F32T8/835 - 32 Watt 48 Inch T8 Fluorescent Light Bulb - 3500K Neutral White - 3050 Lumens - 24,000 Hours

Balanced Neutral White Light 

This 32-Watt F32T8 fluorescent tube emits 3,050 lumens at 3500 Kelvin, providing a neutral white light that balances warmth and clarity. Ideal for offices, schools, retail spaces, and healthcare environments, this tube offers a comfortable yet focused illumination suitable for general and task lighting applications. 

Designed for Long-Lasting Performance 

✔ Cathode Guard Shield – Prevents end blackening, ensuring consistent brightness over time. 

✔ Double Tungsten Cathodes – Enhances durability for an extended lifespan. 

✔ Improved Phosphor Coating – Ensures the bulb starts brighter and stays brighter. 

✔ Eco-Friendly Mercury Capsule – Uses 70% less mercury, making disposal safer and more environmentally friendly. 

Requires a Ballast to Operate 

Like all T8 fluorescent tubes, this bulb depends on an external ballast. Ballast failures can cause flickering, slow start-up times, and costly maintenance, making long-term upkeep a challenge. 

F32T8 Fluorescent Tubes Were an Upgrade to the F40T12—But LEDs Are Even Better 

While fluorescent lighting has been a trusted solution for years, LED technology offers a more energy-efficient, longer-lasting alternative. Upgrading to LED provides: 

✔ Up to 86% Energy Savings – Reduce electricity costs significantly. 

✔ Better Light Quality – More consistent, flicker-free illumination. 

✔ Longer Lifespan – LEDs last 5-10 times longer, cutting down on replacements. 

✔ Instant-On Performance – No warm-up time, just full brightness immediately. 

✔ Mercury-Free Lighting – Safer for the environment and easier to dispose of. 

✔ No More Ballast Failures – Many LED retrofits allow you to eliminate the ballast, reducing long-term maintenance issues. 

LED Retrofit Options – A Smarter Lighting Choice 

Making the switch is simple with LED replacements available in three styles: 

🔹 Plug & Play LED (Type A) – Works with existing T8 electronic ballasts for an easy, no-rewire swap. 

🔹 Ballast Bypass LED (Type B) – Connects directly to line voltage, eliminating the need for a ballast and reducing maintenance costs. 

🔹 Hybrid LED (Type A+B) – Works with or without a ballast, giving you flexibility now and the option to bypass the ballast when it fails.
