Philips InstantFit T8 LED electro-magnetic compatible lamps are an ideal way to easily to upgrade T12 fluorescent fixturesto energy-saving LED. The 20 watt non-dimmable glass bulbs are compatible with a wide range of rapid-start magnetic ballasts designed for T12 fluorescent lamps. They eliminate the need to have an electrician rewire the fixture. Simply take out the existing fluorescent T12 lamp from a fixture that has a electro-magnetic ballast and replace with the Philips LED T8 InstantFit lamp. They are an ideal energy saving choice for existing linear fluorescent fixtures. Suitable for use in fixtures where ambient temperature is between -4°F and 113°F. Can be used in lensed recessed troffers.

  • Compatible with many rapid-start magnetic ballasts designed for T12 fluorescent lamps, including Philips Advance and Universal. Power to the fixture must be turned off before replacing the lamp. Call one of our Lighting Specialists for details at 888.455.2800.
  • Non-Dimmable.  Do not use with dimming ballasts
  • Direct replacement for F40T12 and F34T12 fluorescent lamps
  • 50% energy savings vs. F40T12 rapid-start magnetic systems
  • NSF certified - Can be used in food areas and refrigerated food displays
  • Eliminate the need for rewiring and allows the fixture to maintain original UL and CSA compliance
  • Light distribution that uniformly illuminates the work surface

Energy Used
A rating, expressed in watts, to indicate the rate at which a lamp consumes energy. Also known as wattage value.
20 Watts
Volts
A measure of "electrical pressure" between two points. The voltage specification of an incandescent lamp is the electrical "pressure" required to drive it at its designed point. The "voltage" of a ballast (e.g. 120 V) refers to the line voltage coming from the power source and is connected to the ballast.
120-277,347
Base
The end (or ends) of the lamp that fits into the socket.
Medium Bipin
Bulb Shape
The description of the general appearance of a lamp/bulb consists of a letter(s) followed by a number. The letter indicates the shape of the bulb and the number relates to the diameter of the bulb in eighths of an inch. For example, a common household bulb is the A-19. The bulb is "A" shape and the diameter would be nineteen 8ths of an inch, or 2 3/8".
T-8
Bulb Color
The color of the light produced by a bulb
Daylight White
CRI
Color Rendering Index is an international system used to rate a lamp's ability to render object colors. The higher the CRI (based upon a 0-100 scale) the richer and more accurately colors generally appear. CRI differences among lamps are not usually visible to the eye unless the difference is more than 3-5 points.
83
Color Temperature (Kelvin)
An expression of the hue of the light emitted, measured in degrees Kelvin. Usually expressed by a four digit number followed by (k), such as 2700k. Higher temperatures indicate whiter, "cooler" colors, while lower temperatures indicate yellower, "warmer" colors. Some common Kelvin temperature benchmarks are 2700k (warm white), 3500k (neutral white), 4100k (cool white), 5000k (bright white), and 6500k (daylight).
6500
Brightness (Lumens)
A rating of the initial light output of a bulb, rated after 100 hrs of operation. Lumens are a measure of how much light falls on one square foot of area, one foot away from the light source.
2100
Bulb Finish
The surface finish of a bulb, which may affect the quality of the light emitted.
Opaque
Bulb Technology
The technology implemented by the bulb, e.g. incandescent, halogen, LED
LED
Average Rated Life (hr)
A measurement of the average length of time, between first use and the point when 50% of the lamps tested have stopped functioning, , using an operating cycle of 3 hours on, 20 minutes off.
36000
Operating Temperature (°F)
The ambient temperature in which the product can safely operate.
-4 to 113
Beam Angle (°)
The width of a light beam, expressed in degrees. The beam angle is often part of the ordering code for reflector lamps. For example, a 50PAR30/HIR/NFL25 is a 50-watt PAR30 narrow flood lamp with a beam angle of 25 degrees.
160
Bulb Power Type
Defines how a lamp is powered, whether it needs a ballast or not, or can use either
Ballast Compatible
Length (in)
Also referred to as "Maximum Overall Length" (MOL). For light bulbs, it measures the length of a light bulb, from the top of the bulb to the bottom of the base or pins and is typically expressed in inches. For light fixtures and ballasts, it applies to the total horizontal length of the item.
48
Diameter (in)
Light bulbs: a measurement of a bulb's width taken at the widest point of the bulb. Fixtures: the measurement across the widest point of a circular fixture.
1
Socket Type
Type of socket a linear lamp is compatible with, whether shunted, non-shunted or both.
Non Shunted

Warranty

3 year limited
Food Equipment Certification
