Tips

To ensure a safe, correct, and long-lasting installation of your T5 Opal Fluorescent Tube G5 4000K, please review the following critical expert recommendations.

• CRITICAL: Requires Electronic Ballast: T5 fluorescent tubes are designed to work exclusively with high-frequency electronic ballasts. They are not compatible with the older magnetic ballasts and starters found in many T8 or T12 fixtures.
• CRITICAL: Match Wattage to Ballast: It is absolutely essential that the wattage of the tube (e.g., 28W) perfectly matches the wattage rating of the electronic ballast in the light fitting. Using a mismatched tube and ballast will lead to immediate or rapid failure of both components and can pose a safety hazard.
• Verify Length Before Purchase: T5 tubes have very specific lengths tied to their wattage (e.g., a 28W HE tube is 1163mm long). Always measure your old tube or the fixture itself to ensure you are purchasing the correct replacement.
• Safe Handling and Disposal: Fluorescent tubes contain a small amount of mercury. Handle them with care to avoid breakage. When a tube reaches the end of its life, it must be disposed of as hazardous waste according to your local municipal regulations, not in general trash.
• Non-Dimmable Use: These tubes are not dimmable and must be used on a standard switched circuit. Do not install in fittings controlled by a dimmer.
