Product Overview
![]()
The Philips F14T5/830/ALTO (Order Code 23077-1) is a 14W T5 HE (High Efficiency) linear fluorescent lamp engineered for commercial, institutional, and architectural T5 fluorescent fixture applications. Delivering approximately 1,200 initial lumens of 3000K warm white output at 85 CRI through a G5 miniature bi-pin base in a slim 5/8-inch diameter T5 envelope, this ALTO low-mercury lamp provides approximately 25,000 hours of rated service life on compatible programmed-start electronic ballasts — manufactured in Holland (Netherlands).

ADL Supply Expert Application & Replacement Guide
The Philips F14T5/830/ALTO is primarily specified by electrical contractors and facility maintenance teams for replacement in commercial and institutional T5 HE fluorescent fixture installations — office troffers, architectural cove lighting, retail display fixtures, and recessed T5 strip lighting — where 3000K warm white is the specified color temperature and the G5 T5 HE format is the installed platform. The G5 miniature bi-pin base uses 5mm pin spacing and is the standard base for all T5 linear fluorescent lamps — it is physically distinct from the G13 medium bi-pin used on T8 lamps and cannot be installed in T8 or T12 fixtures. This lamp requires a programmed-start electronic ballast specifically rated for T5 HE operation. Confirm the ballast is rated for 14W T5 HE (not T5 HO, which operates at higher current); T5 HE and T5 HO lamps share the same G5 base but have different ballast requirements and are not interchangeable on the same ballast. The ALTO designation confirms low-mercury phosphor construction for environmentally conscious facilities maintenance programs. Confirm 3000K warm white matches your installation color temperature before partial relamping.
Before You Order
| Verify Before Ordering Programmed-Start T5 HE Ballast Required | G5 Socket — Not T8 or T12 Compatible | Confirm 14W T5 HE vs T5 HO | State Shipping Restrictions Apply This lamp requires a programmed-start electronic ballast rated for 14W T5 HE. Confirm your fixture socket is G5 miniature bi-pin — this lamp will not fit T8 or T12 sockets. Confirm the ballast is rated for T5 HE (not T5 HO — different electrical parameters despite the same G5 base). Confirm 3000K warm white matches your installation. |

Operation, Safety & Mounting Compliance
T5 HE vs T5 HO, G5 Base & Programmed-Start Requirement
T5 HE (High Efficiency) and T5 HO (High Output) lamps share the same G5 miniature bi-pin base and similar tube lengths but operate at different currents — T5 HE ballasts and T5 HO ballasts are not interchangeable, and installing a T5 HE lamp on a T5 HO ballast (or vice versa) will result in incorrect lamp current, reduced lamp life, and potential ballast overload. Confirm the ballast specification sheet explicitly lists 14W T5 HE as a compatible lamp load. Programmed-start ballasts provide cathode preheating before arc ignition for extended lamp life; instant-start T5 ballasts are also available but will reduce rated lamp life compared to programmed-start operation.
Mercury Content & Disposal
This lamp contains mercury and must be recycled through a certified lamp recycling program in compliance with applicable federal, state, and local regulations — do not discard in standard municipal solid waste. This product cannot be shipped to CA, CO, HI, ME, MN, OR, RI, or VT.
