Energizer LED Tube Bulb G13 1800mm 30W Non-Dimmable - Daylight 6500K

This is a 6ft LED tube with a G13 bi-pin cap at each end, drawing 30W and giving 3400 lumens. It measures 1800mm end to end, the standard length for a 6ft batten or fluorescent fitting, and the light is 6500K daylight: a crisp, blue-leaning white rather than the yellow of a warm white lamp. Output is spread along the length of the tube rather than coming from one point, and the beam angle is a wide 170 degrees.

A 6ft tube is the length most often found in garages, workshops, basements, utility rooms and storerooms, and this one is a like-for-like swap for an existing 6ft lamp in a batten or surface fitting. Daylight at 6500K is the temperature people choose where they need to see detail clearly: over a workbench, along a run of shelving, in a stockroom where labels have to be read at a glance, or in a garage where colours need to look true rather than warmed. It is a brisk light for living rooms and bedrooms, so if the room is one you relax in, a warm white lamp will suit it better.

Dimming is not supported: the specification gives it as non-dimmable, so wire it to a plain switched circuit rather than a dimmer. The IP rating is IP20, which means dry indoor use and no protection against water. The energy label puts it in class E. Each unit is a single tube, and the minimum order is 12, sold in multiples of 12, which suits kitting out a workshop or keeping spares on the shelf. We also list 2G11 LED PLL and 2G7 LED PLS bulbs in cool white for compact fittings.

Which fittings will this tube go into?

It takes a G13 bi-pin holder at each end and measures 1800mm, so it suits a 6ft batten or surface fitting built for a standard 6ft tube.

What does 6500K daylight actually look like?

It is a cool, blue-leaning white with no yellow in it, the kind of light that keeps colours looking true and makes small print and detail easier to read.

Can I put it on a dimmer?

No. The specification gives it as non-dimmable, so it should be run from an ordinary switched circuit rather than any leading-edge or trailing-edge dimmer.

Which old tube wattage does it replace?

No equivalence figure is printed on the retail pack or given in the specification, so compare the 3400 lumens here against the output of the tube you are replacing.

How far does the light spread?

The beam angle is 170 degrees, close to a full half-circle, so the light washes across a ceiling run rather than pooling in a narrow band beneath it.

Do I have to buy more than one?

Yes. Each unit is a single tube and the minimum order is 12, sold in multiples of 12, which suits a workshop fit-out or holding spares.
