GE Lighting 72863 28W 2675lm 48in T8 3000K G13 case of 36

Warm white T8 for living areas

These 48-inch fluorescent tubes produce 2675 lumens at 3000K using 28 watts each. The G13 medium bi-pin base fits standard T8 fixtures in homes, hotels and commercial spaces. A case of 36 lamps supplies enough stock for multi-room installations or maintenance reserves.

Capacity and headroom

Each lamp delivers 2675 lumens, suitable for general ambient lighting in reception areas, food-preparation zones and residential living spaces. The 28-watt draw keeps energy use modest while the rated 20.5-year life at six hours daily reduces replacement frequency. Output will fall short for high-bay or task-intensive applications needing higher lumen density.

Thermals noise and power

Fluorescent technology runs cooler than incandescent equivalents at the same brightness. The 28-watt power draw per tube limits circuit loading in large installations. Normal operation produces a faint hum typical of magnetic or electronic ballasts; no fan noise is present. Heat output remains low enough for standard enclosed fixtures.
