With a high 20,000-hour rated average life, it offers long-term reliability for installations where maintenance access may be limited. Whether used for festive displays, garden lighting, or creative backlighting, this green T8 lamp provides consistent, high-impact color without the need for external filters or gels.

Product Overview

The Philips Color 17 Green T8 utilizes specialized phosphors to emit a concentrated green wavelength, ideal for creating mood and atmosphere. Unlike standard white lamps with colored sleeves, the color is generated directly within the tube for better efficiency and light distribution. This lamp is frequently utilized in entertainment venues, retail displays, and exterior architectural accents to draw attention or enhance branding. Its 26mm diameter (T8) ensures compatibility with a vast range of standard waterproof and decorative luminaires, providing a simple yet effective way to transform a space through color.
