Key specs: 600 mm length, G13 base, 8W power consumption, 800 lumens nominal output, 6500K color temperature (cool daylight), CRI around 70, instant full brightness, lifetime up to 15,000 hours, up to 50,000 switching cycles, mercury-free, and compatible with standard fluorescent fixtures.

Yes. It’s designed for easy retrofit in fixtures that use a G13 base. It’s compatible with standard fluorescent fixtures, but ensure your ballast type is suitable for a retrofit and follow safe electrical practices during installation.

First, power off the circuit. Open the fixture and remove the old fluorescent tube. With the power still off, insert the Philips Ecofit LEDtube into the end-caps until it sits securely. Close the fixture, restore power, and the tube should illuminate instantly without warm-up.

The tube is rated for up to 15,000 hours of operation, with support for up to 50,000 switching cycles, which helps reduce maintenance and replacement frequency in high-use environments.

It lights up instantly at full brightness as soon as power is applied.

It's well-suited for offices, retail spaces, kitchens, and other indoor environments where bright, cool daylight illumination is preferred for task visibility and a contemporary look.

It uses 8W versus typical fluorescent tubes that often consume 18–36W, delivering substantial energy savings and reduced running costs over its lifetime.

With a color temperature of 6500K, it emits a cool daylight tone that enhances clarity and focus. The CRI is around 70, which provides decent color rendering for most general lighting needs.

Yes. The tube is mercury-free and RoHS-compliant, making it safer for the environment and easier to dispose of. Always follow electrical safety guidelines when handling and installing lighting products.

6500K (765) is best for task-oriented spaces like offices or kitchens where bright, cool daylight aids productivity. If you prefer warmer ambiance, consider other Ecofit options in 3000K (warm) or 4000K (neutral white) variants to suit your space.
