GE 15986 T5 Fluorescent Bulb

The GE 15986 is a 6-watt T5 fluorescent standard bulb producing 295 lumens of cool white light at 4100 K. It fits fixtures with a miniature bi-pin G5 base and carries a rated life of 5000 hours. This lamp suits desk lamps, display cases and under-cabinet installations where a slim linear source is required.

Miniature Bi-Pin G5 Base

The G5 base pins insert directly into compatible sockets without tools, making replacement straightforward in tight spaces such as cabinet valances or appliance cavities. Fluorescent technology delivers lower operating costs over the bulb's lifetime compared with incandescent alternatives. Rapid-start behaviour typically lights the lamp within one second of switching on.

Starcoat Phosphor and Carded Packaging

GE Starcoat phosphor provides a colour rendering index of 60 and lumen maintenance of 92 to 95 percent through the rated life. The carded package protects the 9-inch tube during handling and storage. Buyers needing higher colour fidelity or dimmable operation should consider other lamp types.

Questions about this item

Does the G5 base on this T5 fluorescent tube require a specific ballast voltage?

The bulb is rated for 42 volts and operates on a compatible rapid-start or instant-start ballast matched to a 6-watt T5 lamp.

What fixture length and pin spacing does the 9-inch T5 tube need for proper mounting?

It fits a 9-inch linear fixture with a miniature bi-pin G5 base spaced 5 millimetres apart.

How do I install the F6T5/CW bulb without damaging the pins or socket?

Align both pins with the G5 socket slots, push straight in until seated, then rotate a quarter-turn to lock; forcing at an angle bends the pins.
