Product Description

The G E LIGHTING 10183 is a 15-watt T12 fluorescent tube designed for general-purpose lighting in residential and light commercial applications. This cool white lamp operates at a correlated color temperature of 4150 Kelvin, producing a neutral, bright output suited to task-oriented spaces. The medium bi-pin base provides a secure, standard connection to compatible T12 fluorescent fixtures. With a rated service life of 9,000 hours, the 10183 is a reliable drop-in replacement for aging or failed T12 lamps in existing ballast-driven fixtures. It measures 18 inches in length with a 1.5-inch diameter envelope, fitting standard single-lamp and multi-lamp T12 housings. Licensed electricians and maintenance technicians are the primary installers for this lamp type.

This T12 fluorescent tube is used in residential kitchens, utility rooms, commercial display cases, shop lighting fixtures, and under-cabinet lighting systems that accept a medium bi-pin T12 lamp. The cool white 4150K color temperature renders colors at a CRI of 62, making it appropriate for general illumination where accurate color rendering is not the primary concern. It ships in a package quantity of six, making it practical for bulk replacement projects or stocking service vehicles.
