During the past few months there has been a growing trend that the “older” or first generation double-end LED T8 lamps are starting to fail. Building maintenance managers seeking LED T8 replacement or warranty support found the original manufacturers or dealers were no longer in business. Not being able to find original manufacturer for replacement lamps, what are the options for facilities managers? A UL1598C classified double-end T8 lamp that is compatible with the existing wiring of the original LED T8 now is available.
Aleddra EasiRetrofit LED tube with a patented dual-safety switch design is the only double-ended LED T8 that is UL 1598C classified. It can directly replace the old non-UL double-ended LED T8 without any rewiring. The process is as simple as popping the old lamp out and inserting the new lamp in. The best part is that the facilities managers need only replace those lamps that are failing, saving them from a complete upgrade. Some managers did opt for a complete change-out because of the additional energy savings afforded by EasiRetrofit tube at 100LPW (or 17.5W for a 4-foot tube) and five-year warranty.
