G E Lighting 37156 Led T8 Linear Tube 8W 5000K 6 Pack

Product Description

The G E LIGHTING 37156 is an 8-watt LED T8 linear tube designed as a direct energy-saving replacement for 20-watt fluorescent lamps. It delivers 800 lumens at a 5,000 Kelvin daylight color temperature, making it well suited for task-intensive environments where accurate color rendering matters. The tube carries a CRI of 80 and is rated for 36,000 hours of service life, which works out to approximately 32.9 years at typical usage rates. Construction is glass with a sleeved design and a standard bi-Pin base. It is non-dimmable and operates on approved electronic ballasts. Each package contains 6 lamps.

This tube is a practical retrofit choice for commercial, industrial, and institutional lighting applications where fluorescent T8 fixtures are already installed. The 5,000K daylight output is commonly specified in warehouses, workshops, retail spaces, and office environments that benefit from cool, high-clarity light. Licensed electricians and lighting contractors typically handle bulk retrofits, while facility maintenance staff often handle individual lamp replacements in existing ballast-driven fixtures. The sleeved construction adds a layer of protection if the tube is ever broken during handling or service.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with the NEC and applicable local codes. Always de-energize the fixture at the circuit breaker before handling any lamp or ballast connections. Confirm the existing ballast is an approved electronic type rated for LED tube operation before installing. Do not attempt to use this lamp in a dimmed circuit or with a magnetic ballast, as the lamp is non-dimmable and not rated for those configurations.
