The Green Creative 98164 is a 2300-lumen, 17-watt T8 U-bend LED tube designed to replace traditional fluorescent lighting in food service and medical facility environments. Featuring a single-ended power configuration and ballast bypass wiring, this tube eliminates the need for a ballast while delivering consistent illumination with minimal flicker and fading. Its 5000 K color temperature promotes a bright, neutral white output that can help with concentration and task visibility in demanding settings.
Constructed for durability and reliability, the tube uses shatter-resistant glass and is designed for damp locations, supporting installation in kitchens, patient care areas, and other spaces requiring cleanable, long-lasting lighting. The unit is DLC 5.0 listed and UL listed, indicating compliance with recognized efficiency and safety standards. The Green Creative 98164 has a 6 inch leg spacing and a 7.09 inch outside diameter, with a length of 22.43 inches, making it compatible with fixtures designed for 32-watt fluorescents and similar T8 U-bend configurations. It is sold as a single unit, with case quantities available to support facility-wide retrofits.
When considering a retrofit, note that this model uses a ballast bypass approach, which may affect compatibility with existing fixtures and wiring practices. Its compact form and direct-wire design help reduce maintenance needs by offering a long lifespan and eliminating ballast failures. The product comes with a five-year warranty, and packaging is suitable for stocking in MRO inventories to support upkeep of commercial kitchens, clinical areas, and other regulated environments where clean, reliable lighting is essential.
