These T5 fluorescent tubes have an average lifespan of up to 10,000 hours when used with Quicktronic ECGs.

Osram T5 fluorescent lamps offer decoration and illumination in a cost efficient package. They provide excellent luminous flux maintenance throughout their entire lifespan, meaning that the bulb will not become dimmer with repeated use.

The compact size and length of these fluorescent tubes enables them to be used in applications where space is at a premium. Example applications include:
• Stairwells
• Corridors
• Furniture
• Mirrors
• Bathroom Lighting
• Emergency lighting systems

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)

4050300008899 is a 6 watt fluorescent tube. It is a cool white colour and has a colour temperature rating of 4000 K. This fluorescent lamp creates luminous flux of 230 lumens (lm) and has a colour rendering index of 60.

This fluorescent tube meets EU energy efficiency Class A requirements and has energy consumption of 7 kWh/1000h.

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
