36 Watt 8 Foot T8 LED Tube | 4320 Lumens | 5000K | 100-277V | Frosted Lens | 25 Pack

Product Overview

This 36 watt 8 foot T8 LED tube delivers 4320 lumens at 5000K color temperature, operating across 100-277V input. The frosted lens provides a 120-degree beam angle with diffused light distribution. Each tube measures 8 feet in length and weighs 3 pounds.

The tube replaces 8 foot fluorescent lamps and operates at 120 lumens per watt with a CRI of 80+. Rated lifespan is 50,000 hours. This product ships in a 25-pack configuration.

Where This Product Fits Best

This tube is sized for 8 foot strip fixtures and troffer housings that accept single-pin FA8 or recessed double contact R17d bases, depending on the ballast bypass wiring method used. The 100-277V range covers standard commercial and industrial electrical systems without requiring voltage-specific versions.

The 5000K daylight color temperature suits task-oriented environments where color distinction and visual clarity matter. Facilities running older 8 foot fluorescent systems are the primary conversion target for this tube.

Performance and Functional Considerations

At 36 watts, this tube produces 4320 lumens with an efficacy of 120 lumens per watt. The frosted lens softens output and reduces visible LED point sources, which is standard for general area lighting where glare control matters.

Power factor exceeds 0.90 and total harmonic distortion stays below 18%, which keeps the electrical load characteristics compatible with most commercial electrical systems. This tube does not dim.

Installation and Long-Term Use

Installation requires ballast bypass wiring to connect line voltage directly to the tube sockets. The specific wiring approach depends on whether the fixture uses single-end or double-end power and which socket type is present. Existing fixture housings are retained while the ballast is removed from the circuit.

The 50,000-hour rated lifespan reduces lamp change frequency compared to fluorescent equivalents. At 3 pounds per tube, handling during relamping is straightforward. The 5-year warranty covers defects over the expected service period.

How This Fixture Is Commonly Used

Facility operators use this tube to convert existing 8 foot fluorescent strip fixtures to LED without replacing the housing. Once installed, the tube operates on line voltage with no ballast dependency, eliminating ballast failure as a maintenance variable.

The 120-degree beam angle and frosted lens produce broad, even coverage suitable for aisle lighting, open warehouse bays, and back-of-house areas. The fixed 5000K output and non-dimming operation mean the tube runs at full output whenever energized, with no adjustability after installation.

Safety, Certifications, and Warranty

This tube is ETL listed and rebate eligible. The 5-year warranty is provided by LED Lighting Supply.
