The new EarthBulb LED T8 offers a easy to install solution for direct wiring fixtures that might require single- or double-end direct wire solutions.  With a high-color rendering of 82, the lamp provides a 300° beam angle to produce a wide distribution pattern for directing more light to work surfaces from the existing troffer. It also works with strip fixtures, as well as for task and display lighting applications.

It is a translucent glass construction with an internal coating to insure even illumination and is engineered for high lumen maintenance over its 50,000-hour rated performance life.

The Direct Wire LED T8 Linear is designed for fast and easy installation.  No lamp holder modifications are necessary for double end installation. Simply run the black (load) wire to one end and white (neutral) wire to the other.  The lamp is also capable of single end direct wire applications.

Suitable for damp and dry locations, the EarthBulb Direct Wire LED T8 Linear is listed by the Design Lights Consortium (DLC), UL, FCC, and RoHS. It will perform in extreme temperature ranges from -4°F (-20°C) to 113°F (45°C) and comes with a 5-year limited warranty.
