Description
The T8 LED Tube is a linear replacement for an old fluorescent tube, fitted with a G13 two-pin cap at each end. It draws 22 W yet pushes out 3520 lumens, so it stands in for an old 203 W tube while cutting running power sharply. The light reads as a 4000K cool white, a clean neutral tone for working areas, and a wide 220 degree beam angle spreads the output evenly down the length of the tube rather than throwing a narrow spot. In US terms this is the direct LED upgrade for a standard T8 tube light, sold as a one-for-one swap.
Made for indoor commercial and utility spaces, it suits workshops, garages, store rooms, stairwells, corridors and ceiling battens where a long even wash of light matters more than a focused beam. At 160 lm/W it is an efficient choice for areas that stay lit for long stretches. Coverage runs along the line of the fitting, so spacing tubes across a ceiling at regular intervals gives the steady, shadow-light commercial spaces need. Being IP20 rated, it is strictly for dry indoor use; keep it clear of bathrooms, damp utility corners and any outdoor or sheltered-outdoor position.
The tube measures 28 mm across and weighs 210 g, with a white body and a Ra 80 colour rendering that handles general task work well. It runs on 220-240 V AC and is rated for 30,000 hours of service. Before fitting, check whether the existing fitting needs the starter removed or the ballast bypassed for an LED tube, as the wiring varies by luminaire. This tube is non-dimmable, so pair it with a standard on or off switch rather than a dimmer. Cool white at 4000K, it sits in our wider range of T8 LED tubes available in alternative wattages and tones.

Frequently Asked
What does this T8 LED tube replace?
It is a direct replacement for a standard T8 fluorescent tube with a G13 two-pin cap. Drawing just 22 W, it gives the light output equivalent to an old 203 W tube, so it is a one-for-one upgrade in most existing battens and fittings.
Do I need to remove the starter or bypass the ballast?
This depends on your existing fitting. Many older fluorescent luminaires need the starter removed or the ballast bypassed before an LED tube will work correctly. Check the wiring of your specific fitting, and have any rewiring carried out by a qualified electrician.
Can this tube be used outdoors or in a bathroom?
No. It carries an IP20 rating, which means it is for dry indoor use only. Keep it clear of bathrooms, damp areas and any outdoor or sheltered-outdoor location.
Is this tube dimmable?
No, this tube is non-dimmable. It should be wired to a standard on or off switch rather than a dimmer circuit. Its 4000K cool white output and Ra 80 colour rendering suit workshops, garages and corridors where steady, even light is needed.
