About Replacing Tubular Fluorescent Light Bulbs

Hang these lights where you need them on the job site.

Styles A-E come with LEDs that last longer, are more efficient, and generate less heat than other light technologies. They produce a cool light that highlights white/blue tones, which is good for inspecting. The LEDs in Styles A, B, C, and E are built-in, while Style D come with a replaceable LED bulb. All have an impact-resistant plastic lens to protect the LEDs.

Bi-Pin Base Tubular Light Bulbs

Brightness is measured in lumens; the higher the lumens, the brighter the bulb. Color rendering index (CRI) is a measurement on a scale of 0-100 of how accurately the light from a bulb represents an object's true colors; the higher the number, the more natural the colors appear. Any CRI value over 80 will show colors true to life. Bulbs with a warm light appearance have yellow tones. Bulbs with a neutral light appearance are often used in workspaces. Bulbs with a cool or daylight appearance have white/blue tones and are good for inspecting. A bulb’s estimated yearly cost is based on 3 hours of usage per day at $0.11 per kWh.

LED bulbs last longer and are more efficient than fluorescent bulbs. They generate little heat and withstand vibration. Plastic bulbs are shatterproof. Socket-ready bulbs work with most instant-start electronic ballasts, but not all. For a full list of compatible ballasts select a part number and view product detail. Ballast bypass bulbs eliminate the need for a ballast so the socket must be wired directly to the power source.Plastic-coated glass bulbs are shatter resistant; the coating retains glass shards if they break.

Single-Pin Base Tubular Light Bulbs

Brightness is measured in lumens; the higher the lumens, the brighter the bulb. Color rendering index (CRI) is a measurement on a scale of 0-100 of how accurately the light from a bulb represents an object's true colors; the higher the number, the more natural the colors appear. Any CRI value over 80 will show colors true to life. Bulbs with a warm light appearance have yellow tones. Bulbs with a neutral light appearance are often used in workspaces. Bulbs with a cool light appearance have white/blue tones and are good for inspecting. A bulb’s estimated yearly cost is based on 3 hours of usage per day at $0.11 per kWh.

LED bulbs last longer and are more efficient than fluorescent bulbs. They generate little heat and withstand vibration. To install, bypass the ballast by wiring the socket directly to the power source. Plastic-coated glass bulbs are shatter resistant; the coating retains glass shards if they break.
