Osram FO32/835/XPS/ECO3 T8 Fluorescent Lamp 32W

Product Description

The OSRAM FO32/835/XPS/ECO3 is a 32-watt T8 linear fluorescent lamp built to the Octron XPS 800 extended performance specification with rare earth phosphor technology. Rated at 3,100 initial lumens at 77 degrees F with a color temperature of 3500 K and a Color Rendering Index of 85, this lamp delivers consistent neutral-white light suited to demanding commercial and institutional environments. The medium bi-pin base and nominal 48-inch length fit standard T8 fluorescent fixtures. Lead-free glass construction and a rated lumen maintenance of 94 percent through lamp life distinguish it from standard T8 offerings. Licensed electricians and lighting maintenance technicians typically handle installation in commercial settings.

This lamp is designed for high-use commercial and institutional applications including hospitals, industrial facilities, offices, retail spaces, and schools. It performs on both instant-start and programmed rapid-start ballast circuits, with rated lamp life ranging from 24,000 hours at 3-hour instant-start cycling up to 42,000 hours at 12-hour programmed rapid-start cycling. That extended life range makes it a practical choice for facilities where relamping labor costs are a significant budget factor and consistent light output is required across large fixture inventories.

Key Features

• 32 watts, 3,100 initial lumens at 77 degrees F for strong light output per watt
• 3500 K neutral-white color temperature with CRI 85 for accurate color rendering
• Up to 42,000-hour rated life on 12-hour programmed rapid-start circuits
• 94 percent lumen maintenance over rated lamp life
• Compatible with instant-start and programmed rapid-start ballast types
• Lead-free glass construction

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement for standard T8 medium bi-pin fluorescent fixtures accepting 48-inch linear lamps. Suitable for use in hospitals, industrial facilities, offices, retail environments, and schools. Alternate catalog reference FO32835XPSECO3 (IDEA catalog number 21697).

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with applicable NEC requirements and local codes. Always de-energize the fixture and verify voltage is absent before handling or replacing lamps. Confirm ballast type — instant-start or programmed rapid-start — before installation, as ballast compatibility directly affects rated lamp life. Do not handle lamp glass with bare hands; residual oils can create hot spots and reduce lamp life.
