Osram 15 W T8 Fluorescent Tube, 950 lm, 450mm, G13

Osram Lumilux T8 fluorescent tubes are energy efficient fluorescent lamps. They meet standard T8 sizing, which means they are tubular with a 26 mm diameter. These fluorescent tubes feature a G13 base. This series is available in a range of colours from 2700 K all the way through to 8000 K.

They feature proven lamp technology and are an economical and efficient solution.

Fluorescent tubes give off a brighter light than halogen bulbs. They have low running costs and a long lifespan so no need to worry about replacements making them suitable for a number of applications. When choosing a fluorescent tube the number of lumens (Im) is important as the higher the number of lumens the brighter the bulb will be.

Fluorescent tubes contain mercury so you most dispose of these tubes safely as per regulation.

• Lumilux T8 fluorescent tubes are dimmable, making them more versatile as you can install them in dimmable luminaires. This gives you greater control over the light in your environment.
• This series utilises top quality three band phosphor.
• T8 fluorescent lamps provide good lumen maintenance (90% for the lifespan of the lamp) and have good colour rendering.
• They have an excellent service life of up to 18,000 hours (depending on the model).

Fluorescent tubes and lamps have always been popular in the workplace and at home as they are both cost effective and energy efficient. Typical applications include office lighting, shops, supermarkets and factories. Lumilux T8 lamps can be used in some outdoor applications, but this is dependent on the luminaire being used.

FAQ:
Which colour temperature to pick?
Fluorescent tubes are available in a variety of colour temperatures which describes the light appearance provided by a light source. It is measured in degrees of kelvin (k) on a scale from 1,000 to 10,000:
2700 – warm white – ideal where relaxing and ambience lighting is needed
4000K – cool white – lighting ideal for a kitchen
+6000K – daylight – very sharp, lighting ideal for a working environment

Which cap size?
You need to have the correct cap size:
2Gx13 (U-shaped)
G13 (T8 and T12)
G5 (T5)

L15830 is a 15 watt fluorescent tube. It features a warm white colour and has a colour temperature rating of 3000K. This fluorescent lamp creates luminous flux of 950 Ims.
This fluorescent tube meets EU energy efficiency class A and has energy consumption of 36 kWh/1000h and a lifespan of 20,000 hours.

Fluorescent Triphosphor

Triphosphor tubes have longer life, a lower mercury content, better colour rendering and higher lumen maintenance than their Halophosphate counterparts. The tubes are available in a variety of colour temperatures from 3000K (warm white) to 6000K (daylight).

• Extended life expectancy which can be increased by upto 20,000 hours with the use of high frequency luminaires.
• Shatter resistant versions available which retain the fragments in the event of a breakage.
• Option of triphosphor tubes with internal reflectors, which reduce waste light and increase light output by up to 75%.
• 16mm (T5) tubes provide a compact alternative to T8 tubes, offering peak performance at +35 °C and typically provide 5% more efficiency in most ceiling applications when compared to equivalent T8 tubes.

Nominal tube diameter - T5=16mm, T8=26mm, T9=29mm, T12=38mm
