Fluorescent LED Tubes Replacement
I would like to replace the fluorescent bulbs from my old grow light fixture. The bulbs are 1 3/8” in diameter and 47” long without measuring the prongs that stick out. Will your PhotonTube™ T8 LED Grow Light Tube for Horticulture fit in these old fixtures?
Based on the dimensions provided, it appears that you are using T12 tube lights in a T12 fixture. In case it proves to be helpful, T5HO and T12 tube lights have slightly different dimensions as well as different power requirements.
We can confirm that our PhotonTube™ T5HO LED Grow Light Tubes for Horticulture are compatible with existing 4-ft T5HO grow light fixtures & ballasts and would require ballast bypass for functionality with T8 or T12 fixtures, as illustrated within the installation guide. Unfortunately, any use with T12 fixtures without rewiring will cause hardware damage that will void the warranty due to the different power requirements.
