T8 LED Tube 9W 153W-eq G13 Linear - Cool White

The T8 LED Tube is a linear G13 lamp built to replace an old fluorescent tube of the same shape. It draws 9W yet puts out 2700 lumens, standing in for a 153W fluorescent tube while using a fraction of the energy. In US terms a T8 tube light of this kind is a familiar fitting, and the G13 bi-pin cap drops into the existing twin-pin holders at each end. The light is a 4000K cool white with a wide 220 degree beam, giving an even, neutral spread along the length of the tube rather than a tight directional cone.

This tube suits utility and working spaces where steady, clear light matters more than warmth: garages, workshops, store rooms, kitchens, corridors and under-cover indoor areas. Because the output runs the full length of the tube at a 220 degree spread, it washes a wide strip of ceiling or worktop beneath it rather than throwing a focused beam, so several tubes set in a row give consistent coverage across a larger room. It is rated IP20, which means dry indoor use only; keep it clear of bathrooms, damp stores and any outdoor or sheltered-outdoor position. The cool white tone reads as crisp and practical, well matched to task areas and visual work.

The lamp is finished in white with a linear tube body measuring 28mm in diameter and listing a compact end profile, weighing 188g. It runs on 220 to 240V AC and reaches 150 lm/W efficiency with a CRI of Ra 80 and a rated life of 30,000 hours. The light source is integrated T8 LED, so there is no separate diode to change. Note that this is a non-dimmable tube. Check whether your existing fitting needs the starter removed or the ballast bypassed before fitting, as wiring varies by luminaire. Sister sizes and warm white versions sit alongside this 9W tube in the wider Niori range.

Product Specification Sheet

Range Datasheet

Which fitting does this tube need?

It uses a G13 bi-pin cap, the standard twin-pin fitting found on T8 fluorescent tube holders. The two pins at each end locate into the existing tombstone sockets, so it goes straight into a matching T8 housing.

What old tube wattage does it replace?

This tube draws just 9W of actual power while delivering 2700 lumens, which replaces a 153W fluorescent tube. The LED uses only a fraction of the energy for a comparable light output, so running costs drop while brightness stays high.

Do I need to change anything in the fitting before installing it?

Many LED tube conversions require the old starter to be removed or the ballast bypassed, as the wiring differs from a fluorescent setup. Check your luminaire type before fitting and have any rewiring carried out by a competent electrician where needed.

Is this tube dimmable?

No, this is a non-dimmable tube and should be run at full output on a standard switch. It is not designed to work with a dimmer circuit, so pairing it with one is not recommended.
