Product Overview

GE LED Tube Type A T8 1160mm 14W 3500K – LED14ET8/G/835/METRIC
The GE LED14ET8/G/835/METRIC Type A LED Tube is a 1160mm (metric 4ft-equivalent), 14W bare-lamp-wattage T8 replacement lamp rated at 2,050 initial lumens on a Normal Ballast Factor (0.88 BF) fixture, in 3500K color temperature. As a Type A lamp, it runs on the fixture's existing electronic fluorescent ballast — no rewiring is required, but actual output varies with the ballast's factor, and the fixture's ballast must be on GE's compatibility list before this lamp is installed.

Product Overview
GE's Type A T8 tubes are built to run on the fixture's existing electronic fluorescent ballast, so there is no rewiring and the existing sockets are reused as-is. That convenience comes with a trade-off the ballast-bypass Type B line doesn't have: actual system wattage and lumen output shift with the ballast's factor, from 15W/1,700 lm on a Low BF (0.78) ballast up to 23W/2,700 lm on a High BF (1.18) ballast, so the same lamp performs differently depending on which ballast it's paired with.
Because the lamp depends on the existing ballast, GE maintains a published compatibility guide (www.LED.com/LEDTUBES-ballast-compatibility) that should be checked against the fixture's ballast model before ordering — an incompatible or aging ballast can affect starting, flicker, or lamp life in ways a ballast-bypass lamp would never encounter.
This is the 1160mm metric-length version, built to replace metric linear fluorescent lamps common in equipment and fixtures sourced outside North America. At 45.67 inches MOL it is close to, but not the same length as, the standard 48-inch (4ft) T8 tube — confirm the fixture uses metric linear fluorescent lamps before ordering, since a standard 4ft tube will not seat correctly in a metric fixture and vice versa.
Compatible Applications
- Retrofitting 1160mm T8 fluorescent fixtures with a compatible electronic Instant Start or Program Start ballast, without rewiring
- Projects where minimizing labor/installation time matters more than eliminating the ballast as a future maintenance item
- Damp-location fixtures — the tube itself is Damp Location rated, though the fixture's own rating still governs the installation
Before Ordering – Verify
- Confirm the fixture's ballast is on GE's compatibility list (www.LED.com/LEDTUBES-ballast-compatibility) — unlike a Type B lamp, this one depends entirely on the existing ballast
- Confirm tube length — this is the 1160mm (45.67 in MOL) version; do not substitute across lengths in this family
- Expect system wattage and lumen output to vary with the ballast's factor (Low/Normal/High) — quote using the fixture's actual ballast factor, not just the Normal BF figures
- If dimming is required, confirm the ballast is on the compatible dimming ballast list before specifying
- This is a 1160mm metric-length tube, not a standard 48-inch (4ft) T8 — confirm the fixture takes metric linear fluorescent lamps before ordering
- This SKU is not DLC Listed — do not quote it into a rebate-dependent project without confirming an alternate qualifying model
Safety and Handling Guidelines
- Glass lamp — handle and store to avoid impact or breakage; do not use if the tube or coating is cracked
- De-energize the fixture before installing or removing the lamp
- No rewiring is performed for a Type A lamp, but confirm the existing ballast and sockets are in good condition before relamping
- Dispose of end-of-life lamps as non-hazardous waste per local regulations
Compliance
- UL Listed for LED lamps
- Damp Location rated
- Not currently on the DLC Qualified Products List
