Specifications & Features
These T8 LED tubes are a practical choice for indoor office lighting where you need reliable general and task illumination over desks, work areas, or display points. They use opposite-end wiring (Live on one end and Neutral on the other) for straightforward installation on mains power, and must be fitted on a ballast-bypass circuit (they can’t run on electronic or magnetic ballasts).
Ideal for long rows in open work zones and classrooms, these tubes deliver steady, even light so people can read, write and focus without harsh spots or flicker. They also work well over shelving and benches, where consistent coverage makes displays and tasks easier to see. Choose them when you want simple, comfortable illumination across larger areas — a straightforward way to refresh old fittings with better, more usable light.

Use Case Ideas: How, Where & Why!
Open-plan office desks: Provide even task lighting above open-plan desks by bypassing ballasts in existing T8 fittings and wiring opposite ends to mains for safe, efficient office illumination.
School classroom retrofit: Upgrade classroom rows of T8 battens by removing ballasts and wiring line and neutral to opposite ends, delivering 4000K lighting for reading and writing tasks.
Retail shelf displays: Illuminate retail shelving and gondolas with 6000K tubes for crisp product visibility, wiring opposite ends on bypassed circuits in existing fluorescent housings.
Office corridors and walkways: Replace corridor fittings to improve uniformity and energy savings; bypass ballasts and connect live and neutral to opposite ends for dependable, low-maintenance illumination.
Workshop benches task lighting: Mount tubes above benches to reduce shadows on tools and drawings, using opposite-end wiring on mains after removing ballasts for safer, bright task lighting.
Installation Guidance, Tips & Tricks
Confirm Indoor Office Placement: Install in indoor office areas for general or task lighting over desks, work areas, or displays.
Bypass Existing Ballast Circuit: Ensure the fitting is wired as a ballast-bypass circuit; do not use electronic or magnetic ballasts.
Use Opposite-End Wiring: Connect Live to one end and Neutral to the other for mains operation.
Check Voltage And Socket Compatibility: Verify the supply is 100-277Vac and install in a G13-capable fixture.
Orient Lens Toward Work Area: Aim the polycarbonate lens toward the area you want illuminated, with the aluminium backing away.
