Product Overview

The Sylvania FBO32/741/ECO Octron Curvalume is a standard 6-inch leg spacing T8 U-bend lamp for 2×2 commercial troffers, providing T8 fluorescent performance in a compact U-shaped geometry. At 4100K cool white with CRI 75 and 2,750 initial lumens, this lamp delivers consistent, practical illumination for commercial office, retail, educational, and institutional environments.

Rated life ranges from 15,000 to 28,000 hours depending on the paired ballast — programmed start ballasts extend lamp life significantly over instant start in high-cycling applications. ECOLOGIC low-mercury design passes TCLP federal testing requirements, simplifying commercial lamp disposal compliance. The 741 color designation indicates 4100K with CRI 75, standard for commercial ambient lighting applications.
