FAQ
-
Will this fit my fixture?
If your existing tube is a G13-base T8 tube around 1500mm (5ft), this is a direct swap.
-
Does this need a starter?
On conventional (magnetic) ballast fittings, yes; on electronic ballast, no separate starter is needed.
-
How is this different from the 36W 4ft tube?
This 58W tube is longer (1500mm vs 1200mm) and gives higher light output — check your fitting's length before switching between the two.
-
Which colour temperature should I choose?
830 for hospitality, 840 for general commercial use, 865 for task-focused industrial areas.
