T8 LED Tubes for Seed Starting & Ballast Compatibility


Is the PhotonTube part number 4024.65.4P compatible with a Phillips Advance REB-2P32-N ballast? I found a ballast compatibility document that lists that ballast as being compatible with your part number 4020 LED tubes. Is that document now obsolete? What is the recommended T8 LED tube height range above plant seedlings? I'm considering a 4 FT 4-lamp T8 LED fixture for my plant shelves. Currently, I'm using a 2-lamp 32-watt T8 fluorescent fixture, and its underperforming.

We're happy to confirm that as our current T8 LED tube light products are of the same family line, the ballast compatibility listed within the document referenced is still current and able to be referenced. 

​As our T8 LED tube lights will emit a far lower amount of heat than traditional horticulture lamps, heat damage to the seedlings is less of a concern. As such, we recommend placing the lamps as close to the seedlings as possible without touching them. That said, different plants might require more precise distances from the light to receive the maximum benefit.
