Sylvania 41997 ECOLED17T8L48FG835TYPEB

Sylvania 41997 ECOLED17T8L48FG835TYPEB — ECO LED T8 Type B Ballast-Free, 4 ft, 17W, 1800 Lumens, 3500K, 120-277V

The Sylvania ECOLED17T8L48FG835TYPEB (item number 41997) is a 4 ft ECO LED T8 Type B ballast-free LED tube with a G13 medium bi-pin base and a frosted glass finish. It has an internal driver and operates directly on 120-277V line voltage with no ballast required — the existing fluorescent ballast is bypassed and disconnected. The lamp draws 17W and produces 1800 initial lumens at 3500K and 80 CRI, with a rated life of 35,000 hours to L70 and a 3-year limited lamp warranty (24/7 operation). It is double-ended and wired end to end, works with shunted and non-shunted sockets, and is polarity neutral. It is non-dimmable. Because the fixture must be rewired for line voltage, confirm the wiring plan, socket condition, and fixture length before ordering.

Technical Specifications

Product Overview

ECO LED T8 Type B lamps are Sylvania's economical line of internal-driver, line-voltage linear LED T8 lamps for office, industrial and education applications. The driver is inside the tube and the lamp runs directly on 120-277V, so no ballast is required. The fluorescent ballast is bypassed and disconnected, which removes it as an energy consumer and as a future maintenance item, and eliminates the ballast compatibility question entirely.

A patented built-in safety circuit prevents current from flowing through the lamp when only one end is engaged in the socket, which eliminates the potential shock hazard during installation. There is no risk of electrical arcing between the lamp pins and the lamp holders. The lamp is double ended and wired end to end, which prevents a non-passive failure if a fluorescent lamp is later installed in the rewired fixture by mistake. It works with shunted and non-shunted sockets, so no socket change is needed, and it is polarity neutral.

Because the lamp is UL Classified as a luminaire conversion retrofit kit under UL 1598C, the UL rating of the existing fixture is not voided when the fixture is electrically modified, provided the installer follows the installation instructions supplied with the lamps. Light output is instant-on with no warm-up time and stable lamp-to-lamp color, and the lamps can be used with occupancy sensors for added energy savings.

This order code is factory-set to 3500K at 1800 initial lumens (17W). Other color temperatures in the same 17W family are ECOLED17T8L48FG841TYPEB (4100K, item 41998), ECOLED17T8L48FG850TYPEB (5000K, item 41999). The 18W ECO LED versions in the same datasheet are ECOLED18T8L48FG835TYPEB (3500K, item 40969), ECOLED18T8L48FG841TYPEB (4100K, item 40970), ECOLED18T8L48FG850TYPEB (5000K, item 40971); those are rated 2160 lm with 50,000 hours L70 life and a 5-year limited warranty.

Compatible Applications

• Office lighting
• Industrial lighting
• Education and school facilities
• T8 and T12 fluorescent fixture retrofits where the ballast is being removed
• Open and enclosed fixtures
• Spaces using occupancy sensors
• Food preparation and processing areas (NSF/ANSI Standard 2 listed)
• Fixtures using tube guards
• Dry and damp locations

Before Ordering — Verify

• Confirm the fixture will be rewired for line voltage with the ballast bypassed. This is a ballast-free lamp and does not operate on a fluorescent ballast.
• Do not use this lamp with external LED drivers or ballasts.
• Confirm socket condition. Lamp holders should be inspected and confirmed in good operating condition before installation. Shunted and non-shunted sockets are both acceptable; for non-shunted sockets, tie the socket leads together as instructed in the installation guide.
• Confirm supply voltage is within 120-277V.
• This lamp is non-dimmable. Do not use it with dimmers.
• Confirm fixture length. This is a 4 ft lamp with an overall length of 47.725" ± 0.055" (1212.2mm ± 1.4mm).
• Color temperature — this item is 3500K. Siblings in the same wattage: ECOLED17T8L48FG841TYPEB (4100K, item 41998), ECOLED17T8L48FG850TYPEB (5000K, item 41999).
• Emergency lighting: the datasheet states this lamp is not for emergency lighting (note 5), yet also lists compatibility with Philips Bodine ELI-S-20 and IOTA IIS-25-I, IIS-35-I, IIS-50-1, IIS-125, IIS-375 and IIS-550 inverters (note 12). Confirm with the factory before using it on an emergency circuit.
• Confirm ambient conditions stay within -4°F to 113°F (-20°C to 45°C) and that the lamp will not come into direct contact with water.
• This item is not DLC listed per the datasheet, so it may not qualify for utility rebates that require DLC qualification.

Safety and Handling Guidelines

• Turn off power at the breaker before installing, inspecting, or maintaining lamps. Ballast-bypass rewiring places line voltage at the sockets.
• Install and operate in compliance with the National Electrical Code, Underwriters Laboratories requirements, and all applicable local codes.
• Read and follow all installation instructions in the packaging before installing.
• Do not expose wiring to sheet metal edges or other sharp objects. Do not make or alter open holes in an enclosure housing wiring or electrical components during kit installation.
• Verify all lamp connections are correct before restoring power.
• This is a glass lamp. Handle by the end caps, avoid impact, and do not install a lamp with visible damage. Where breakage containment is a concern, use tube guards.
• Operate only in dry or damp locations. The lamp must not come into direct contact with water.
• Ensure the fixture allows the case to remain below its 158°F (70°C) maximum temperature.
• This lamp contains no mercury and no lead, and emits no UV. Recycle or dispose of it in accordance with local electronic waste requirements.

Compliance

• cULus listed to UL 1993 and UL 1598C. UL Classified as a luminaire conversion retrofit kit, so the existing fixture's UL rating is not voided when it is electrically modified, provided the supplied instructions are followed.
• NSF listed to NSF/ANSI Standard 2 — Food Equipment.
• FCC Title 47 CFR Part 15 Subpart B Class B.
• RoHS compliant.
• Lead free and mercury free.
• No UV emission.
• Not DLC listed.
• 3-year limited lamp warranty based on 24/7 operation.
