Fluorescent T8 with CoverGuard

This case contains 36 GE fluorescent tubes rated at 38 watts each. They measure 48 inches long and use a T8 form factor. The gold colour temperature provides a warm output suited to retail display, hospitality or general ambient lighting where a softer tone is preferred.

CoverGuard shatter protection limits

The CoverGuard coating holds glass fragments together if the tube breaks, reducing cleanup and injury risk. This protection adds a thin layer that can slightly reduce initial lumen output compared with an uncoated equivalent. The tubes still require a compatible T8 ballast and standard bi-pin sockets to operate.

Gold colour temperature and case quantity

A gold colour temperature shifts the spectrum toward amber, which may not suit tasks needing high colour rendering or cool white accuracy. Buyers who need a neutral or daylight appearance should select a different colour temperature. The 36-unit case is sized for facility relamping projects rather than single-fixture replacement.
