ADL Supply Expert Application & Replacement Guide
This is a High Output T8, not a standard T8. It produces more light than a standard 32W T8 from the same 72 in of tube, which can reduce the number of lamps needed to reach a target light level in high-output commercial and industrial fixtures.
Philips ALTO technology applies its lowest-level mercury design at the manufacturing stage, and the trichromatic phosphors are listed for improved lumen maintenance. The previous listing also cites an efficacy of over 95 lumens per watt and a longer life than standard fluorescent lamps.
The R17d recessed double-contact base is different from the G13 bi-pin base on regular T8 lamps, so the two types do not interchange without changing the lampholders.

Ballast & Fixture Compatibility
A lamp of this type needs a ballast rated for T8 High Output operation. A standard 32W T8 ballast will not drive it correctly. Confirm the ballast and fixture are rated for 65W T8HO lamps before ordering.
Before You Order – Verify
- Confirm the fixture uses R17d recessed double-contact lampholders (not G13 bi-pin).
- Confirm the ballast is rated for 65W T8 High Output lamps.
- Confirm the fixture accepts a 72 in lamp.
- Confirm 4100K matches the lamps already installed before partial re-lamping.
