High-output fluorescent tube pack

This pack contains six 48-inch T12 fluorescent lamps with a recessed double contact R17d base. Each tube draws 60 watts and delivers 3400 lumens at a 6500K daylight colour temperature. The lamps are rated for 12000 hours of service life. They are designed for fixtures that accept high-output T12 tubes with R17d sockets.

Suits high-output T12 fixtures

These lamps fit industrial or commercial luminaires built for 48-inch high-output T12 tubes with an R17d base. They are not suitable for standard-output T12 fixtures, rapid-start bi-pin sockets, or any LED retrofit fixtures that require ballast bypass. Buyers needing different lengths, wattages, or base types should look at other lamp families.

R17d base determines compatibility

The recessed double contact R17d base is the single specification that decides whether this lamp will install and operate correctly. Only fixtures equipped with matching R17d sockets for high-output T12 tubes will accept these lamps. Verify the fixture socket type before purchase.

Questions about this item

What does the R17d base mean for compatibility with my fixture?

The Recessed Double Contact R17d base fits fixtures designed for high-output T12 tubes with 17 mm pin spacing.

Will this 48 inch T12 tube fit in my existing high-output fixture?

Yes, the lamp is 48 inches long with a T12 diameter and R17d base, matching standard high-output fluorescent fixtures.

Do I need a special ballast to install these 60 watt high-output tubes?

These lamps require a high-output ballast rated for 60 watt T12 operation; a standard ballast will not start them properly.
