G E Lighting 37163 Led T8 Bulb 15W 3000K Warm White 2 Pack

Product Description

The G E LIGHTING 37163 is a 15-watt linear LED T8 light bulb sold in a 2-pack, designed as a direct energy-saving replacement for 32-watt T8 linear fluorescent lamps. The frosted T8 tube delivers 1,750 lumens of warm white light at 3,000 Kelvin with a CRI of 80, maintaining strong color rendering across commercial and residential applications. The bi-pin base seats directly into existing electronic T8 ballast fixtures, requiring no rewiring in most retrofit scenarios. Licensed electricians and lighting contractors are the primary installers for this lamp type in commercial retrofit projects.

This lamp is suited for suspended troffers, strip fixtures, and wraparound fixtures in offices, warehouses, retail spaces, schools, and light commercial facilities. The 48-inch maximum overall length (MOL) matches standard 4-foot fixture bays. With a rated life of 36,000 hours and an estimated service life of 16 years at typical use, it reduces relamping frequency significantly compared to conventional fluorescent sources. The lamp is dimmable when paired with a compatible dimming ballast or driver.

Compatibility

Designed to work with existing electronic T8 ballasts. Dimming function requires a compatible dimming ballast or driver. Verify ballast compatibility before installation, as not all electronic T8 ballasts support LED lamps or dimming operation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with NEC requirements and local codes. De-energize the fixture and confirm the ballast is an electronic T8 type before inserting the lamp. Do not install in fixtures with magnetic ballasts or in enclosed luminaires not rated for LED tube lamps. When dimming is required, confirm the dimming ballast or driver is rated for LED T8 lamp loads before commissioning.
