Our take on the Philips Fluorescent 20W Cool White Tube Light Bulbs

This is a two-pack of Philips 20W T12 fluorescent tubes, 24 inches long, with medium bi-pin G13 bases and a cool white light output. They are the standard linear tubes used in under-cabinet fixtures, shop lights, garage and utility strip lights, and older kitchen and basement fittings. Philips ALTO tubes are known for low mercury content and consistent color, and owners rate them well for brightness and fit. Against generic store-brand tubes they cost more but hold their color and output longer, which is why repeat buyers stay with them.

Questions and answers

Will these fit my existing fixture?
They fit fixtures that take 24-inch T12 tubes with medium bi-pin G13 sockets and a ballast rated for 20W tubes. Check the old tube's length and base before ordering.
Do I need a special ballast?
Yes. These are standard fluorescent tubes and need a compatible magnetic or electronic ballast. They do not run on their own.
What color is the light?
Cool white, roughly in the 4000K range. It reads neutral to slightly blue and suits utility and task lighting more than warm living spaces.
Can I use them in a dimmer?
No. Standard fluorescent tubes are not dimmable unless the fixture and ballast are made for dimming.
How should I dispose of them?
Fluorescent tubes contain a small amount of mercury. Take spent tubes to a local hazardous-waste or recycling drop-off rather than the regular trash.
Where is the Philips Fluorescent 20W Cool White Tube Light Bulbs cheapest?
At Walmart, for $16.65, as of our latest check.
What do buyers say about the Philips Fluorescent 20W Cool White Tube Light Bulbs?
Rated 4.5 out of 5 from 21 ratings.
