Description
This T8 LED tube is a direct replacement for an old linear fluorescent tube, fitting the standard G13 two-pin cap at each end. It draws just 9W while putting out 1440 lumens, so it stands in for a 95W fluorescent tube on far less energy. The light is a 4000K cool white with a CRI of Ra 80, spread across a wide 220 degree beam for an even wash along the length of the fitting rather than a tight directional spot.
It suits utility and work spaces where a clean, neutral white helps with visibility: garages, workshops, stores, kitchens, utility rooms and corridors. Coverage runs evenly down the line of the fitting, so several tubes in a row give consistent overlapping light across a ceiling. The IP20 rating means it is for dry indoor use only, so keep it clear of bathrooms, porches and any damp or outdoor location. Mount it in an existing T8 batten or enclosure at normal ceiling height.
The tube measures 28mm in diameter by 28mm and weighs 112g, running on 220 to 240V AC. Like most LED retrofit tubes it bypasses the old ballast arrangement, so any existing starter should be removed and the fitting checked against the wiring guidance before fitting. Rated for 30,000 hours, it is a non-dimmable tube finished in white. The wider T8 LED tube range covers other lengths and outputs in matching cool white.

Frequently Asked
Which fitting does this T8 tube need?
It uses the G13 two-pin cap found on standard T8 linear fluorescent fittings, with a pin at each end of the tube. It is a straight retrofit for an old T8 fluorescent tube of the same length.
What old tube wattage does it replace?
The tube draws only 9W of actual power yet gives 1440 lumens, which is equivalent to a 95W fluorescent tube. You get the same brightness for a fraction of the running cost.
Do I need to remove the starter or bypass the ballast?
Yes. As an LED tube it does not work through the old fluorescent ballast and starter, so the starter should be removed and the fitting wired to the supplied guidance. Have the work checked by a competent electrician if you are unsure.
What colour and brightness does it give?
It produces 1440 lumens of 4000K cool white light with a CRI of Ra 80, spread over a 220 degree beam. The neutral white tone suits garages, workshops and utility areas where clear, even light matters.
