MaxLite offers a safer, more reliable alternative to the dual-mode lamps on the market with the new Hybrid Series UL Type A/B LED T8 Lamp. Designed as a universal solution, the Hybrid Series lamp can be used with a compatible fluorescent ballast (UL-A) or ballast bypass (UL-B). The MaxLite product features improved integrated circuit (IC) technology that detects the lamp connection and corresponding operating mode. Each pin at the lamp base is engineered with a thermal fuse that detects overheating and responds by automatically shutting the lamp off. The lamp is packaged with a re-lamping label that provides a clear wiring description to help maintenance staff easily identify fixture modifications in the field. The MaxLite T8 also offers more robust ballast compatibility than competitors, including instant start, programmed start, emergency and dimming ballast compatibilities.
