8W T5 fluorescent tube with a G5 bi-pin base, producing 420 lumens of 4000K Cool White illumination. The Eurolux G39 combines a compact 16mm diameter with efficient linear light output, making it ideal for under-cabinet lighting, display cabinets, emergency lighting, task lighting, cupboards, and compatible miniature T5 fluorescent fittings.
What it is
The T5 8W G5 Fluorescent Lamp is a compact linear fluorescent tube designed for smaller lighting fittings where space is limited and efficient, evenly distributed illumination is required.
Its T5 construction measures 16mm in diameter, while the G5 bi-pin base provides connection to compatible miniature fluorescent lamp holders. The G39 measures approximately 303mm in overall length, placing it within the compact T5 fluorescent family.
Producing 420 lumens from only 8W, the lamp provides practical linear illumination with a 4000K Cool White colour temperature. Its CRI ≥85 provides good colour rendering, making it suitable for task, display, cabinet, and utility lighting applications.
The lamp requires compatible 8W fluorescent control gear and should not be connected directly to the 220–240V mains supply.
