Our take on the Philips T8 48" 44W 4100K Fluorescent Tube

This is a Philips 48-inch T8 linear fluorescent tube rated 44 watts, high output, in a 4,100K cool white color. It uses a recessed double contact R17d base and the 800 Series phosphor, which gives a CRI in the low 80s. ALTO low-mercury construction is the main differentiator from older tubes. It suits commercial troffers, shop and garage fixtures, and anyone replacing a high-output T8 in a fixture built for R17d sockets. Compared with standard 32W T8 tubes it runs hotter and brighter, so it only fits ballasts and sockets rated for high output.

Questions and answers

Will this fit a normal T8 fixture?
Only if the fixture has recessed double contact R17d sockets and a ballast rated for 44W high-output T8 lamps. Standard bi-pin T8 fixtures will not accept it.
What color is the light?
4,100K cool white, a neutral-to-cool tone common in offices, shops and garages. It is not a warm household white.
Is it dimmable?
Dimmability depends on the ballast, not the tube. Most standard high-output ballasts for this lamp are not dimming types, so check the ballast before assuming it dims.
How does it compare with a 32W T8 tube?
It draws more power and produces more light, and it needs high-output-rated ballasts and sockets. A 32W tube will not work correctly in a fixture built for this lamp, and vice versa.
Does it contain mercury?
Yes, as a fluorescent lamp it contains mercury, though the ALTO design reduces the amount. Dispose of it through a lamp recycling program rather than household trash.
