FAQs

Are these tubes LED?

No, these are traditional fluorescent T8 tubes.

What is the length of the tube?

These tubes measure 450mm in length.

What does 4000K mean?

4000K refers to the color temperature, which produces a neutral cool white light.

Can I use these in an LED-only fixture?

No, these are designed for fixtures specifically intended for fluorescent T8 tubes with a compatible ballast.

How should I dispose of these tubes?

Fluorescent tubes contain mercury and should be taken to a specialized recycling center or hazardous waste collection site.

How many tubes are in a pack?

This pack contains two 15W T8 fluorescent tubes.

Troubleshooting

Tube flickers on start-up

Ensure the tube is seated correctly in the pins. If it continues, the starter or ballast in the fixture may be failing.

Tube does not light up

Check that the fixture is receiving power and ensure the ballast is compatible with 15W T8 lamps.

Blackening at the ends of the tube

This is a natural occurrence as the tube nears the end of its life, but check the ballast voltage to ensure it is not overdriving the lamp.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High 950-lumen output for bright task lighting
  • Long 20,000-hour rated lifespan
  • 4000K color temperature ideal for office and utility environments
  • Reliable performance from a reputable manufacturer

Cons

  • Less energy efficient compared to modern LED retrofit tubes
  • Requires a compatible ballast for operation
  • Contains trace amounts of mercury requiring proper disposal
  • Slower warm-up time than newer lighting technologies

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install these tubes, ensure your fixture is powered off at the main switch. Align the pins on each end of the tube with the sockets on the fixture and rotate gently until you hear or feel a click, indicating the pins have seated in the contacts. These tubes are specifically designed for T8-compatible ballasts; verify your fixture ballast matches the 15W rating before installation. When cleaning, ensure the tube is cool to the touch and use a dry, lint-free cloth to remove dust. Handle with care, as glass tubes can shatter if dropped. When they eventually reach the end of their 20,000-hour lifespan, please dispose of them at a designated hazardous waste or lighting recycling facility rather than placing them in standard trash.
