The Philips MASTER TL-D Super 80 fluorescent bulb has a very long service life of up to 20,000 hours.
Yes, this bulb is dimmable, but it requires a compatible dimming ballast.
The 'Cool daylight' option typically corresponds to a color temperature of 6500 K.
It can be operated with conventional (VG) or electronic ballast (EB) technology. The highest efficiency is achieved with electronic ballasts.
'Super 80' refers to the light color quality, indicating good color rendering (Ra80) achieved through a three-band fluorescent material.
This is a T8 bulb with a G13 cap. The specific length for this variant is approximately 604 mm, with a diameter of 28 mm.
The bulb has a low mercury content, specified as 2 mg.
Check that the tube is properly seated in the G13 sockets. Verify that the fixture is receiving power and that the ballast is functioning correctly. Ensure compatibility with the ballast type.
This could indicate a failing ballast or a loose connection. Turn off power and check connections. If flickering persists, the ballast may need replacement.
Ensure the tube is clean and that there are no obstructions to light emission. Check if the ballast is appropriate for the tube's wattage and if it is operating efficiently (electronic ballasts are best).
This often indicates an issue with the ballast or starter (if applicable to conventional ballast systems). Consult your fixture's manual or a qualified electrician.
Setup: Ensure the power is switched off before attempting to replace any fluorescent tube. Carefully remove the old tube by rotating it slightly and pulling it out. Insert the new MASTER TL-D Super 80 tube by aligning the pins with the G13 sockets and rotating it until it locks into place.
Compatibility: This tube is designed for fixtures using a G13 cap type and T8 bulb size. It can be operated with both conventional (VG) and electronic ballasts (EB). For the highest efficiency and best performance, electronic ballasts are recommended. Verify that your existing fixture's ballast is compatible with an 18W T8 tube and the specified voltage range.
Care: Periodically clean the tube and fixture with a dry or slightly damp cloth to maintain optimal light output. Avoid using abrasive cleaners. Ensure ventilation around the fixture is clear to prevent overheating.
