T8 LED Tube 9W 95W-eq G13 Daylight

The T8 LED Tube is a linear fluorescent-tube replacement built around a standard G13 two-pin cap, the fitting most existing batten and strip housings already use. It draws just 9W yet pushes out 1440 lumens, standing in for an older 95W tube while using a fraction of the power. The light is a crisp 6500K daylight tone with a wide 220 degree beam, so the output spreads broadly rather than throwing a narrow spot. In US terms this is the familiar T8 tube light, and at 160 lm/W it is an efficient swap for tired fluorescents.

Daylight at 6500K with a CRI of Ra 80 suits places where clear, neutral light matters more than warmth, such as garages, workshops, utility rooms, store rooms and home offices. The broad 220 degree spread means a single tube lights a workbench or shelf run evenly rather than leaving dark edges, and several fitted along a ceiling line give consistent task brightness across a room. It is rated IP20 for dry indoor use, so keep it to enclosed interior spaces and clear of damp, bathrooms or any exposed outdoor position.

The tube measures 28mm in diameter and weighs 112g, running on 220 to 240V AC through its G13 cap. It is a direct LED replacement, so where the original fitting used a starter you remove that starter as part of the swap; check the fitting is suitable for a ballast-bypass tube before installing. This is a non-dimmable lamp rated for 30,000 hours, finished in white with a daylight output. Niori stocks this tube alongside other G13 and linear lighting options in the range.

Product Specification Sheet

Range Datasheet

What fitting does this tube use?

It has a G13 two-pin cap, the standard fitting for T8 linear tubes. This lets it drop into most existing T8 batten and strip housings. Check the overall length matches your fitting before ordering.

What old tube wattage does it replace?

The tube draws only 9W but replaces a 95W conventional tube of similar length. You get 1440 lumens of light for far lower running power. The equivalence is based on light output, not the actual 9W the LED uses.

Do I need to remove the starter when fitting it?

Yes, where the original fitting used a starter you should remove it as part of the swap, as this is a direct LED replacement. Confirm the housing suits a ballast-bypass tube before installing. If in doubt, have a qualified electrician carry out the change.

Is this tube dimmable?

No, this is a non-dimmable tube and should be run on a standard, non-dimming circuit. It gives a fixed 6500K daylight output at 1440 lumens. Pairing it with a dimmer is not supported.
