Kumho’s Earthcare Direct Replacement LED T8 does not require an electrical re-wiring to install. Because it works with popular instant-start ballasts, it is independent of the ballast operating voltage which can be 120VAC, 277VAC or 347VAC. This makes switching to LEDs as simple as changing a light bulb: no rewiring or special handling required. Ease-of-use, and patented design sets it apart from other LED T8s.

NOTE: These T8 lamps are designed as direct replacements, to be powered by ballasts in T8 lighting fixtures. They are not designed for use in rewired fixtures where AC power is supplied directly to the lamps.

The Earthcare Direct Replacement LED T8 also incorporates environmentally friendly passive components for a more reliable, longer lasting product with no UV light and no mercury. Using half the energy of a traditional linear T8, the lamp provides instant brightness, producing a 110° beam that spreads illumination uniformly, without hot spots or glare.

Earthcare T8 LED lamps are especially well suited for difficult applications including refrigerator/freezer cases, or high-vibration, hard to reach locations. They are perfect for general lighting, merchandise displays, offices or anywhere building managers want environmentally friendly LED lighting.

The Kumho LED T8 offers “self-adjusting” light output that matches the corresponding ballast factor of the supply (or control) ballast. The new “system matched” light output will meet or exceed that of the one it is replacing.
