  • Product typeFluorescent Tubes
  • Case of 30 lamps simplifies large installations
  • 30 watt lamp delivers 2800 lumens output
  • 5000K daylight colour suits task lighting needs
  • 36000 hour average life reduces replacement frequency
  • CRI 85 gives good colour rendering quality

Case quantity and application

This case contains 30 straight T8 fluorescent tubes rated at 30 watts and 2800 lumens each. The 5000K daylight colour temperature suits commercial offices, retail spaces and industrial facilities that require consistent, cool-white illumination. Buyers who need a smaller quantity or a warmer colour appearance should look elsewhere.

Base type and environmental design

Each lamp uses a medium bi-pin G13 base for direct fit into standard T8 fixtures. The Octron Ecologic 3 construction reduces mercury content to meet TCLP compliance, while the Super Saver Extended Performance design maintains output over a 36000-hour rated life. Installations that demand instant-start ballasts or dimming controls not listed here may not be compatible.

Replacement scenario and value point

These lamps replace existing 30-watt T8 tubes in fixtures already wired for G13 bases, delivering 2800 lumens at 85 CRI. The upgrade is worthwhile when a facility wants longer relamp intervals and lower mercury disposal impact without changing ballasts. Projects requiring higher lumen packages, different colour rendering or LED retrofit kits are not addressed by this product.

Questions about this item

Does the G13 bi-pin base limit the tube to instant-start ballasts only?

No, the G13 medium bi-pin base fits both instant-start and rapid-start ballasts; the lamp itself is rated for 30 watts and 2800 lumens at 5000K.

What fixture length and clearance does the 48-inch tube require?

The tube measures 48 inches end-to-end and needs a standard T8 strip or troffer with G13 lampholders spaced for nominal 4-foot lamps.

Is there a specific wiring step that installers often miss with this lamp?

Many installers forget to verify the ballast label matches the FO30/850/XP/SS/ECO3 designation and 30-watt rating before seating both pins fully.
