Still Running Fluorescent Tubes? Every Month You Wait Costs More Than the Retrofit.

The AN-T8 series replaces T8 fluorescent tubes with 60% less energy and zero ballast compatibility concerns. 3-in-1 Type A+B works with existing ballast, single-ended, or direct wire — whatever's in the fixture. NSF certified for food service. UL listed. 5-year warranty.

3-in-1 Universal Compatibility

Works with double-ended ballast, single-ended ballast, or direct wire to line voltage. Don't know the wiring? Doesn't matter — this tube handles all three.

NSF Certified Shatterproof

Approved for food prep and service areas. Shatterproof construction prevents glass contamination. Required for restaurants, grocery, and food processing.

60% Energy Reduction

8W, 12W, or 18W replaces 25-32W fluorescent. DLC eligible for utility rebates. 50,000-hour lifespan = years between replacements.

Fluorescent Tube Replacement Applications

Direct-fit LED tube replacements for T8/T5 fixtures — no rewiring required in Type A (ballast compatible) configurations.

🏢

Office Fluorescent Retrofit

Drop-in 8W–42W LED tubes replace 32W–40W fluorescent T8 lamps without rewiring in Type A mode. Instant savings on energy and maintenance — no more ballast flicker, humming, or frequent relamping.

Standard: IES RP-1 / ASHRAE 90.1 Interior Lighting

Technical Requirements

  • Compatible ballast for Type A operation
  • UL Type A or B listed
  • No mercury — ROHS compliant

Recommended Specifications
