UL is warning facility managers and installers that installing double-ended direct replacement LED lamps in energized luminaires powered by magnetic 40 watt ballasts might pose a shock hazard. Recent UL testing confirms that luminaires with magnetic ballasts intended for F40T12 fluorescent lamps might pose a risk of electric shock during installation of LED lamps intended for direct substitution of a fluorescent lamp while the circuit is energized. Magnetic ballasts intended for F40T12 fluorescent lamps have not been available in the marketplace for many years.
