ADL Supply Expert Application & Replacement Guide
This 25W lamp is offered by Philips as an energy-saving alternative to standard 32W T8 U-bend lamps; the previous listing cites over 20% lower power use. The U-shaped tube is made for 2x2 troffers and surface-mount fixtures that cannot take a 4-foot straight tube.
It is used in offices, retail stores, healthcare and educational facilities where a neutral 3500K light and 85 CRI are wanted. Leg spacing is 6 inches, so the lamp only fits fixtures built for that spacing.
T8 lamps have a 1-inch (26 mm) tube. T8 and T12 lamps share the same G13 base, so the base alone will not tell you which type your fixture uses; match the wattage, length and lamp code printed on the end of the lamp you are replacing.

Ballast & Fixture Compatibility
The previous listing states this lamp must be used with a compatible T8 electronic ballast, in fixtures with rapid-start or instant-start electronic ballasts. Using this energy-saving lamp on an incompatible ballast may cause flickering or shortened lamp life. Confirm the ballast is rated for a 25W T8 U-bend lamp.
Before You Order – Verify
- Confirm the leg spacing is 6 inches; U-bend lamps are made in other leg spacings that do not interchange.
- Confirm the fixture uses G13 medium bi-pin sockets and takes a 22.44-inch U-bend lamp.
- Confirm the ballast is an electronic T8 type rated for a 25W lamp.
- Confirm 3500K matches the lamps already installed before partial re-lamping.
