Technical Specifications

Product Overview

The GE 16090 F32T8/SP50/ECO Ecolux Starcoat is a premium 4-foot T8 fluorescent lamp featuring GE's Starcoat phosphor technology, which delivers exceptionally high lumen maintenance over lamp life — 2,610 mean lumens vs. 2,750 initial is a 95% maintenance ratio, significantly better than standard T8 lamps. The 20,000-hour rated life is substantially longer than standard T8 lamps (typically 20,000 hours vs 12,000-15,000 for standard), reducing relamping frequency and maintenance costs in commercial installations.

At 5000K daylight with CRI 78, this lamp is well suited for environments where a bright, neutral appearance supports task performance and visual clarity — offices, retail, healthcare, and food service. The ECO designation confirms RoHS compliance.

Compatible Applications

• Office and commercial lighting — Standard 4-foot T8 troffers, strip fixtures, and wrap-around luminaires.
• Retail and restaurant lighting — Daylight 5000K output provides a clean, bright appearance for merchandise and food presentation environments.
• Healthcare lighting — Long lamp life and consistent output reduce maintenance frequency in healthcare facilities.
• Contractor and facility maintenance — 20,000-hour rated life minimizes relamping cycles in high-use commercial facilities.

Before Ordering — Verify

• Base Type: Confirm the fixture socket matches G13 Medium Bi-Pin.
• Wattage: Confirm the fixture and ballast are rated for 32W T8 operation.
• Length: Confirm 48" (4-foot) MOL fits your fixture.
• Color Temperature: Confirm 5000K daylight is appropriate for your application — if warm white or neutral white is preferred, other CCT options are available.
• Ballast Compatibility: Confirm your fixture's ballast is compatible with F32T8 operation.

Safety and Handling Guidelines
