G E Lighting 66830 32W T8 Daylight Fluorescent Tube 48in

Product Description

The G E LIGHTING 66830 is a 32-watt T8 fluorescent linear tube designed for general-purpose commercial and residential lighting applications. Sold as a 2-pack under the manufacturer designation F32T8/LR/2PK, it delivers 2,900 lumens at a 6,500 Kelvin daylight color temperature, making it well suited for task-critical environments where accurate color rendering matters. The tube carries a CRI of 80 and a rated lamp life of 20,000 hours. It terminates in a G13 medium bi-pin base and measures 48 inches in nominal length. This tube is TCLP compliant, meeting toxicity characteristic leaching procedure standards for responsible disposal.

This lamp is intended for T8 fluorescent fixture systems in commercial, industrial, and institutional settings such as offices, warehouses, schools, retail spaces, and garages. The daylight color temperature is commonly specified in environments where workers need high visual acuity — drafting, inspection, food preparation, and similar tasks. Electricians and lighting maintenance technicians are the primary installers. The 2-pack packaging suits both initial installations and scheduled relamping programs where minimizing service call frequency is a priority.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with NEC requirements and local electrical codes. De-energize the fixture and allow the existing lamp to cool before handling. Fluorescent tubes are fragile — avoid contact with the tube surface during installation and dispose of spent lamps per applicable local regulations governing mercury-containing lamps. Do not install in fixtures rated for T12 tubes without verifying ballast compatibility.
