Although it’s true that installing ballast dependent (or Plug’n’Play) LED T8 tubes is a great investment and you can drastically reduce your lighting energy costs, it’s important to not limit yourself and continue to be chained to the maintenance costs of your ballast for years to come. It’s true, Ballast Dependent LED T8 tubes install very quickly, do not require any re-wiring, and provide over 50% energy savings in minutes. What you need to be aware though before choosing to purchase a T8 LED that is ONLY ballast dependent is:
• It does not work with all ballast types, and may not work with your ballast. If the LED tube is not compatible with your ballast, you would then need to replace your ballast in addition to the T8 LED tube. In the case of an older facility, there may be many different type of ballast installed, where some may work and others may not.
• The ballast don’t last as long as the LED tube, so even though you are buying an LED tube with 5 year warranty and 10+ year life expectancy, you can plan on replacing your ballast in that time period, driving up future maintenance costs.
• The T8 LED tube won’t work without the ballast, so you are forced to continue buying and replacing ballasts as long as you have an LED tube that is ONLY ballast dependent.
