Warm white T8 for living areas

These 48-inch fluorescent tubes produce 2675 lumens at 3000K using 28 watts each. The G13 medium bi-pin base fits standard T8 fixtures in homes, hotels and commercial spaces. A case of 36 lamps supplies enough stock for multi-room installations or maintenance reserves.

Capacity and headroom

Each lamp delivers 2675 lumens, suitable for general ambient lighting in reception areas, food-preparation zones and residential living spaces. The 28-watt draw keeps energy use modest while the rated 20.5-year life at six hours daily reduces replacement frequency. Output will fall short for high-bay or task-intensive applications needing higher lumen density.

Thermals noise and power

Fluorescent technology runs cooler than incandescent equivalents at the same brightness. The 28-watt power draw per tube limits circuit loading in large installations. Normal operation produces a faint hum typical of magnetic or electronic ballasts; no fan noise is present. Heat output remains low enough for standard enclosed fixtures.

Questions about this item

Will the G13 base on these 48-inch 28W tubes fit the T8 fixtures I already have?

Yes, the medium bi-pin G13 base is the standard interface for T8 fixtures, so these 48-inch tubes will seat directly in your existing sockets.

How can I verify the 3000K warm white output once the case of 36 is installed?

Switch the lights on and confirm a warm white glow around 3000K; the tubes should deliver 2675 lumens each with no flicker or colour shift.

Does the case of 36 include any ballasts or mounting hardware, or must I supply them?

The case contains only the 36 F28T8/XLSPX30ECO fluorescent tubes; ballasts and fixture hardware are not included and must be provided separately.
