  3. Selecting the Right 4ft T8 Tube Fixture Take out the fluorescent tube out of the fixture and check if it’s T8 or T12. Most 4ft T8 LED tubes available in market can easily replace all the three -- T8, T10 and T12 fluorescent tubes. Then, if it’s T8 fluorescent tube, it will most likely have electronic ballast and if T12, it has to be magnetic ballast. Quite generally, the older fluorescent tube fixture will always have magnetic ballast. Choosing The Right Ballast Option The 4ft T8 LED Tubes usually come in the following types • Ballast-Bypass Tubes • Hybrid (Ballast-Compatible Or Ballast-Bypass) Tubes • Ballast-Compatible Only Tubes www.ledmyplace.com
