RAB's hybrid A/B tubes can be used as a plug and play (UL Type A) or as direct wire (UL Type B) and can be wired either single or double-ended. For Type A installation simply remove the fluorescent tube and replace it with our hybrid—no rewiring required. If the Instant Start ballast should fail, simply cut the ballast from the system and wire the tube directly to line voltage 120-277V!
Works with the existing ballast or bypass the ballast entirely.
Rated for use in enclosed and open fixtures in dry or damp locations.
Replace conventional fluorescent T8 linear tubes
Work with the most commonly used ballasts in commercial lighting applications.Refer to the Compatibility Guide.
Will maintain the same light quality over time and won't yellow, shrink, or wrinkle
Approximately 40% more efficient than conventional T8 lamps
Environmentally friendly vs fluorescent technologies.
Lasts 1.6 longer than conventional fluorescent tubes.
Hybrids can act as either Type A (plug and play) or Type B (ballast bypass, double-ended retrofit) tubes. They're available in 4ft and 2ft linear as well as Ubend U1 and U6 models, and in various color temperatures for maximum application flexibility.
Get everything you expect from both Type A and Type B tubes, with less SKUs to manage. Save shelf and cargo space, reduce carrying costs, increase product availability and improve flexibility in the field.
All hybrid tubes are glass construction for optimal heat dissipation and have a diffusion coating that allows for smooth, even light distribution and won't yellow, shrink, or wrinkle over time.
All hybrid tube models are designed to handle the heat of closed spaces, so they can be used with confidence in both open and enclosed fixtures.
