Description

This T8 LED tube is a direct replacement for an old linear fluorescent tube, taking the standard G13 two-pin cap at each end. It draws just 22 W yet puts out 2270 lumens, standing in for a 140 W fluorescent tube while using a fraction of the power. The light is 4000K cool white, a clean neutral tone that suits working spaces, and a wide 200 degree beam spreads it evenly along the length of the fitting rather than throwing it in one direction. Across the Atlantic this format is known simply as a tube light, the LED answer to the familiar strip-light tube.

Cool white at 4000K reads as a crisp, alert light without the blue edge of full daylight, which makes this tube a sensible fit for garages, workshops, utility rooms, storerooms, kitchens and similar task areas where clear sightlines matter. The 200 degree spread means a single tube washes a working surface or aisle below it fairly uniformly, so it covers the length of the fitting rather than spotting one point. It is rated IP20 for dry indoor use only, so keep it to enclosed interior fittings and clear of damp, garden or bathroom locations.

The tube measures 28 mm in diameter and runs on 220 to 240 V AC mains through the existing G13 holders. Before fitting, the original fluorescent starter must be removed and the magnetic ballast bypassed so the tube runs direct from the mains, as is normal for LED retrofit tubes. It carries a CRI of Ra 80, an efficiency of 103 lm/W and a rated life of around 20,000 hours, and the body is finished in white. This tube is non-dimmable. We stock the range in matching lengths and output ratings to suit different fittings.

Frequently Asked

Which fitting does this tube need?

It uses the G13 cap, the standard two-pin base found on T8 linear tubes. It drops straight into the holders of an existing T8 fluorescent fitting, so no new fixture is needed for most retrofits.

What old tube wattage does it replace?

At 22 W actual draw it replaces a 140 W fluorescent tube while delivering 2270 lumens. The LED itself only ever uses 22 W, so the saving against the old tube is considerable over its 20,000 hour rated life.

Do I need to remove the starter or bypass the ballast?

Yes. The original fluorescent starter must be removed and the magnetic ballast bypassed so the tube runs directly from the 220 to 240 V mains. This is standard practice for LED retrofit tubes and should be carried out by a competent electrician.

Is this tube dimmable?

No, this tube is non-dimmable and should be run on a standard on or off switch. It gives a fixed 2270 lumen output at 4000K cool white whenever it is powered.
