Rip Out the Ballast. Snap In the Magnet. Done.

The A-RF4FT-15W converts existing fluorescent troffers to LED with magnetic mounting strips — no screws, no brackets, no tools. Isolated 48V DC driver for flicker-free output. 0/1-10V dimmable. When you have 500 troffers to retrofit and two days to do it.

Magnetic Mount — Tool-Free Install

Built-in magnets attach directly to metal troffer housings. Remove fluorescent tubes and ballast, snap in LED bar and driver. Minutes per fixture.

Isolated DC48V Driver

48V DC isolated driver eliminates ground loop issues and provides clean, flicker-free power. No EMI interference in sensitive environments.

0/1-10V Dimmable

Compatible with existing building dimming controls. Maintains dimming functionality through the LED retrofit process.
