UL Type A Lamps

Two-foot, three-foot, four-foot, eight-foot, and U-bend LED “tubes” designed to replace two-foot, three-foot, four-foot, eight-foot, and U-bend fluorescent lamps, respectively. Products in this primary use designation employ lamp holders to connect to the fixture being retrofitted and are designed to be “plug and play” replacements for fluorescent lamps. That is, products in this category operate utilizing an existing fluorescent ballast, and do not require mechanical or electrical changes to the fixture. Note that due to testing considerations, at this time only products that operate utilizing specific ballast types are eligible. Replacement lamps designed to operate utilizing magnetic ballasts or other types of electronic ballasts not specified are not eligible at this time. Also note that products claiming to replace T12 lamps are not eligible under Type-A primary use designations. (See Testing and Reporting Requirements for Linear Replacement Lamps for more detail on testing requirements.) Please note reference to UL type is derived from UL 1993, 4th edition, 2012-12-04 Section SA6.13.1.
