Highlights Extra warm white light Suitable for fixtures with conventional or electronic ballast Easy installation Long lifespan Bonus: Save more energy this way Extra warm white light This Philips TL-D fluorescent tube gives out an extra warm white (colour temperature: 2700K). This type of lighting is suitable for creating a relaxed and cozy atmosphere, especially embraced by the hospitality industry.  Suitable for fixtures with conventional or electronic ballast Fluorescent tubes require a ballast and fixtures either have a conventional (electromagnetic) one or an electronic one. If your fixture doesn't have a starter, then it has an electronic ballast. No matter what type of fixture you have, this fluorescent tube works with both. Easy installation This type of tube is a T8 type, which is a popular and very common type of tube lighting. Switching your light tubes from old to new is quick and easy. Rotate the old tube 90° in your fixture, take it off, replace it with your new Philips TL-D and lock it in through reverse rotation of 90°. Remember that your old fluorescent light tube contains harmful substances to the environment. Extra attention must be put into the correct disposal of your old lights. If you are interested in environmentally healthy options that are installed in precisely the same manner, we warmly recommend you to consider switching to LED tubes. Long lifespan The lifespan of this fluorescent tube makes it an attractive buy, as it offers an average of 20.000 hours of light. Unlike what notoriously happens to the light quality of fluorescent tubes as time goes by, this tube maintains its quality throughout. Bonus: Save more energy this way Would you like to save more energy with your new TL-D light? We offer several LED alternatives for this light too, since fluorescent light takes a much bigger toll on the environment than LED.
