Linear Fluorescent Lamp · 8W T5 · 4100K Cool White · G5 Miniature Bi-Pin · STANDARD F8T5/CW/PH/G5/STD
8W T5 linear fluorescent lamp with 4100K cool white output, G5 miniature bi-pin base, and approximately 420 lumens for compact preheat fixtures. Commonly used in undercabinet, display, appliance, and maintenance replacement applications where a 12 in lamp length is required.
What this product is for
This 8W T5 linear fluorescent lamp is used to replace short 12 in (305 mm) preheat fluorescent lamps in compatible fixtures. It provides a cool white 4100K light for task, utility, display, and light commercial applications.
Use for
Use for maintenance replacement in fixtures designed for F8T5 preheat lamps with a G5 miniature bi-pin base. Common applications include display cases, signs, appliance lighting, compact utility fixtures, and older undercabinet or commercial luminaires that require a 12 in (305 mm) T5 lamp.
Avoid for
Avoid using this lamp in fixtures that require a different lamp length, different wattage, different starting method, or LED retrofit tubes. Do not assume compatibility with instant-start or programmed-start systems unless the fixture documentation confirms it.
Best for
Best for electricians and maintenance teams replacing an existing F8T5 cool white lamp where lamp length, base type, and colour temperature need to match the installed fixture. The 4100K colour temperature is typically chosen for neutral white light in work areas and utility spaces.
Installed in
Typically installed in compact fluorescent fixtures using a G5 miniature bi-pin socket and a preheat starting system. Always verify fixture label, ballast or starter arrangement, and required lamp designation before ordering.
Why this product exists
This lamp provides a direct replacement for legacy short T5 fluorescent systems still in service. It helps keep existing fixtures operating without changing sockets or replacing the luminaire.
Compared with similar products
Compared with longer T5 lamps, this 8W version is intended for compact fixtures and lower light output applications. Compared with LED retrofit options, it is selected when the existing fixture is designed around a fluorescent preheat lamp and a like-for-like replacement is preferred.
