Description

The Energizer 18W 4ft T8 LED tube delivers 1950 lumens of 6500K daylight output through a G13 bi-pin base, designed as a direct retrofit replacement for traditional fluorescent tubes in commercial and industrial fittings. The tube measures 1200mm in length with a 26mm diameter T8 profile, fitting standard 4ft single and twin batten luminaires.

Designed for workshops, retail units, warehouses and task-focused environments where high colour rendering and crisp light are needed, the tube provides 108 lumens per watt efficiency with a 170-degree beam angle for even distribution across ceiling-mounted fixtures. The retrofit design works with existing T8 fluorescent fittings once the old starter and ballast are bypassed — an LED starter is included in the pack to simplify the conversion process.

The tube uses full glass construction with a protective shatterproof coating applied to the outer surface, reducing the risk of glass fragmentation if the tube is accidentally broken during handling or installation. The internal IC driver provides flicker-free operation without visible stroboscopic effect under 6500K daylight temperature, which enhances visual comfort in spaces where concentration and detailed work are required. The non-dimmable design suits mains switching only.

At 230g the tube is lighter than most traditional fluorescent equivalents, simplifying overhead installation when replacing multiple tubes across a commercial space. The 6500K colour temperature produces a cool, bright white light that contrasts with the warmer 3000K-4000K tones used in hospitality and residential settings, making it better suited to technical, retail or warehouse applications.

Frequently Asked

Is this a direct replacement for fluorescent tubes?

Yes, but the existing fluorescent starter and ballast must be bypassed before fitting. The tube includes an LED starter to simplify conversion. If you are unfamiliar with bypassing ballasts, consult a qualified electrician before installation.

What's the difference between 6500K daylight and 4000K cool white?

6500K daylight produces a crisp, blue-toned white light that closely mimics midday natural light outdoors. 4000K cool white is slightly warmer and less stark. 6500K is preferred in technical, workshop and retail environments where colour accuracy and alertness matter.

Does the shatterproof coating make the tube completely safe if broken?

The coating reduces the risk of glass shards scattering if the tube is dropped or broken, but it does not make the tube unbreakable. Handle with care during installation and disposal.

Can this be used in enclosed fittings?

Yes, the tube is designed for use in standard enclosed T8 batten fittings. Ensure the fitting allows adequate ventilation to prevent heat buildup, which can reduce LED lifespan over time.
