G E Lighting 15986 Fluorescent Bulb 6W 9in Cool White

Product Description

The G E LIGHTING 15986 is a 6-watt T5 linear fluorescent lamp rated at 295 lumens with a color temperature of 4150 Kelvin, placing it firmly in the cool white range. At 9 inches in length and 5/8 inch in diameter, this compact lamp fits equipment and fixtures that require a miniature bi-pin base. With a rated life of 7,500 hours and a CRI of 62, it is well suited for task and utility lighting applications where consistent, neutral-toned output is the priority. Licensed electricians and lighting technicians are the typical installers, though the miniature bi-pin format is also common in commercial appliance and display fixture service.

This lamp is used in residential and light commercial settings wherever a compact T5 fluorescent source is specified. Common applications include under-cabinet lighting, display cases, appliance lighting, and small fixture retrofits that call for a 6-watt cool white source. The miniature bi-pin base is a standard format across a range of low-profile fluorescent fixtures. It ships in a package quantity of 10 units per carton, carded for individual retail or trade counter sale.
