Our take on the Philips T12 72" 85W 4100K Fluorescent Tube

This is a Philips 85-watt T12 fluorescent tube, 72 inches long, with a recessed double contact (R17d) base and a 4,100K cool white color. It is a high-output lamp built for long commercial fixtures, and the ALTO designation means it is a low-mercury tube. It suits owners of 6-foot high-output fixtures who need a bright, neutral-white tube, and it is a straightforward replacement rather than a retrofit to LED.
