15W T12 Reveal Fluorescent Tube

The GE 62871 F15T12/RVL is a 15 watt linear fluorescent tube with a T12 diameter and medium bi-pin G13 base. It produces a warm 2600K colour temperature and 750 lumens of light output with a colour rendering index of 60. This lamp suits fixtures that require a straight T12 tube in residential or light commercial settings.

Sustained output and lifetime

Rated at 9000 hours average life the tube maintains its lumen output over extended daily use rather than only during the first few hundred hours. The 15 watt draw remains stable once the lamp reaches full brightness so energy consumption is predictable for long running periods. Reveal phosphor formulation preserves colour consistency throughout the rated lifetime.

G13 base and fixture fit

The medium bi-pin G13 base fits standard T12 sockets without adapters so installation is a direct swap in compatible troffers strip lights or under cabinet fixtures. Straight tube geometry ensures even light distribution across the full length of the lamp. Buyers who need a different diameter base or instant start electronic ballast compatibility should verify their fixture specifications before purchase.

Questions about this item

How much heat and power does the 15-watt F15T12/RVL tube produce when it runs continuously?

The lamp draws 15 watts and emits 750 lumens at a warm 2,600K colour temperature, so most of the energy becomes light rather than excess heat during all-day operation.

Which ballast and fixture does this medium bi-pin G13 base require to operate?

It needs a T12-compatible ballast and a standard G13 medium bi-pin socket; without both the 15-watt tube will not start.

Will the 2,600K Reveal colour match older 2600K fluorescent tubes I already have installed?

Yes, the 2,600K rating and 60 CRI are identical to other Reveal tubes, so the colour appearance stays consistent alongside existing lamps.
