Our take on the Philips Silhouette Fluorescent Tubular Lamp: 24 Watts, T5, Miniature Bi-Pin Base 3,500 K Color Temp, 2,000 Lumens, 85 CRI, 20,000 hr Avg
The Philips Silhouette is a 24 W T5 tubular fluorescent lamp with a miniature bi-pin base. It produces 2,000 lumens at 3,500 K, a neutral white that suits kitchens, offices and retail spaces better than the cooler 4,000–6,500 K lamps common in the same format. Its 85 CRI is high for a fluorescent tube, so colors read more naturally than under standard 80 CRI lamps. Rated average life is 20,000 hours, in line with other branded T5 tubes; the main trade-off is that it is fluorescent, not LED, so it needs a compatible ballast and contains mercury.
- High 85 CRI for a fluorescent tube
- Neutral 3,500 K light, warmer than typical T5 office tubes
- 2,000 lumens from a slim 24 W tube
- 20,000-hour rated average life
- Dimmable with compatible ballasts

Questions and answers
- Will this fit my existing T5 fixture?
- It is a 24 W T5 tube with a miniature bi-pin base, so it fits fixtures and ballasts made for that format. Check your fixture's wattage and base before swapping.
- Is 3,500 K warm or cool?
- It is neutral white, between warm household light and cool office light. It reads slightly warmer than the 4,000 K and 6,500 K tubes often fitted in commercial ceilings.
- Can I dim it?
- The lamp is dimmable, but dimming only works with a compatible dimming ballast. A standard ballast will run it at full output only.
- How does it compare with an LED tube?
- It matches LED tubes on color quality at 85 CRI and is cheaper to buy, but LEDs use less power and last longer. Choose this if your fixture already takes T5 fluorescents.
- What is the color rendering like?
- 85 CRI is high for a fluorescent tube, so skin tones, fabrics and product displays look closer to daylight than under standard 80 CRI lamps.
- Does it contain mercury?
- Yes, it is a fluorescent lamp and contains a small amount of mercury. Recycle it at a lamp collection point rather than putting it in household waste.
