Suitable for fixtures with conventional or electronic ballast

Fluorescent tubes require a ballast and fixtures either have a conventional (electromagnetic) one or an electronic one. It's easy to tell which type of fixture you have because ones with a conventional ballast require a starter too. If your fixture doesn't have a starter, then it has an electronic ballast. No matter what type of fixture you have, these fluorescent tubes works with both.

Dimensions and wattage

These Philips TL-D Super 80 (MASTER) tubes come in lots of different lengths and wattages. This type of fluorescent tube is known as a T8. It's 28 mm in diameter and has G13 caps that make it easy to install in a suitable fixture.

Lifespan of 20,000 hours

These fluorescent tubes have a lifespan of 20,000 hours. Fluorescent tubes often start to lose their light quality as they approach the end of their lifespan, but Philips has taken care to ensure that won't happen with these tubes. They show colours accurately too thanks to a score of >80 on the colour rendering index and a special coating.

Extra warm white, warm white, cool white and daylight

These fluorescent tubes come in colour temperatures of extra warm white (2700K), warm white (3000K), cool white (3500K or 4000K) and daylight (6500K). Make sure to choose the right colour temperature for your situation.

LED alternative?

These days, there are LED alternatives for every type of lighting, including fluorescent tubes. LED tubes offer much better energy efficiency and a longer lifespan too. To see our extensive range of LED tubes, click here.
