Philips TL-D 18W/830 1SL/25 – 18W T8 Fluorescent Lamp | 3000K Warm White | CRI 83 | G13 | 13,000 Hours

The Philips TL-D 18W/830 1SL/25 is an 18W T8 linear fluorescent lamp from the TL-D LIFEMAX Super 80 family, designed to provide improved efficacy, better color rendering, and lower mercury content than standard-color TL-D lamps. It produces 3000K warm white illumination with a CRI of 83 and uses a standard G13 medium bi-pin base. The lamp operates at a nominal 59V and 0.360A, is dimmable with compatible fluorescent control gear, and has a 13,000-hour nominal life to 50% failures. Please verify lamp length, G13 socket, ballast compatibility, color code, and operating system before ordering.

Technical Specifications

Key Features & Benefits

• Super 80 fluorescent technology provides improved color rendering compared with standard-color TL-D lamps.
• Rated luminous efficacy of 75 lumens per watt supports efficient general-lighting systems.
• 3000K warm white illumination is well suited to occupied commercial and institutional interiors.
• Low 2.0 mg mercury content compared with many conventional fluorescent lamp designs.
• Compatible with existing TL-D luminaires when the ballast, lamp length, wattage, and starting method are correctly matched.
• Dimmable when paired with an appropriate fluorescent dimming ballast and compatible controls.
• High lumen maintenance supports consistent illumination over the lamp’s service life.

Product Overview

The Philips TL-D LIFEMAX Super 80 18W/830 is a linear T8 fluorescent lamp designed for general commercial and institutional lighting. It combines 3000K warm white color with a CRI of 83, providing a comfortable appearance and improved color rendering compared with standard-color fluorescent lamps.

The lamp uses a G13 medium bi-pin base and is designed for compatible TL-D fluorescent luminaires. It may be operated with properly matched conventional electromagnetic or electronic control gear, with electronic systems typically providing improved system efficiency. Dimming is possible only when the fixture uses a compatible fluorescent dimming ballast.

The Philips lifetime charts show that lamp life varies according to the starting method and operating cycle. Preheat operation and longer switching cycles may provide different survival performance than non-preheat or electromagnetic systems. Fixture ballast type and operating pattern should therefore be considered when estimating maintenance intervals.

Compatible Applications

• Schools and educational facilities

Before Ordering – Verify

• Product identification: Confirm the required product is TL-D 18W/830 1SL/25 with order code 927980283053.
• Color code: This lamp is 830 / 3000K warm white. It is not an 827 lamp.
• Base: Confirm the fixture uses G13 medium bi-pin sockets.
• Ballast compatibility: Verify the ballast is designed for an 18W T8/TL-D fluorescent lamp and the intended starting method.
• Electrical requirements: The lamp operates at a nominal 59V and 0.360A through compatible fluorescent control gear; it must not be connected directly to line voltage.
• Dimensions: Confirm a maximum overall length of 604 mm and a maximum bulb diameter of 28 mm.
• Dimming: Dimming requires a compatible fluorescent dimming ballast and control system.
• Rated-life conditions: Actual service life varies with switching cycle, starting method, ballast type, fixture temperature, and operating conditions.
• Do not substitute by length alone: Other T8 lamps may use different wattages, lengths, electrical characteristics, color codes, and ballast requirements.

Safety and Handling Guidelines

• Disconnect electrical power before inspecting, installing, or removing the lamp.
• Install only in a fixture with compatible G13 sockets and ballast equipment rated for an 18W TL-D fluorescent lamp.
• Do not connect the lamp directly to line voltage.
• Insert both sets of pins evenly and rotate the lamp only as required by the fixture socket design.
• Handle the lamp carefully and avoid excessive force that could crack or break the glass tube.
• Do not install a lamp that is cracked, damaged, or improperly seated.
• Follow the fixture and ballast manufacturer’s installation, operating, and dimming instructions.

Compliance & Environmental Information
