{"product_id":"t8-led-tube-18w-171w-eq-g13-daylight","title":"T8 LED Tube 18W 171W-eq G13 Daylight","description":"\u003ch5\u003eDescription\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\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\u003e171 W incandescent\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLuminous flux\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2880 lm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEfficiency\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e160 lm\/W\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eColour temperature\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6500K (Daylight)\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\u003e30000 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-33213-spec.pdf?v=1782113349\" 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-33213-datasheet.pdf?v=1782113349\" 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 uses a G13 two-pin cap at each end, the standard cap for a T8 linear tube.
