- Will these fit my existing fixture?
- They fit fixtures that take 15W T8 tubes with medium bi-pin (G13) bases. Check the old tube's length and base type before ordering.
- Can I use these in a dimmer?
- No. Standard fluorescent tubes like these are not dimmable on ordinary dimmers and need a compatible ballast.
- How do they compare with LED tubes?
- LED tubes use less power per lumen and last longer. These fluorescents are a cheaper drop-in for fixtures already wired for T8 tubes.
- What color is the light?
- 6250K is a cool daylight white, slightly blue. It suits workshops and task lighting more than living rooms.
- How should I dispose of them?
- Fluorescent tubes contain a small amount of mercury. Take spent tubes to a local hazardous-waste or recycling point rather than the regular trash.
- Where is the Philips Fluorescent Tubular Lamp 15 Watts T8 Medium Bi-Pin Base 25-Pack cheapest?
- At Msc Industrial Supply, for $371.00, as of our latest check.
