T8 LED Tube 22W 140W-eq G13 - Daylight

This T8 LED tube is a linear, fluorescent-tube replacement on the G13 two-pin cap, drawing just 22W to deliver 2270 lumens at 6500K daylight. It is the LED upgrade for an existing T8 batten or fitting, swapping in where an old 140W tube once sat while pulling a fraction of the power. In US terms this is a standard T8 tube light, sized to the familiar linear format that drops into the same end caps. The 200° beam spreads light broadly along its length rather than throwing it forward, so it washes a space evenly instead of spotlighting one point.

Its crisp 6500K daylight tone and Ra 80 colour rendering make it a natural fit for garages, workshops, utility rooms, storerooms and other working interiors where clear, neutral light helps with detail work. The 22W draw and 103 lm/W efficiency mean a noticeable cut in running cost against the 140W tube it stands in for, with the same broad coverage across a bench, shelving run or walkway. As an IP20 fitting it is for dry indoor use only, so keep it clear of damp, unheated outbuildings and any exposed location. Mounted in a ceiling or wall batten, it lights the area below and around its full length rather than over a measured floor footprint.

The tube runs at 220-240V AC on the G13 cap and is built to a 20,000 hour rated life. Where the original fitting used a starter and magnetic ballast, that gear is typically removed or bypassed for LED operation, so check the wiring guidance before fitting. It is non-dimmable, finished in white with a Ø28 by 28 mm linear profile and a 210g weight. Our range also covers other T8 lengths and colour temperatures if you need to match an existing run.

Product Specification Sheet

Range Datasheet

What does this T8 LED tube replace?

It is a G13 (T8) tube that stands in for an old 140W linear fluorescent tube while drawing only 22W itself. You get 2270 lumens for a fraction of the running cost, with the same broad spread of light along the fitting.

Do I need to remove the starter or ballast?

Where your existing fitting used a starter and magnetic ballast, that control gear is typically removed or bypassed so the tube runs directly. Check the wiring guidance for your fitting before installing, and have any rewiring done by a competent electrician.

What colour of light does it give?

It produces a crisp 6500K daylight tone with Ra 80 colour rendering, which suits garages, workshops and utility spaces where clear, neutral light is useful. It is a fixed colour temperature, not adjustable.

Can it be dimmed or used outdoors?

No, this tube is non-dimmable, so it runs at full output only. It is also rated IP20 for dry indoor use, so keep it out of damp, unheated or exposed locations such as outbuildings, carports or bathrooms.
