Plusrite FL24-T5-835-HO 24W T5 Mini Bi-Pin Fluorescent Lamp

Keep Your Fixtures Running Bright with the Plusrite T5 Fluorescent Lamp

The FL24-T5-835-HO from Plusrite is a 24 watt T5 mini bi-pin fluorescent lamp designed to replace linear fluorescent tubes in existing fixtures. It is suitable for commercial and residential general lighting. Key features include a 3500K color temperature for a warm white glow and an 85 CRI (Color Rendering Index) rating.

Key Features and Benefits of This T5 Lamp

A rated life of 20,000 hours matters because it reduces how often maintenance crews need to access fixtures, especially in hard to reach commercial ceilings. Delivering about 2000 lumens at 24 watts gives reasonable output for the wattage, useful for retrofitting older, less efficient T5 or T8 fixtures.

Where to Use the FL24-T5-835-HO Lamp

This lamp suits under cabinet lighting, display cases, and general fixtures built for T5 mini bi-pin tubes in offices, retail spaces, and homes. It is a replacement lamp only and requires a fixture with a compatible G5 socket and ballast, not a standalone fixture.

Installation and Compatibility Checks

Confirm your fixture uses a G5 mini bi-pin socket and a ballast rated for 24 watt T5 HO (High Output) lamps before purchasing, since mismatched ballasts can shorten lamp life or prevent proper operation. This lamp is not designed for dimming circuits unless the ballast specifically supports it.

Additional Buying Context

At 22.2 inches long, the FL24-T5-835-HO is a direct replacement option for existing T5 fixtures reaching end of life, helping buyers avoid a full fixture swap. Its 3500K color temperature pairs well with spaces already lit by similar warm white lamps for consistent appearance.
