Product Overview

Current / GE 93314800 LEDT8/LC/G/4/840XL – 4 ft T8 Type C LED Tube | 4000K | 6-18W Selectable | G13 Base | 70,000 Hour L70
The Current / GE 93314800 LEDT8/LC/G/4/840XL is a 4 ft T8 Type C LED glass tube with a G13 base, rated at 4000K cool white and 80 CRI. Output is set by the LumenChoice remote driver rather than by the tube, so a single tube covers 6-18W in field-selectable steps (6W = 1050 lm, 9W = 1500 lm, 12W = 1900 lm, 15W = 2300 lm, 18W = 2650 lm). Rated life is 70,000 hours to L70, and the tube carries a damp location rating for use in open or enclosed fixtures. A separate Type C remote driver is required — this tube will not operate on a fluorescent ballast or on line voltage.

Product Overview
Current's Type C LED tubes are positioned for retrofit and new-construction projects that need dimming and controllability rather than the simplest possible install. The 93314800 sits in the LumenChoice line, where the lamp is deliberately not tied to a single wattage: the same tube runs at any of the driver-selectable levels, so a facility can stock fewer SKUs and tune light levels room by room after installation.
Type C is an external-driver LED tube architecture. The tube itself contains no internal driver; a dedicated remote LED driver converts line voltage to low-voltage Class 2 DC and feeds the lampholders directly. Existing fluorescent ballasts must be removed and the fixture rewired to the remote driver before these tubes will operate. This arrangement is what allows 0-10V dimming and field-tunable output across an entire installation from a small number of control devices.
This version is a 4 ft T8 glass tube on a G13 base at 4000K cool white, with a maximum overall length of 48 inches. At its highest setting it produces 2650 initial lumens, and at the driver default of 12W it produces 1900 lumens. Current rates the family for 70,000 hours to L70 and for ambient temperatures from -20°C to 45°C. All values are design or typical values measured under laboratory conditions.
Compatible Applications
- Offices, schools, and healthcare spaces where 0-10V dimming or daylight harvesting is required
- Fluorescent retrofits where the ballast is removed and the fixture is rewired to a remote driver
- Troffers, wraps, strips, and other fixtures accepting 4 ft T8 lamps on G13 lampholders
- Open or enclosed fixtures in dry or damp locations
- Facilities standardizing on fewer lamp SKUs by tuning output at the driver
- Retrofits targeting utility or DLC-based rebates, where the specific model is confirmed qualified
Before Ordering – Verify
- Confirm a Type C remote driver is included in the project scope. This tube has no internal driver and will not light on a fluorescent ballast or on line voltage.
- Confirm the existing ballast will be removed and the fixture rewired to the low-voltage DC output of the remote driver.
- Confirm the lampholder is G13 and that the fixture accepts a 48 in. maximum overall length.
- Confirm the wattage setting you need falls within the 6-18W range this tube supports, and that the chosen driver covers that same range.
- Confirm the driver's maximum tube count is not exceeded on each circuit.
- Confirm the color temperature. This tube is fixed at 4000K; SpectraChoice selectable-CCT versions are a different order code.
- Confirm the fixture location is dry or damp; this product is not rated for wet locations.
- If a rebate depends on DLC qualification, confirm the exact model on the DesignLights Consortium qualified products list before purchase.
- Carton quantity is 20, which is also the manufacturer minimum order quantity.
Safety and Handling Guidelines
- De-energize the circuit before removing the ballast or installing the remote driver.
- Ballast removal and driver wiring should be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code and local codes.
- Confirm the fixture is clearly labeled after conversion so future service personnel do not attempt to install a ballast-driven lamp.
- These are glass tubes; handle carefully and avoid impact or twisting force on the end caps.
- Set the driver switch code before installation rather than adjusting under load.
- Do not operate the tube outside the -20°C to 45°C ambient temperature rating.
- Recycle or dispose of removed fluorescent lamps and ballasts according to local regulations.
