Would the LED strips be installed in place of the current T8 fixtures?

NorthLux™ 95 CRI T8 LED Tube for Art & Studio 4024.50.4P. Is this lamp dimmable?

Unfortunately, none of our T8 LED Tube Light products are dimmable. For installations where dimming is helpful, we typically recommend our LED Strip Lights as alternative light sources. 

How are they installed? In the diagram attachment, we are needing a high CRI above the conference table for viewing new products and comparing the color of shipments to the original color. Would the LED strips be installed in place of the current fixtures? 

We can confirm that our LED Strip Lights can be used for both commercial and residential installations. Installations commonly utilize runs of the LED Strip Lights installed within the aluminum channels, which are controlled using smart home systems or wall dimmers and powered with supplies such as the 12V TRIAC Dimmable Power Supply. 

For installations where color accuracy is important, we would likely recommend our D50 or D65 ABSOLUTE SERIES™ LED Flexible Strips, which can output light that is virtually indistinguishable from sunlight. 

If the lights are to be installed within a retrofitted T8 fixture, our primary recommendation would be to ensure that the power supply can comfortably fit within or around the fixture. Some customers choose to utilize the cavity where the ballasts were previously held for such installation. 

Can you give me a drawing of what you speak? Can’t visualize it 

Though we, unfortunately, do not have precise installation schematics on file that we could provide, we have shared a few LayoutMap links below that illustrate installations using connected segments of our LED Strip Lights powered by the TRIAC Dimmable Power Supply. We do hope that these resources prove helpful for your installation planning. 

​The CENTRIC HOME/DAYLIGHT LED Strip Lights featured within the below links are very similar to the ABSOLUTE SERIES™ LED Flexible Strip, though the latter has barrel jack adapters on the reel ends for power connection. As such, we would recommend using the Female DC Barrel Jack Plug Adapter to connect the wiring without requiring soldering. Doing so also makes future adjustments and troubleshooting easier, as the Flex Strip can be detached.
