ADL Supply Expert Application & Replacement Guide

The Super 80 family is designed to give improved efficacy, better color rendering and lower mercury content than standard-color TL-D lamps. Philips rates this lamp at 75 lumens per watt, and the 3000K warm white color suits occupied commercial and institutional interiors such as offices, schools and retail stores.

The lamp is dimmable when paired with a compatible fluorescent dimming ballast and controls. It can operate on properly matched conventional or electronic control gear, with electronic systems typically giving better system efficiency. Actual life varies with the starting method, switching cycle and fixture temperature.

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

Verify the ballast is designed for an 18W T8/TL-D fluorescent lamp and for the intended starting method. The lamp operates at a nominal 59V and 0.360A through compatible control gear; it must never be connected directly to line voltage.

Dimming requires a compatible fluorescent dimming ballast and control system.

Before You Order – Verify

• Confirm the product: TL-D 18W/830 1SL/25, Philips order code 927980283053.
• Color code: this lamp is 830 (3000K warm white). It is not an 827 lamp.
• Confirm the fixture uses G13 medium bi-pin sockets, and that the fixture takes a lamp with a maximum overall length of 604 mm and a maximum bulb diameter of 28 mm.
• Confirm the ballast is rated for an 18W T8/TL-D lamp and the starting method you use.
• Do not substitute by length alone: other T8 lamps may use different wattages, electrical characteristics, color codes and ballast requirements.
