What is this product

The EiKO L12WT8/36/BSDG/FCCT is a 3-foot T8 LED replacement tube made for Type B installations. Type B means ballast bypass, so the fluorescent ballast is removed or bypassed and the lamp runs on direct line voltage. It also includes selectable color temperature options so you can match the light color to the space without stocking multiple SKUs.

TL;DR: Who is this for

- Electricians and maintenance teams doing ballast bypass conversions in T8 fixtures

- Facility managers standardizing one lamp that can match multiple light colors across a building

- Contractors upgrading corridors, offices, classrooms, utility rooms, and back-of-house lighting where damp rating is needed

Institutional Fit

- One SKU covers multiple CCT targets (warm to daylight) which simplifies purchasing and reduces wrong-lamp installs

- Type B retrofit removes a common failure point (the ballast) and can reduce repeat service calls

- Damp location rating supports more placement options than dry-only lamps

- UL listed and DLC Standard support typical procurement and rebate documentation workflows

Before you buy

1. Retrofit type: this is Type B. Confirm your project is ballast bypass and your team is wiring fixtures accordingly.

2. Socket and size: confirm the fixture is T8 with G13 lampholders and uses a 3 ft lamp length.

3. Light color planning: this lamp is selectable CCT. Decide the target CCT per area (for example 3000K for warmer spaces, 4000K for general task lighting, 5000K to 6500K for daylight feel) and set it consistently during installation.

4. Controls: it is non-dimmable. Do not install on dimmers unless your fixture and control plan explicitly supports a non-dimming lamp.

Technical Specifications

Regulatory Compliance

- UL listed: confirm the marking on the lamp and follow applicable electrical code and fixture conversion requirements for Type B retrofits

- Damp location rated: suitable where damp rating is required, but it is not listed as wet rated here

- RoHS compliant: supports environmental compliance requirements where applicable

Durability and Lifecycle

- 50,000 hour rated life helps reduce relamping frequency compared to fluorescent

- Type B conversion removes the ballast from the system, which can reduce ballast-related failures and call-backs

- Glass housing supports a familiar lamp form factor for fixture retrofits

Procurement notes

- Retrofit method first: confirm you want Type B ballast bypass, not plug-and-play, before purchasing

- Voltage flexibility: 120-277VAC supports many common commercial building voltages once rewired

- Light color standardization: decide your building standard CCT by area and apply it consistently during install

- Non-dimmable: if your site uses dimming, you need a dimmable lamp and compatible control plan instead

- Rebate and spec files: DLC Standard status can matter for rebates, confirm program rules before ordering

FAQ

What does Type B mean?
Type B means ballast bypass. The fixture is rewired so the LED tube runs on line voltage, and the ballast is removed or bypassed.

What fluorescent does it replace?
It is listed as an equivalent replacement for a 25W fluorescent lamp.

What base does it use?
G13, which is the standard T8 bi-pin base.

Is it dimmable?
No. It is non-dimmable.

What color temperatures can I choose?
Selectable CCT options are 3000K, 3500K, 4000K, 5000K, and 6500K.

Can I use it in damp areas?
Yes, it is rated for damp locations.

How do I confirm it will fit my fixture?
Confirm you have a 3 ft T8 fixture with G13 lampholders, and confirm your retrofit plan is Type B ballast bypass.
