Our take on the Philips T12 72" 56W 4100K Fluorescent Tube

The Philips F72T12/CW/ALTO is a 72-inch T12 fluorescent tube rated at 56 watts with a single-pin Fa8 base. It produces cool white light at 4100K and is a Slimline lamp, meaning it runs on a magnetic ballast without a separate starter. It suits owners of long, single-pin fixtures such as older shop, garage and industrial strip lights. Against LED retrofits it is the simpler like-for-like replacement: no rewiring, but it uses more power and lasts fewer hours than an LED tube.

Questions and answers

Will this fit my fixture?
It fits fixtures that take a 72-inch T12 tube with a single-pin Fa8 base in a Slimline circuit. Check the old tube's length and base before ordering.
Does it need a starter?
No. Slimline lamps run on a magnetic ballast without a separate starter.
What color is the light?
4100K cool white, a neutral white that suits garages, workshops and utility rooms.
Can I replace a fluorescent tube with LED instead?
