The tube measures 1200mm in length with a 26mm diameter T8 profile, fitting standard 4ft single and twin batten luminaires.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight (KG)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.23\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWattage\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e18W\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLumen\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1950\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLamp Shape\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTube\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\u003eEnergy Rating\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eF\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eKelvin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6,500K\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eColour Temperature\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDaylight\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\u003eBeam Angle\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e170\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLED or Halogen\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLED\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eFrequently Asked\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this a direct replacement for fluorescent tubes?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, but the existing fluorescent starter and ballast must be bypassed before fitting.
