LED Tubes - Ballast Bypass

Why are thousands of facilities still running on outdated fluorescent systems?
Because most people think switching to LED means replacing entire fixtures. That's expensive. That's disruptive. And for buildings with older T12 or T8 systems running on magnetic ballasts, standard LED tubes won't even work.

We solve real problems for real people. When you call MEBULBS, you talk to someone who understands your facility, not a call center reading from a script.

Here's what ballast bypass retrofit tubes actually do:
These LED tubes have built-in drivers. Your electrician rewires the existing fixture, removes the old ballast, and connects directly to line voltage. Same fixture. Better light. No fluorescent hassles.

You get Xtrabrite™ light that's whiter and brighter than standard LEDs. You eliminate flickering, warm-up delays, end blackening, and cold-weather failures. These tubes start reliably down to 0°F.

Warehouse managers use them in freezer zones. Facility directors retrofit entire office buildings without touching the drop ceiling grid. Parks departments light maintenance buildings where fluorescent tubes used to fail every winter.

This is infrastructure that works.
Energy-efficient. Longer lifespan. Half the total cost of fluorescent when you factor in replacements and electricity.

We carry standard T8 replacements in multiple lengths, high-output tubes for demanding applications, and lower-wattage options when energy savings matter most. Quality ranges from our residential five-year warranty tubes (comparable to big-box stores but with expert support) to Xtreme Duty™ industrial-grade tubes backed by up to a 12 year guarantee.
Safety-coated versions available for applications where shattered glass creates liability.
