Appleton 2263 Fluorescent Light Shield 8 Foot T12

Product Description

The APPLETON 2263 is a plastic fluorescent lamp shield designed to protect T12 fluorescent tubes in 8-foot fixture applications. It fits over the lamp to contain fragments in the event of tube breakage, reducing contamination risk in sensitive environments. Licensed electricians and facility maintenance technicians install this shield as part of lamp containment programs in commercial and industrial settings. The clear plastic construction allows light transmission while providing a physical barrier around the lamp.

This shield is suited for 8-foot T12 fluorescent fixtures found in commercial buildings, warehouses, food processing facilities, and other occupancies where lamp fragment containment is required by code or facility safety standards. It is commonly installed as part of a workplace hazard control program or to meet local health and safety regulations governing exposed fluorescent lamps in overhead fixtures.
