Sylvania 18 W T8 Fluorescent Tube, 1300 lm, 600mm, G13

A new generation of triphosphor coated fluorescent tubes. Using T8 triphosphor tubes in place of T12 and T8 halophosphor tubes increases light levels and lamp life by up to 20000 hours, when used with electronic control gear. In addition, these T8 tubes provide improved colour rendering performance, reduced maintenance and energy costs. These lights start instantly with brighter lighting compared to standard fluorescent tubes.

High light output and almost constant lumen maintenance throughout life
High colour rendering (Ra85/Class 1B)
Consumes 10% less energy than comparable 38 mm fluorescent tubes
Operates on conventional and electronic ballasts

Cost effective and reliable. Easy to install and give instant light without compromise on luminosity. Well suited for garages, workshops and businesses.

Fluorescent Triphosphor

Triphosphor tubes have longer life, a lower mercury content, better colour rendering and higher lumen maintenance than their Halophosphate counterparts. The tubes are available in a variety of colour temperatures from 3000K (warm white) to 6000K (daylight).

• Extended life expectancy which can be increased by upto 20,000 hours with the use of high frequency luminaires.
• Shatter resistant versions available which retain the fragments in the event of a breakage.
• Option of triphosphor tubes with internal reflectors, which reduce waste light and increase light output by up to 75%.
• 16mm (T5) tubes provide a compact alternative to T8 tubes, offering peak performance at +35 °C and typically provide 5% more efficiency in most ceiling applications when compared to equivalent T8 tubes.

Nominal tube diameter - T5=16mm, T8=26mm, T9=29mm, T12=38mm
