Compatibility & Replacement

Fixture type: Designed for U-shaped T8 fixtures with 6-inch leg spacing using a G13 Medium Bi-Pin base.

Ballast: Use a ballast designed to operate T8 lamps (instant start, rapid start, or programmed rapid start electronic, or 265 mA magnetic rapid start). Always confirm the existing ballast label before ordering.

Starting temperature: Minimum starting temperature is a function of the ballast; consult the ballast manufacturer.

Sylvania catalog notes for this lamp:

• OCTRON lamps should be operated only with magnetic rapid start ballasts designed to operate 265 mA T8 lamps, or with high frequency (electronic) ballasts that are instant start, rapid start, or programmed rapid start and specifically designed to operate T8 lamps. They may be operated on instant start ballasts with ballast factors from 0.71 to 1.20 at the nominal ballast input voltage. In instant start mode, the two wires or contacts of each socket should be connected to each other and then to the ballast lead wire using National Electric Code techniques.
• Approximate length of OCTRON CURVALUME lamps is measured from the base face to the outside of the glass bend.
• Recommended for use on any F32 T8 instant start circuit. Not recommended with rapid start circuits unless the open circuit voltage is greater than 550V, at lamp ambient temperatures below 60°F or in drafty locations, on dimming ballasts, or on inverter-operated emergency lighting systems unless that equipment is specifically listed for use with the OCTRON SUPERSAVER 27, 28, 29 or 30 watt U-bent T8 lamp. Any of these situations could result in lamp starting and stabilization problems.

Before ordering, confirm:

• Existing lamp model matches FBO30/835/XP/6/SS/ECO or an approved equivalent.
• Fixture socket matches G13 Medium Bi-Pin and the leg spacing is 6 inches.
• Wattage is 30W and the ballast is compatible.
• Color temperature is 3500K.
• Physical size is 22.5 in nominal length (22.6 in MOL) x 1 in diameter.
