Description

The T8 LED Tube is a linear G13 lamp built to replace a conventional fluorescent strip tube of the same fitting. It draws just 22W yet stands in for an old 203W tube, putting out 3520 lumens at an efficiency of 160 lm/W. The light is a crisp 6500K daylight tone with a 220 degree beam spread, so the output washes evenly down rather than throwing a tight spot. In US terms the G13 two-pin cap is the standard T8 linear tube fitting, the same format used in shop and office strip fittings.

Daylight at 6500K with Ra 80 colour rendering suits places where clear, neutral visibility matters more than warmth, such as garages, workshops, utility rooms, store rooms and stairwells. The 220 degree beam gives a broad, fairly uniform line of light along a bench or walkway rather than a concentrated pool, which is why a run of tubes is the usual way to cover a longer space. This is an indoor lamp rated IP20, so keep it to dry interior location
