Running at 4,100 Kelvin, it produces a cool white light output of 2,450 lumens with a Color Rendering Index of 82, making it well suited for overhead fixtures in offices, retail spaces, and light industrial settings. The lamp operates on a dimming ballast and carries an 18,000-hour rated life, reducing replacement frequency in high-use installations. The bulb finish is white, and the overall maximum length is 22.5 inches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis lamp is designed for U-bend fluorescent fixtures that accept T12 lamps with a 6-inch leg spacing. Typical install scenarios include 2x2 and 2x4 recessed troffers, wraparound strip fixtures, and industrial bay fixtures configured for U-type lamps. The 40-watt draw and cool white color temperature make it a common specification in commercial drop-ceiling grids. Dimming capability requires a compatible dimming ballast already installed in the fixture. The lamp is individually bar coded and sold in a box of 12 units per package.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e40-watt T12 U-bend configuration with 6-inch leg spacing fits standard U-lamp troffers\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2,450 lumens output at 4,100K cool white color temperature\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCRI of 82 for accurate color rendering in commercial environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDimmable with a compatible dimming ballast\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e18,000-hour rated life reduces maintenance intervals\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e22.5-inch maximum overall length\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for U-bend fluorescent fixtures that accept T12 lamps with a 6-inch leg spacing and are equipped with a compatible 40-watt dimming ballast.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a qualified electrician or lighting maintenance technician.
