Nuvo Lighting S19961 15W T5 LED Tube 48in | 3500K Neutral White, Type A+B, PET Coated | Office & Retail Linear Lighting | 1900 Lumens | Model S19961

A 15-watt, 48-inch T5 LED tube for offices, retail spaces, and task lighting, with a warm 3500K neutral white light and dual-mode Type A+B installation.

This Nuvo Lighting LED T5 lamp replaces traditional fluorescent T5 tubes with modern efficiency and flexibility. The dual-mode Type A+B operation lets you install it directly with existing ballasts or convert to ballast-bypass for simplified maintenance and energy savings. The PET-coated frosted glass adds shatter resistance without compromising light quality, making it a reliable choice for commercial and residential spaces.

Best for

• Office workstations and cubicles needing a comfortable, neutral light for focus
• Retail stores and showrooms where a warm, inviting atmosphere is desired
• Warehouses and storage areas requiring durable, shatter-resistant lighting
• Task lighting over workbenches, desks, or craft tables
• Enclosed fixtures, as this lamp is rated for enclosed use

Not ideal for

• Wet or outdoor locations - this lamp is rated for damp locations only
• Spaces needing a cool, daylight-like light - 3500K is a warm neutral white
• Direct replacement in fixtures with non-compatible ballasts without bypass conversion

How bright is it?

1900 lumens - roughly equivalent to a 28-watt fluorescent T5, providing sufficient light for task and general lighting in medium-sized areas. It's bright enough for focused work but not overpowering for ambient use.

Light color and feel

3500K neutral white - a soft, warm white that creates a comfortable and inviting atmosphere. It's less harsh than cooler whites, making it ideal for offices, retail, and spaces where a relaxed yet productive environment is desired. With a CRI of 80+, colors appear natural and vibrant.

Sizing and fit

This tube measures 45.75 inches in length and 0.62 inches in diameter, fitting standard T5 fixtures with G5 miniature bi-pin bases. It's a direct replacement for 4-foot fluorescent T5 lamps, so it fits existing troffers, strip lights, and under-cabinet fixtures designed for that size.
