A 36-inch, 12-watt LED T5 tube for offices, retail spaces, and task areas, offering four selectable color temperatures and dimmable performance.

This Nuvo Lighting LED T5 lamp is designed for ballast bypass (Type B) installations, simplifying maintenance and boosting system reliability. The PET-coated frosted glass adds durability and safety while delivering smooth, consistent illumination. With four CCT options (3500K/4000K/5000K/6500K), you can tailor the ambiance from warm and inviting to crisp and energizing at installation.
