This tube installs directly into your fixture’s original shunted sockets (tombstones). You will not need to retrofit your fixture with non-shunted sockets. Single-ended installation will require installation with non-shunted sockets/ tombstones. Fast, simple and secure installation.
Bypassing the ballast will save you both time and money, as ballasts inevitably fail over time and will require replacement. When using the ballast bypass method, we recommend these lights are installed by a qualified electrician.

## Features

- BALLAST BYPASS. These tubes must be installed using the ballast bypass method. Use the instructions provided to remove the ballast from your fixtures and directly wire your new T8 tubes.
- ENERGY SAVING, BRIGHT LIGHTING: Fluorescent replacement (T8, T10, T12) will save you both time and money as ballasts inevitably fail over time and will require replacement. Ballasts also consume electrical power and by bypassing them you will save even more on your energy bill. These lights use only 18W to emit 2200 lumens (equivalent to 40W in fluorescent tubes), making them extra bright and energy efficient.
- KEEP ORIGINAL TOMBSTONES. This tube installs directly into your fixture’s original shunted sockets (tombstones). You will not need to retrofit your fixture with non-shunted sockets. Single-ended installation will require installation with non-shunted sockets/tombstones. Fast, simple and secure installation under the functionality of your choice, this tube is designed with user experience as the defining motivator.
- CERTIFICATIONS: This product meets strict requirements to ensure that they are safe and reliable. UL-LISTED to avoid electrical shock and fire hazard. RoHS COMPLIANT (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) and FCC Certified making our T8's extremely safe.
- 5-Year Unlimited Warranty: This product is protected by the Parmida 5-Year Warranty, thoughtfully crafted to provide you with peace of mind.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ No regrets! Twice as bright as T12 fluorescents
*by  on Reviewed in the United States March 8, 2023*

Originally, I was planning on buying 40 (2 packs of 20) of these bulbs but I don’t think I’ll need to - these bulbs are bright!For reference:I have 12 2’x4’ drop ceiling light fixtures, capacity of 4 bulbs each, in a 20’x30’ garage with 12’ ceilings (finished drop ceiling height).The fixtures were manufactured in 1982 and 10 of the 12 had magnetic ballasts with T12 bulbs - typically, at least 1 bulb would burn out each month and then the ballasts started failing more recently, one after the other.Upgrade time!I removed the ballasts and re-wired 10 of my fixtures, then installed 2 of these LED bulbs in each. In the other two fixtures, there are 7 working (and 1 dead) T8 fluorescent bulbs with electronic ballasts.Until the T8 bulbs/ballasts all wear out, those combined with these 20 LED bulbs provide more than enough light for woodworking and other projects.The best part, aside from the cost savings, is that I no longer have to listen to the incessant buzzing and flickering from those old magnetic ballasts. Also, ‘cold starts’ during the winter months are a thing of the past; no noise, no dim start up, energy efficient, and they even look cool.The only thing I wasn’t absolutely thrilled with (but also not surprised by) is the color temperature equivalency with fluorescent bulbs. I bought these LED bulbs in 4000K to try and match the 7 existing 4100K T8 fluorescents; no surprise, they aren’t a perfect match. The LEDs are definitely a cooler white than the fluorescents but not by too much. There are no hints of blue light and overall, I do like these LEDs’ 4000K color for a workspace but would definitely go for 3000K in any indoor living space application. Again, this is by no means a negative, just some valuable information for those of you who care as much as I do about light color temperature.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ These parmida LED light tubes are awesome!
*by  on Reviewed in the United States July 30, 2020*

These parmida four foot LED light tubes are awesome! I loved my first case of frosted bulbs so much that this is my second case. I went with clear tubes this time so that I could mix them up according to the application. I didn't realize how many fluorescent tubes I had until I started to replace them. Keep in mind these bulbs are in clear tubes! Not frosted! I have purchased both types and it is my experience that the 4000K frosted bulbs should be installed into open fixtures such as shop lights. These clear tube lights should only be installed into fixtures with diffusers. They are very bright! If you install these clear tube bulbs into open shop lights they are so bright your retinas will melt into your head and run out of your nose. I had previously purchased a case of frosted tube bulbs and I installed them everywhere so when I got these clear tube bulbs I went around and replaced the frosted bulbs in the diffused fixtures with these clear ones .Totally amazing but be careful where you put them. like I said I have ordered two cases of these bulbs, frosted and clear. I love them all! If installed into the proper fixtures they are very bright and the color is perfect. 4000 Kelvin is a very middle-of-the-road color that illuminates everything very nicely. You will need to perform a little bit of electrical work removing the ballast and rewiring the tombstones. If you are afraid of this stuff then find a buddy that can do it for you. The wiring diagram is right on the bulb! I love that! No guesswork or having to search the forums for how to wire them up.For example put a pair of these clear tube bulbs into a 2 lamp diffused fluorescent fixture in my walk in closet and it is amazing how they illuminate the colors of the clothes. It makes it super easy to pick out my dapper outfit for the day!My bulbs arrived intact and all of them worked. Thank you Parmida for an amazing product at a great price!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Most are still working after 5 years
*by  on Reviewed in the United States February 7, 2024*

I swapped out all of the fluorescent tubes for these in my house, garage and shop. I have had 2 of these completely fail over that time. The rest are still working. Some of the individual LEDs have burned out but the rest of the tube is still working. I do like that they are much brighter than the old fluorescent bulbs and have started immediately even in the cold.
