G E Lighting 33890 32W Circline Fluorescent Tube 12 Inch

Product Description

The G E LIGHTING 33890 is a 32-watt T9 circline fluorescent tube designed for ceiling-mounted and portable fixtures that accept a circular lamp format. Running at 32 watts, this tube produces 1,950 lumens in a Cool White color tone rated at 4,150 Kelvin, making it a practical choice for general-purpose ambient lighting in commercial and residential applications. The 4-pin base ensures a secure, low-voltage connection to compatible ballasts, and the tube carries a rated service life of 12,000 hours. Electricians and lighting maintenance technicians typically handle installation in suspended fixtures, kitchen ceiling lights, and utility spaces.

This circline tube is suited for residential kitchens, laundry rooms, offices, and light commercial spaces where a circular fluorescent fixture is already in place. The 12-inch outer diameter is the standard size for FC12T9-style lamps. The Cool White output at 4,150 Kelvin provides a neutral-to-slightly-cool white light that works well for task and general illumination. The Color Rendering Index of 62 is adequate for utility and ambient lighting where accurate color rendering is not a primary requirement.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician or lighting technician following applicable NEC guidelines. De-energize the fixture completely before removing the old lamp or accessing the ballast. Confirm the existing ballast is rated for a 32-watt T9 circline lamp before installing this tube. Handle the tube carefully to avoid stress on the 4-pin base pins during insertion.
