Product Overview
The Sylvania Octron® 800XV™ SUPERSAVER® Ecologic® 22449 (FO32/25W/835/XV/SS/ECO) Lamp is a commercial-grade, ultra-efficient energy-saving 4-foot linear fluorescent bulb engineered for corporate office layouts, institutional classrooms, healthcare facility corridors, and high-density retail troffers. Delivering 2,400 initial lumens of crisp 3500K neutral white illumination, this premium 25-watt tube utilizes an advanced rare-earth tri-phosphor lining to achieve an elite color rendering index of 83 CRI. Outfitted with standard G13 medium bi-pin bases and an ultra-low mercury fill weight, it provides an extended service life up to 40,000 hours when paired with approved high-frequency electronic control gear.

ADL Supply Expert Application & Replacement Guide
The Sylvania FO32/25W/835/XV/SS/ECO linear fluorescent tube is an established industry facility upkeep baseline specified universally across modern corporate offices, healthcare wings, institutional schools, and public distribution tracks. Utilizing a reduced-wattage 25W gas design profile on standard 32W T8 ballasts, this 800XV™ series module enables facility management divisions to instantly trim continuous electrical consumption metrics across large-scale architectural layouts without undertaking the high material and upfront installation expense of complete LED fixture replacements.
Critical Ballast Group Synchronization and Lampholder Electrical Routing: Property managers executing facility-wide re-lamping sweeps must evaluate host fixture socket frameworks prior to completion. This 25-watt linear tube is completely compatible with modern high-frequency electronic Instant Start and Programmed Rapid Start (PROStart) control ballasts managing standard 48-inch lines.
However, maintenance crews must enforce proper socket regulations: if wiring this tube into an Instant Start network, shunted lampholders are mandatory at all seating channels, requiring the left and right socket contacts to be bridged to direct the high open-circuit ignition voltage cleanly. Conversely, if connecting this lamp to a Programmed Start ballast layout, un-shunted lampholders are mandatory to keep the pin tracks isolated. This structural isolation enables low-voltage preheating paths to warm the filament cathodes safely before full gas ionization strikes. Reversing this configuration will short-circuit wire circuits or bypass filament conditioning, accelerating end-blackening and triggering sudden system failures.
| Verify Before Installing Standard 4-Foot T8 Casing — SUPERSAVER® Ballast Voltage Rule — Regional Shipping Restrictions This tube utilizes a standard 1.00" Inch wide T8 glass envelope shape spanning exactly 47.78" Inches from pin face to pin face. Because this is an energy-saving SUPERSAVER® krypton-gas blend tube, it requires a high-performance ballast with an open-circuit starting voltage of at least 550V RMS to cleanly strike the gas column. If exposed to heavy drafts or temperatures below 60°F (16°C), visual striation (rhythmic swirling light pulses running down the tube) may occur; raising ambient room temperatures will instantly stabilize the arc path. State Delivery Restrictions: Due to strict regional environmental and heavy-metal tracking regulations, this fluorescent product cannot be legally sold or shipped to residential or commercial destinations inside CA, CO, HI, ME, MN, OR, RI, or VT. |

Operation, Safety & Mounting Compliance
High-Frequency Electronic Signal Isolation
When retrofitted onto modern high-efficiency electronic ballasts (such as Sylvania Quicktronic networks), this lamp operates at frequencies exceeding 40 kHz, completely eliminating stroboscopic workplace eye fatigue and structural flickering loops common in old low-frequency magnetic systems. It incorporates an automated active surge insulation barrier that blocks standard utility switching transients and operational spikes from breaking down sensitive internal solid-state board capacitors.
Ecologic® Low-Mercury Dosing and Safe Bulk Recycling Protocols
Sylvania Ecologic® manufacturing standards certify that this linear tube utilizes an advanced tri-phosphor chemical composition combined with a tightly metered internal heavy-metal mercury fill dose (limited to 3.5 mg weight profile). This structural configuration allows spent modules to cleanly pass the strict Federal Toxic Characteristic Leaching Procedure (TCLP) test protocols per NEMA guidelines, preventing high-density environmental pollution. However, as an mercury-containing device, spent bulbs must be securely routed to certified regional commercial electronic waste processing repositories during facility maintenance sweeps rather than discharged into municipal solid landfills.
