GE 66471 28W T8 Fluorescent Tubes
This case contains 36 straight T8 fluorescent tubes rated at 28 watts each. They produce a 3500K colour temperature with a light output of 2600 lumens per tube. The lamps measure 48 inches in length and fit a Medium Bi-Pin G13 base. They are designed for general lighting applications requiring consistent output.
Ecolux Extra Life Replacement
The F28T8/XL/SPP35/ECO model serves as a direct replacement for standard 28W T8 lamps in existing fixtures. The Extra Life rating extends the service interval compared to standard-life alternatives, reducing maintenance frequency. The jump is worth it when minimising relamping labour in high-ceiling or continuous-run installations is a priority. The Ecolux designation indicates reduced mercury content for simpler disposal compliance.
Commercial and Institutional Buyers
This pack suits facility managers maintaining offices, retail spaces or warehouses with compatible T8 ballasts. The 36-count case aligns with bulk relamping schedules for large projects. Buyers needing dimmable LED retrofits, instant-start compatibility without ballast checks, or colour temperatures outside 3500K should look at alternative technologies. Residential users requiring only a few lamps will find the case quantity excessive.

Questions about this item
Will these 48-inch T8 tubes fit a fixture that takes G13 bi-pin lamps?
Yes, each tube has a Medium Bi-Pin G13 base and measures 48 inches end-to-end, matching standard T8 linear fixtures.
Do I need to remove or bypass the existing ballast when installing these GE 66471 tubes?
No, they are designed to operate on compatible T8 electronic ballasts; the common mistake is using them with magnetic ballasts or single-pin sockets.
How long before I should expect to replace these 28-watt 3500K tubes?
Rated as Extra Life, they deliver 2600 lumens at 3500K and typically last well beyond standard T8 lamps under normal switching cycles.
