these bulbs, they should be used below a maximum high temperature of 113 degrees Fahrenheit. They are commonly used in under the cabinet fixtures, with a plastic cover. This situation causes them to overheat and blink or switch color. It helps to take the plastic cover off, but may not be too safe. There doesn't seem to be a solution to under the cabinet fixtures if you want to use LEDs.
