The Philips 282046 F32T8/ADV830/XEW 25W 3000K T8 is a 25W 3000K Warm White T8 linear fluorescent lamp, 48 inches long, with a G13 medium bi-pin base. It uses 7 watts less than a standard 32W T8.

ADL Supply Expert Application & Replacement Guide

This 25W lamp is part of the Philips Energy Advantage T8 line, which is designed for applications that need maximum energy savings. Philips states that it saves 7 watts per lamp compared with a standard 32W T8, and up to $31 in energy cost over the rated life of the 25W XEW lamp (based on 7W, 44,000 hours and $0.10 per kWh). Philips positions the 3000K warm white color for warm-white spaces such as hospitality and retail.

Philips states that the lamp operates on any instant-start or programmed-start ballast, so it can be used on the same ballast as a standard 32W T8. Starting voltage should be 550V or higher, and the lamp is not recommended where the temperature in the fixture is below 70°F. ALTO II lamps contain only 1.7 mg of mercury and are TCLP compliant, which can simplify and reduce lamp disposal costs depending on state and local regulations.

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.
