The Ballast Compatible (BC) LED Tubes are an easy and cost effective way to upgrade and modernize T8 fluorescent tubes to LED. Our BC Tubes utilize the existing T8 electronic ballast as their power source. To install our BC Tubes, remove the existing T8 fluorescent tube and install the Linmore LED Labs Ballast Compatible LED Tube. No electrical modifications are required.
When the objective is to upgrade T8 tube lighting to LED with low cost and ease of installation, Linmore’s BC Tube is the clear choice.
Applications: Commercial Lighting, Food Processing Lighting, Industrial Lighting, Office Lighting, Parking Garage Lighting, Warehouse Lighting.
Simple Installation
BC Tubes utilize existing T8 or T12 electronic ballast. To install, remove existing fluorescent tube and install. No electrical modifications required.
High-Quality Components
6063-T5 alloy aluminum tube. Polycarbonate lens is 10% thicker than most of the competition for max heat dissipation.

Technical Specs
- Tube: The tube is made of aluminum, 2/3 circle of aluminum, 1/3 circle polycarbonate lens. This “D” shaped aluminum tube utilizes 6063-T5 alloy for maximum release of thermal energy. The tube is 10% thicker than most competing tubes for additional strength and thermal release. Interior PCB Board is made of aluminum core and thermally bonded to a ribbed aluminum heat sink while most tubes use FRP/plastic.
- Lens: Lens is ruggedized polycarbonate 10% thicker than most competing tubes. Beam angle is 180 degrees for wide distribution of light. Glass free.
- End Caps: G13 Med Bi-Pin.
