Type B LED Tubes:
For those comfortable with electrical work, Type B LED tubes are an excellent choice. These tubes do not rely on ballasts and require rewiring to bypass them. Although a bit more involved, this process enhances energy efficiency and often results in a longer lifespan for the LED tubes. To ensure safety, it's recommended to seek professional assistance for rewiring.
Type C LED Tubes:
Similar to Type B but with a distinctive feature – Type C LED tubes have an external driver. While rewiring is necessary to bypass the ballast, these tubes offer high functionality. Their compatibility with automatic motion sensors and dimmers makes them a versatile and energy-efficient choice. While installation may require some electrical work, the benefits outweigh the effort.
Type D or Type AB LED Tubes:
A newer option in the market, Type D or Type AB LED tubes offer flexibility. Compatible with both ballast and non-ballast fixtures, they provide the convenience of use in various setups. Some tubes are single-end wired, while others are double-end wired, offering adaptability to different fixtures.
