PHILIPS 259895 - F16T8/CW/26

This product is not an LED lamp; it is a legacy NEMA Standard 18 Watt 26 Inch G13 Medium Bi-pin T8 Fluorescent Tube. Commonly used in appliances and under-cabinet lighting, this fluorescent tube delivers reliable performance. It provides between 1050 and 1275 lumens and emits a Cool White light, which is equivalent to 4000–4100 Kelvin. With a minimum rated life of 7500 hours, it ensures consistent lighting, although it requires a ballast to operate—please note that the ballast may also fail over time. Additionally, this tube contains mercury, so proper handling and disposal are essential when it burns out. While it is a dependable option for various applications, it is important to recognise that this fluorescent tube is no longer considered an energy-efficient choice.
