Sylvania 40609 LED24T5HO/L48/FG/835/BF

Sylvania 40609 LED24T5HOL48FG835BF — LEDlescent™ 4 ft T5HO Ballast-Free LED Tube, 24W, 3400 Lumens, 3500K, 120-277V

The Sylvania LED24T5HOL48FG835BF (item number 40609) is a 4 ft LEDlescent™ T5HO ballast-free LED tube with a G5 miniature bi-pin base and optimized glass optics. 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 24W and produces 3400 initial lumens at 3500K and 82 CRI, with a rated life of 50,000 hours to L70 and a 5-year limited warranty (24/7 operation). It is double-ended and wired end to end, works with shunted and non-shunted sockets, is polarity neutral, and is non-dimmable. It is for open fixtures only. Because the fixture must be rewired for line voltage, confirm the wiring plan, socket condition, and fixture type before ordering.

Technical Specifications

Product Overview

LEDlescent T5HO ballast-free lamps replace traditional fluorescent T5HO lamps by bypassing the existing ballast and operating directly on 120-277V. The driver is inside the tube, so the ballast is no longer an energy consumer or a future maintenance item and there is no ballast compatibility list to check.

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, and 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.

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. The lamp is instant-on with no warm-up time and no UV emission, and can be used with occupancy and vacancy sensors.

This order code is factory-set to 3500K at 3400 initial lumens (24W). Other color temperatures in the same 4 ft 24W family are LED24T5HOL48FG830BF (3000K, item 40608, 3400 lm), LED24T5HOL48FG841BF (4100K, item 40610, 3500 lm), LED24T5HOL48FG850BF (5000K, item 40611, 3500 lm).

Compatible Applications

• Replacement of 4 ft 54W T5HO fluorescent lamps where the ballast is being removed
• High-output general illumination in open fixtures
• Spaces using occupancy or vacancy sensors
• 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.
• Confirm the fixture is an open fixture. The lamp is not suitable for enclosed (air-tight) fixtures.
• Do not use this lamp with external LED drivers or ballasts, with dimmers, or for emergency lighting.
• Confirm socket condition. Lamp holders should be in good operating condition. Shunted and non-shunted sockets are both acceptable; T5HO sockets are most commonly non-shunted, and the socket leads must be tied together for non-shunted sockets as instructed in the installation guide.
• Confirm supply voltage is within 120-277V.
• Confirm fixture length. This is a 4 ft lamp with a maximum overall length of 45.80" (1163.2mm).
• Color temperature — this item is 3500K. Siblings in the same family: LED24T5HOL48FG830BF (3000K, item 40608, 3400 lm), LED24T5HOL48FG841BF (4100K, item 40610, 3500 lm), LED24T5HOL48FG850BF (5000K, item 40611, 3500 lm).
• Confirm ambient conditions stay within -4°F to 113°F (-20°C to 45°C) and the case stays below 140°F (60°C).
• The datasheet does not list a DLC qualification for this item; confirm with the factory if a utility rebate is involved.

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.
• This lamp has a glass body. Handle by the end caps, avoid impact, and do not install a lamp with visible damage.
• 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 140°F (60°C) maximum temperature.
• This lamp contains no mercury and no lead, and emits no UV. Recycle or dispose of it in accordance with local requirements.

Compliance

• cULus listed. UL Classified as a luminaire conversion retrofit kit under UL 1598C, so the existing fixture's UL rating is not voided when it is electrically modified, provided the supplied instructions are followed.
• NSF listed (per the datasheet).
• FCC Title 47 CFR Part 15 Subpart B Class B.
• RoHS compliant.
• Lead free and mercury free.
• No UV emission.
• 5-year limited lamp warranty based on 24/7 operation; NLB Trusted Warranty Program.
