Product Overview
The Sylvania F8T5/D is a standard-output T5 fluorescent lamp for commercial, retail, office, and maintenance applications. The 6500K daylight color temperature provides a crisp, neutral-to-cool light appearance suited for task environments, display lighting, and spaces where a clean, bright appearance is preferred over warm white.
The G5 miniature bi-pin base is specific to T5 lamps — it is not interchangeable with T8 (G13) or T12 bi-pin sockets. Confirm your fixture uses a G5 socket and standard-output T5 ballast before ordering. Match the exact wattage, lamp family, and color temperature to your existing lamp to ensure compatibility.
