It draws just 18 W while producing 1820 lumens of 4000K cool white light, a crisp neutral tone that reads cleanly for working and utility spaces. The 200 degree beam angle spreads the output evenly along the length of the tube rather than throwing a tight spot, so the line of light stays consistent end to end. In US terms this is the LED version of the familiar tube light, swapping in where an old fluorescent T8 used to sit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCool white at 4000K suits garages, workshops, storerooms, utility rooms and similar working areas where a clear, neutral light helps with detail tasks. Run as a single tube it covers a small bench or cupboard run, while several mounted in line light a longer workspace or a row of shelving. Because this is a directional tube rather than ambient room lighting, judge it on the run length you want to cover and the spacing between fittings rather than a fixed floor area. With an IP20 rating it is for dry indoor use only, so keep it clear of damp, outdoor and bathroom locations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tube measures 28 mm in diameter and weighs 182 g, running on 220 to 240 V AC at an efficiency of 101 lm\/W. It is non-dimmable and carries a CRI of Ra 80, giving honest enough colour for general and task work. Installation depends on the existing gear: where a starter is fitted it is removed, and fittings with a magnetic ballast need that ballast bypassing so the tube runs direct, which is worth checking before fitting. Rated at 20,000 hours, it is finished in white. Other wattages and lengths sit alongside it in the T8 LED Tube range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCap \/ fitting\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eG13 (T8 tube)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBulb shape\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTube\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePower\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e18 W\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eReplaces\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e116 W incandescent\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLuminous flux\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1820 lm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEfficiency\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e101 lm\/W\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eColour temperature\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4000K (Cool White)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eColour rendering (CRI)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRa 80\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\u003eRated life\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e20000 hours\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\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\/kanlux-37632-spec.pdf?v=1782113350\" 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\/kanlux-37632-datasheet.pdf?v=1782113350\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eRange Datasheet\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eFrequently Asked\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat fitting does this tube use?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt has a G13 bi-pin cap, the standard fitting for a T8 linear tube.
