Description
The T8 LED Tube is a linear LED replacement for a standard fluorescent strip, fitted with the familiar G13 two-pin cap at each end. It draws just 22W yet delivers 3300 lumens, standing in for an older 192W fluorescent tube at a fraction of the energy. The light is a 4000K cool white with a CRI of Ra 80, spread across a wide 220 degree beam so the output washes evenly rather than spotting. American buyers will know this format simply as a T8 tube light.
Its even, glare-free spread suits utility and work spaces such as garages, workshops, store rooms, stairwells and commercial corridors, where a long run of light is wanted overhead. As a linear tube the coverage runs the length of the fitting rather than pooling, so the cool 4000K tone keeps surfaces and surroundings clearly lit for general visibility and task work. Being IP20 rated, it is for dry indoor positions only and should be kept clear of bathrooms, damp areas and any outdoor location. The 220-240V AC operation and 150 lm/W efficiency make it a straightforward swap into existing tube fittings.
The tube measures 28mm in diameter by 28mm and weighs 210g, with a white finish housing the T8 LED source. Depending on the existing gear, the fluorescent starter is removed and the ballast bypassed before fitting, so check the wiring guidance for your luminaire. The lamp is non-dimmable and is rated for 30,000 hours of use. We also stock matching tube fittings and other G13 lengths across the range.

Frequently Asked
Which fitting does this tube need?
It uses a G13 cap, the standard two-pin base found on T8 fluorescent tubes. It drops into any compatible T8 batten or tube fitting.
What old tube wattage does it replace?
The LED draws only 22W but gives the light output of an old 192W fluorescent tube, around 3300 lumens. That is a large energy saving for the same level of brightness.
Do I need to remove the starter or change the wiring?
Depending on the existing fitting, the fluorescent starter is removed and the ballast bypassed before installation. Follow the wiring guidance for your luminaire, or have a qualified electrician carry out the change.
Can this tube be dimmed?
No, this T8 LED tube is non-dimmable and should be run on a standard non-dimming circuit. It produces a fixed 4000K cool white output.
