Fluorescents: The Workhorses of Linear Illumination
Fluorescent lamps, often referred to as linear fluorescents, discharge lamps, or tube lights, are a cornerstone of commercial and industrial lighting. These low-pressure mercury-vapor gas-discharge lamps produce visible light through fluorescence, offering high luminous efficacy compared to incandescent sources. Key technical parameters include tube diameter (T5, T8, T12), length (from 2 to 8 feet), color temperature (Kelvin), color rendering index (CRI), and wattage. They require a ballast (electronic or magnetic) for starting and current regulation, and are available in various base types (G5, G13). Modern T5 and T8 high-efficiency variants dominate the market, offering longer life and better energy performance.
These lamps are ubiquitous in environments demanding uniform, shadow-free illumination over large areas. Typical applications include industrial warehouses, manufacturing floors, parking garages, office open-plan spaces, retail stores, schools, and hospitals. They are installed in recessed troffers, surface-mounted strip fixtures, or suspended linear systems, often integrated with occupancy sensors or daylight harvesting controls for energy savings.
Our catalog includes a comprehensive range of linear fluorescent tubes, from standard T8 4-foot (1200mm) lamps to high-output T5HO and T5VHO variants for high-bay applications. Key article codes follow a pattern like FLU-T8-36W-840-G13, where FLU indicates fluorescent, T8 the tube diameter, 36W the wattage, 840 the color code (80 CRI, 4000K), and G13 the base type. We also stock compact fluorescents (CFLs) with G24 or 2G11 bases, and U-bent tubes for specific fixtures.
