Description
A 36-inch, 12-watt T5 LED tube for offices, retail spaces, and task lighting, offering dual-mode Type A+B installation and a natural white 5000K light.
This Nuvo Lighting LED T5 tube is a direct replacement for traditional fluorescent T5 lamps, engineered for maximum installation flexibility. It works with existing ballasts (Type A) or can be wired for ballast-bypass (Type B), simplifying maintenance and improving energy savings. The PET-coated frosted glass provides shatter resistance without sacrificing light quality, making it a safe choice for commercial and residential spaces.
Best for
- Office ceilings and workstations needing bright, natural light for focus and accuracy
- Retail display areas where color clarity and even illumination matter
- Warehouses and utility spaces requiring durable, shatter-resistant lighting
- Task lighting under cabinets or in workshops
- Enclosed fixtures rated for damp locations, such as covered patios or garages
Not ideal for
- Residential living rooms or bedrooms where warm, cozy light is preferred
- Spaces with incompatible ballasts if you prefer not to rewire for Type B operation
- Outdoor locations exposed to direct rain or standing water
How bright is it?
1620 lumens - about as bright as a 21-watt fluorescent tube, ideal for task and general lighting in commercial or utility settings, but not a primary light for large open areas.
Light color and feel
5000K natural light - a crisp, daylight-like tone that enhances focus and visibility. With an 80+ CRI, colors appear natural, suitable for retail and office environments. Dimmable with compatible reverse-phase dimmers at 120V.
Sizing and fit
Measures 33.94 inches long and 0.62 inches in diameter, fitting standard T5 fixtures. Weighs just 0.22 lbs, easy to handle during installation.
