The tube uses a glass body with an opal polycarbonate diffuser to distribute light evenly across a 245-degree beam angle, reducing shadows in workshops, warehouses, retail units and commercial spaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for standard T8 fittings on 230V mains, the tube has an integrated driver and ignites instantly without flicker or warm-up delay. The 27mm diameter matches the traditional T8 form factor, so it fits existing batten holders without modification to the fixture. The non-dimmable driver prioritises reliability and longevity over dimming capability, making the tube suited to always-on applications rather than spaces needing variable light levels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 6000K colour temperature produces a cool, clinical white that maximises visibility for detail work, stock-checking and inspection tasks. The tube is rated IP20 for dry indoor use only and carries a CRI of greater than 80, which is adequate for general commercial lighting but not for colour-critical environments. The L70B50 rating of 20,000 hours indicates the point at which 50% of a batch will have degraded to 70% of original output — typical lifespan under continuous operation is approximately 2.3 years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe glass construction gives the tube a more traditional appearance than all-plastic LED tubes, which can help maintain the visual consistency of existing fluorescent installations during phased upgrades. The tube is mercury-free and carries a 2-year warranty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDiameter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e27 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLength\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1512 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eConstruction\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGlass\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eConstruction 2\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u0026amp; polycarbonate\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFinish\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWhite\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIP Rating\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIP20\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePrimary Voltage\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e230V 50Hz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDiffuser\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOpal\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLamp Technology\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLED\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLamp Base\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eT8\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDimmable\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNo\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eL70B50\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e20000\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEnergy Rating (Class) post 2021 SLR\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eE\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBeam Angle\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e245\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCCT\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6000 K\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLight Colour\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDaylight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLumens\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2895 lm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWattage\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e24\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEfficacy\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e131.974 lm\/W\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCRI\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u0026gt;80\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWarranty\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eDownloads\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/8993\/3835\/files\/products_3480294_datasheet.pdf\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eProduct Specification Sheet\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/8993\/3835\/files\/manual_853648.pdf\" target=\"_self\"\u003eProduct Manual\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eFrequently Asked\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan this replace a standard fluorescent T8 tube?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, the 27mm diameter and 1512mm length match the T8 form factor.
