T8 LED Tube Light with High CRI for Dental Office
I'm looking to replace our current fluorescent T8s with LED T8s (high CRI). Noticed you have a few types of T8s that appear to fit our needs, however, I'm wondering which model you would recommend for a dental office where color matching and lighting comfort are important.
For installations where color matching is a priority, we generally recommend the D50 5000K T8 LED Tube Lights for Color Matching. We also recommend checking to ensure that the ballasts within the preexisting T8 light fixtures are compatible, to ensure optimal functionality.
Based on what I read on the spec sheet, is it correct to assume that I can just install the D50 tubes into the fixtures without removing the ballast and have the option to rewire in the future (remove ballast) if I choose to? If so, that would be awesome because it would allow us to try out the D50 tubes and, if all goes well, we can schedule a day for the electrician to come in to remove the ballasts from all our fixtures and rewire. All our fixtures currently have electronic ballasts (Philips Advance ICN-4P32-N and ICN2P32-N). Are these ballasts compatible?
We are happy to confirm that the fixtures can be rewired for ballast bypass if the lamps are incompatible with the ballasts within.
Based on our review of our compatibility list, it does appear that our T8 lamps are compatible with the PHILIPS-ADVANCE ICN-2P32-N ballasts, though we do not see the ICN-4P32-N model listed.
