Description
External Drive 22-Watt 4-Foot High Output Fluorescent Replacement - Glass Construction - Dimmable - Bright White
The Keystone KT-LED22T5HO-48G-850-E /G2 is a 22-watt T5 HO LED tube designed as a direct replacement for 4-foot fluorescent T5 HO lamps. It operates as a Type C lamp, meaning it requires a compatible Keystone external LED driver and bypasses the existing fluorescent ballast entirely. The tube outputs 3,400 lumens at 5000K and delivers 136 lumens per watt in a single-lamp configuration with the appropriate driver.
The glass tube measures 47.24 inches in body length with an illuminated length of 45.50 inches and a diameter of 0.63 inches. It uses a G5 base and wires single-ended or double-ended depending on the installation type. Compatible drivers include the KTLD-2LT5HO-UV-22C-VDIM /G2 for one or two lamps and the KTLD-4LT5HO-UV-22C-VDIM /G2 for three or four lamps. Both drivers accept 120 to 277V input and provide 0-10V dimming at 520mA output current. Drivers are sold separately.
