Product Overview
The GE Reveal TriGain LED T8 uses Reveal TriGain technology to filter out dulling yellow light, making reds appear more vibrant and whites look cleaner and brighter than standard LED tubes at the same color temperature. With 91 CRI, this lamp delivers high-definition color rendering well above the 80-85 CRI typical of standard LED T8 replacements, making it well suited to retail environments where merchandise color accuracy drives purchasing decisions, and healthcare or office settings where visual task accuracy matters.
As a Type A (Plug-and-Play) tube, this lamp is designed to operate directly on the existing Instant Start or Program Start fluorescent ballast already installed in the fixture — no ballast bypass or rewiring is required, making it a straightforward one-for-one replacement for 17W fluorescent T8 tubes. The 70,000-hour rated life is up to three times longer than a typical fluorescent tube, substantially reducing relamping frequency and maintenance labor in commercial installations.

- Damp locations and enclosed luminaires — Rated for a wide -4°F to 122°F operating range.
Before Ordering — Verify
- Ballast Type: Confirm your fixture has an Instant Start or Program Start fluorescent ballast. This Type A tube is not designed for ballast-bypass (Type B) installation.
- Existing Lamp Wattage: Confirm you are replacing a 17W fluorescent T8 tube of the same 24" length.
- Dimming: If dimming is required, confirm your ballast is dimmable and compatible with this LED tube.
- Base Type: Confirm fixture sockets accept a medium bi-pin base.
- Application Environment: Confirm whether your installation is a standard dry location, damp location, or enclosed luminaire — this lamp is rated for all three.
