Description

This T8 LED tube is a straight-swap replacement for an old linear fluorescent tube, fitting the same G13 two-pin cap at each end. It draws just 18 W yet stands in for a 171 W fluorescent, putting out 2880 lumens at a crisp 6500K daylight tone. The wide 220 degree beam spreads light evenly along the length of the tube rather than throwing a tight spot, so it washes a working area with bright, even light. American buyers will know this format as a T8 tube light, the standard linear shape used across shops and workspaces.

This tube suits utility and task spaces where bright, neutral light helps you see clearly: garages, workshops, store rooms, stairwells and under-shelf runs indoors. The daylight 6500K colour reads cool and clean, which keeps detail sharp on benches and shelving. It is rated IP20, so keep it to dry indoor positions and clear of damp, bathroom or outdoor locations. Its long, linear spread means a single tube lights a stretch of bench or corridor without dark gaps, and several can be run side by side over a larger floor area.

The light source is a T8 LED rated at 160 lm/W with an 80 Ra colour rendering figure and a 30,000 hour lifespan. It measures 28 mm in diameter and runs on 220 to 240 V AC mains. This tube is non-dimmable, so pair it with a standard on or off circuit. Where the original fitting used a starter and magnetic ballast, follow the supplied wiring note to remove the starter and bypass the ballast before fitting. Finished in white.

Frequently Asked

What fitting does this tube use?

It uses a G13 two-pin cap at each end, the standard cap for a T8 linear tube. This means it drops straight into an existing T8 batten or fluorescent fitting of the matching length.

What old tube wattage does it replace?

The LED draws only 18 W while replacing a 171 W fluorescent tube of the same format. You get 2880 lumens of daylight output for a fraction of the running power.

Do I need to change anything in the old fitting?

Where the original fitting used a starter and magnetic ballast, you remove the starter and bypass the ballast so the tube runs direct from mains. Follow the supplied wiring note before fitting, and isolate the power first.

Is this tube dimmable?

No, it is non-dimmable and should be run on a standard on or off circuit. Fitting it to a dimmer can cause flicker or shorten its life.
