Case of 40 T5 fluorescent tubes

This case contains forty GE 71628 straight T5 fluorescent tubes. Each lamp measures 48 inches and operates at 51 watts with a 3500K warm white colour temperature. They suit commercial offices, retail displays and educational facilities that require consistent linear lighting.

5000 lumens and 85 CRI output

The lamps deliver 5000 lumens each with a colour rendering index of 85, providing clear colour representation for detailed tasks. Rated at 25000 hours average life, they reduce re-lamping frequency in high-ceiling installations. The T5 bi-pin base fits standard high-output fixtures without adapters.

Replaces older 54W T5 lamps

These 51-watt ECO models directly replace 54-watt T5 tubes while lowering energy draw per fixture. The upgrade is worth it when a facility runs long daily hours and seeks lower operating cost without changing ballasts or fixture spacing. Buyers needing higher lumen packages or different colour temperatures should evaluate alternative specifications.

Questions about this item

Does the G5 bi-pin base on this F54T5 tube work with standard 48-inch T5 fixtures?

Yes, the 48-inch straight tube uses a G5 bi-pin base that fits any fixture designed for F54T5 lamps.

What physical space is required to mount the 48-inch straight tube in a troffer or strip fixture?

The lamp measures 48 inches end-to-end, so the fixture must provide at least that length between lampholders.

How do I install the tube correctly, and what common mistake should I avoid?

Align the pins with the sockets and twist gently until seated; forcing the tube can crack the glass or bend the pins.
