Sylvania 40694 LED13T8L48FGDIM850SUBG9

Sylvania 40694 LED13T8L48FGDIM850SUBG9 — SubstiTUBE® IPS Generation 9 4 ft T8 LED Tube, 13W, 2100 Lumens, 5000K, 0-10V Dimmable

The Sylvania LED13T8L48FGDIM850SUBG9 (item number 40694) is a 4 ft SubstiTUBE® IPS Generation 9 LED T8 lamp with a G13 medium bi-pin base and a frosted glass body. It is designed to operate on the fixture's existing instant start or select programmed rapid start electronic T8 ballast, drawing 13W and producing 2100 typical lumens at 5000K and 82 CRI, for a bare lamp efficacy of 162 lumens per watt. Rated life is 50,000 hours to L70 with a 5-year limited warranty (24/7 operation). This lamp is dimmable down to 10% with a compatible 0-10V ballast. Because the ballast stays in the circuit, no rewiring is required, but the ballast must be a compatible electronic type. Confirm ballast model, lamp holder type, and fixture length before ordering.

Technical Specifications

Product Overview

SubstiTUBE IPS LED T8 lamps are ballast-compatible tubes. They install into the existing fixture and run off the electronic ballast already in place, with no mercury, instant light and uniform light distribution. They are engineered for existing instant start and select programmed rapid start electronic T8 ballasts, which minimizes labor and recycling costs compared with a ballast-bypass conversion. The ballast stays in the circuit, so ballast compatibility is the key check before ordering; the lamp is not for magnetic ballasts.

Generation 9 uses a frosted glass body, and glass lamps are suitable for use with tube guards. Beam angle is 220 degrees with a 340 degree light emitting angle. Because the lamp is not affected by switching cycles, occupancy or vacancy sensors can be used with the existing instant start ballast for added energy savings, and there is no warm-up time: the lamp is instant-on with stable lamp-to-lamp color.

This is a dimmable member of the family. Dimming is delivered through a compatible 0-10V ballast, down to 10%; the lamp alone does not provide dimming control.

This order code is factory-set to 5000K at 2100 typical lumens (13W). Other color temperatures in the same 4 ft 13W family are LED13T8/L48/FG/DIM830/SUB/G9 (3000K, item 40691, 2000 lm), LED13T8L48FGDIM835SUBG9 (3500K, item 40692, 2000 lm), LED13T8L48FGDIM841SUBG9 (4100K, item 40693). Output is not uniform across the family: the 3000K and 3500K versions and the 4100K and 5000K versions have different lumen ratings, as shown.

Compatible Applications

• Fluorescent troffer and strip fixture retrofits keeping the existing compatible electronic ballast
• Offices, conference rooms, schools, and institutional corridors
• Retail sales areas
• Spaces using occupancy or vacancy sensors
• Food preparation and processing areas (NSF/ANSI Standard 2 listed)
• Spaces requiring dimming control through a compatible 0-10V ballast
• Fixtures using tube guards for glass containment
• Dry and damp locations, open or enclosed fixtures

Before Ordering — Verify

• Confirm the existing ballast is a compatible electronic instant start or select programmed rapid start T8 ballast with 120-277V or 347V input. Because of the number of ballast designs and topologies, test the lamp on existing ballasts before installing mass quantities.
• This lamp will not operate on magnetic ballasts. Do not use it with older dedicated voltage (120V only or 277V only) ballasts — their electronic components degrade over time and may become unsuitable for the lamp.
• Confirm lamp holder type. For instant start ballasts, use lamp holders with an internal shunt or wired in a shunt configuration. For programmed rapid start ballasts, use rapid-start (non-shunted) lamp holders.
• De-lamping: not allowed for ISH ballasts. For approved ISN and ISL ballasts, de-lamping is allowed for only one lamp so long as the ballast factor remains below 1.20 (for example, a 4-lamp ballast may be run with 3 lamps).
• Do not use with other LED or fluorescent lamps on the same ballast.
• Confirm the ballast is mounted within 20 feet of the lamp.
• If dimming is required, confirm the ballast is a compatible 0-10V dimming ballast. The lamp alone does not provide dimming.
• Confirm fixture length. This is a 4 ft lamp with an overall length of 47.725" ± 0.055" (1212.2mm ± 1.4mm).
• Color temperature — this item is 5000K. Siblings in the same family: LED13T8/L48/FG/DIM830/SUB/G9 (3000K, item 40691, 2000 lm), LED13T8L48FGDIM835SUBG9 (3500K, item 40692, 2000 lm), LED13T8L48FGDIM841SUBG9 (4100K, item 40693).
• Confirm ambient conditions stay within -4°F to 113°F (-20°C to 45°C) and that the lamp will not come into direct contact with water.
• Confirm case quantity — this item is supplied 25 per case.
• The datasheet lists this item as not DLC listed, so it may not qualify for utility rebates that require DLC qualification.
• The manufacturer datasheet notes this item will be discontinued when stock is depleted. Confirm availability before committing to a large project.
• If the QUICK 72SUB+ system warranty is wanted, install a new QHE instant start ballast together with the lamp; see the manufacturer's website for details.

Safety and Handling Guidelines

• Turn off power to the fixture before installing, inspecting, or maintaining lamps.
• Install and operate in compliance with the National Electrical Code, Underwriters Laboratories requirements, and all applicable local codes.
• Insert and align the tube fully in the lamp holders. Partial insertion causes poor or intermittent electrical contact, which can produce short lamp life and arcing, and arcing at the lamp holder can cause localized overheating.
• Read the installation manual supplied inside the packaging before beginning installation.
• Do not install on magnetic ballasts or on older dedicated single-voltage ballasts.
• Do not mix this lamp with other LED or fluorescent lamps on the same ballast.
• This lamp has a glass body. Handle by the end caps, avoid impact, and do not install a lamp with visible damage. Where breakage containment is a concern, use tube guards.
• 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 158°F (70°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 to UL 1993.
• ETL listed.
• DLC 5.1 (datasheet certification list); this item's status: see Before Ordering.
