Sylvania Ledlescent T8 Ballast-free Lamps Owner's Manual

SYLVANIA LEDlescent T8 Ballast-Free Lamps 

Introduction

LEDlescent T8 Ballast-Free lamps are an energy saving alternative, designed to replace traditional fluorescent T8/T12 lamps by bypassing the existing ballast. These LED T8 lamps contain no mercury, provide instant light and a uniform light distribution.

Engineered to operate directly on 120-277V, these lamps minimize labor and recycling costs. These lamps can be used with occupancy and vacancy sensors for enhanced energy savings.

When installing the LEDlescent T8 lamps, the UL rating of the existing fixture is not voided (even when it is electrically modified) since our LEDlescent T8 lamp is UL Classified (as a luminaire conversion retrofit kit) under UL standard 1598C. UL 1598C is the standard covering LED retrofits intended for an existing UL rated fixture. Since the user is retrofitting with a UL1598C classified LED kit, the installer must follow the installation instructions included with the lamps for the modified fixture to retain its UL rating.

Key Features & Benefits

• Optimized glass optics available in 2ft, 3ft, 4ft, and 8ft lengths
• CCT: 3000K, 3500K, 4100K, 5000K
• Light emitting area: 340° (17W Nano Plastic, 320°)
• Installed directly on 120-277V
• Patented built-in safety circuit prevents current from flowing through the lamp when only one end is engaged in the socket thereby eliminating potential shock hazard
• No risk of electrical arcing between the lamp pins and the lamp holders
• For use with shunted and nonhunted sockets therefore no socket change is needed
• Double ended lamp is wired end-toned preventing non-passive failure of a fluorescent lamp should it be inadvertently installed in the fixture
• 17W Shatterproof Frosted Nano Plastic lamps do not break in the manner of glass LED or fluorescent lamps
• THD <20%, power factor >0.90

Application Information

Application Notes

1. All installation, inspection, and maintenance of lighting fixtures should be done with the power to the fixture turned off. Lamps should be installed and operated in compliance with the National Electrical Code (NEC), Underwriters Laboratories Inc. (UL) requirements, and all applicable codes and regulations.
2. Please do not install LED lamps and fluorescent lamps in the same fixture.
3. Ensure lamp holders/sockets are in good operating condition before installation.
4. Best practice: cap off the remaining ballast wires should the ballast be left in the fixture after disconnecting.
5. To prevent wiring damage or abrasion, do not expose wiring to edges of sheet metal or other sharp objects. Do not make or alter any open holes in an enclosure of wiring or electrical components during kit installation
6. When using LEDlescent lamps, to conform to UL, you MUST affix the luminaire warning sticker, included inside the packaging, to the fixture during installation.
7. LEDlescent is compatible with Philips Bodine ELI-S-20 Emergency Lighting Inverters and IOTA inverter models IIS-25-I, IIs-35-I, IIS-50-1, IIS125, IIS-375, IIS-550.
8. EM ballast that operates with fluorescent ballasts must be disconnected from the lamps.
9. Make sure the lamps have the proper connections before restoring power.
10. Operating temperature range between -4°F and 113°F (-20°C and 45°C).
11. Suitable for use in dry and damp environments.
12. Please read and comply with all instructions before attempting installation.
13. For detailed warranty information, please see www.ledvanceUS.com.
