Would the T8 LED bulb still work if the ballasts were to fail?
It states that the T8 tubs can be installed with existing ballasts. If the ballasts were to fail, would the bulb still work?
Generally speaking, if a compatible ballast encounters a failure when connected, we would not expect any damage to occur. Instead, we believe that the T8 LED Tube Lights would shut off, rather than be affected by any surge from the ballasts.
If that failure occurs, we recommend bypassing the ballast using a direct-wire configuration and removing the ballast from the fixture.
