Product Overview
The Sylvania 21034 is a SAFELINE T5 lamp: a 28W T5 miniature bi-pin lamp with a non-shattering covering that contains glass and other lamp components if the lamp breaks. It is rated at 25,000 hours average life on 3-hour starts (30,000 hours on 12-hour starts) on programmed rapid start (PRS) ballasts, with 3500K color temperature and 85 CRI.
The catalog gives 2,550 initial lumens at 25°C/77°F (mean 2,370). The SAFELINE covering must stay intact; if it is damaged the lamp must be replaced to remain compliant. SAFELINE lamps are intended for indoor use only, in ambient temperatures below 135°F, and the coating is designed to withstand constant operating temperatures up to 239°F.
