    FlexFit T8s

    A new kind of hybrid flexibility with FlexFit T8s

    Deciding to retrofit your linear fluorescent lights to LED? Don’t know where to start? What factors should you consider when doing a retrofit?

    • Is there enough energy savings?
    • Is there a long, or tedious installation?
    • Does it provide enough energy savings?
    • Can the manufacturer be trusted for the quality of the product?
    Put your mind at ease and make your decision easy with the new Philips FlexFit (Dual-mode) T8 LED Lamps. This is a customer centric solution, where we take care of each customer along the value chain. These lamps were designed as the perfect solution to facilitate the move from fluorescent to energy saving LEDs by being both a plug-and-play (UL Type A) or ballast bypass (UL Type B) lamp. As a Type A lamp, it is compatible with a variety of ballasts.  If a ballast fails or is not desired, the lamp can quickly be installed as a double-ended line voltage lamp. One lamp for two applications, that’s true flexibility!

    Easy install

    Philips FlexFit (UL Type A + UL Type B) lamps are designed for simple installation. All our FlexFit lamps are plug and play or double-ended Type B for the simplest and quickest installation in either configuration. Additionally, the long life delivers reduced maintenance and replacement costs. If the ballast should fail, simply cut the ballast from the system and wire the tube directly to line voltage 120-277V!

     

    Energy savings

    You can expect the 12.5W FlexFit T8 LED lamp to deliver up to 61% energy savings, when compared to a 32W linear fluorescent lamp, for continuous savings. Please visit our website for specific performance characteristics for each installation type.
