Product Overview

GE LED Tube Type B T8 4ft 11.5W 4000K 120-347V – LED11BDT8/G4/840/120-347
The GE LED11BDT8/G4/840/120-347 Type B LED Tube is a 4-foot, 11.5W double-ended T8 replacement lamp rated at 1,800 initial lumens and 4000K color temperature. It is built for 120-347V branch circuits, distinguishing it from the standard 120-277V version of this same wattage and length. As a Type B lamp, it is a ballast-bypass design: the fixture must be rewired to run the tube directly off line voltage, and it cannot be installed into a fixture that still has its fluorescent ballast in the circuit.

Product Overview
GE's Type B T8 tubes bypass the ballast entirely, which is why the fixture has to be rewired to run line voltage directly to the lamp sockets before this 48-inch, 11.5W tube is installed. Removing the ballast from the circuit eliminates it as a future point of failure and as a stocked spare part, but it also means this lamp will not light, and can pose a hazard, if it is dropped into a fixture that has not been converted.
The internal safety switch and misapplication circuit built into this lamp are there specifically to reduce risk during that rewiring step and during future relamping by someone unfamiliar with the fixture's ballast-bypass status. GE also offers an optional in-line fuse kit (order code 39017), sold separately, for facilities that want an extra layer of protection against a future relamp mistake.
This 120-347V version is for branch circuits outside the standard 120-277V range common in the rest of the T8 Type B line; confirm the panel voltage before ordering, since it is not interchangeable with the 120-277V SKU of the same wattage and CCT.
Compatible Applications
- Retrofitting 4ft T8 fluorescent fixtures that are being converted to ballast-bypass LED
- Damp-location fixtures — the tube itself is Damp Location rated, though the fixture's own rating still governs the installation
- Open or enclosed troffers, strip fixtures, and coolers/display cases already wired or being rewired for direct line voltage
- Facilities on 120-347V distribution, such as some Canadian and industrial 347V branch circuits
Before Ordering – Verify
- Confirm the fixture has been rewired for ballast bypass — this lamp cannot power on, and may create a hazard, in a fixture still wired through its fluorescent ballast
- Confirm tube length — this is the 4ft (48 in MOL) version; do not substitute across lengths in this family
- Confirm supply voltage matches 120-347V
- Sockets can be shunted or non-shunted — no socket replacement is required for this double-ended Type B design
- If the project depends on a utility rebate, verify this exact model number on the DLC Qualified Products List, not just the product family
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, and before performing the ballast-bypass rewiring
- Label the fixture as ballast-bypass / direct-wire so future relamps are not attempted with a standard fluorescent tube
- Dispose of the removed fluorescent ballast per local electrical waste regulations; it is not reused with this lamp
Compliance
- UL 1993 Listed for LED lamps
- Damp Location rated
- DLC Qualified Products List — confirm this exact model at designlights.org before relying on it for a rebate
