- 3500K Warm White Color Temperature: Provides a comfortable, neutral white light ideal for office spaces, retail environments, and healthcare facilities, promoting visual acuity and occupant comfort without the clinical feel of cooler temperatures.
- T8 Shape with Medium Bi-Pin Base: Ensures drop-in compatibility with standard T8 fluorescent fixtures and ballasts, requiring no costly retrofits or special adapters for immediate installation.
- 83 Color Rendering Index (CRI): Accurately renders colors and skin tones for applications where visual judgment is critical, such as retail merchandising, design studios, and diagnostic workspaces.
- Instant Start or Rapid Start Compatibility: Offers flexible installation; use with instant start ballasts for maximum energy efficiency or programmed rapid start ballasts to achieve the full 42,000-hour life rating and minimize electrode wear.
- Lumen Maintenance of 2445 Mean Lumens: Maintains over 94% of its initial light output throughout its life, ensuring consistent, bright illumination that doesn’t dim noticeably over time, protecting your space’s aesthetic and safety standards.
- 48″ Nominal Length & Case of 30: The standard 4-foot length fits ubiquitous fixtures, while the case quantity provides a full inventory for large-scale projects, maintenance depots, or multi-location businesses, simplifying procurement and storage.
Engineered with Sylvania’s advanced ECOLOGIC mercury reduction technology, this lamp meets or exceeds environmental regulations while delivering robust performance. The robust construction and precise phosphor coating are specified to withstand the thermal stresses of rapid starting, directly contributing to the extended service life. With a case weight of 12.95 lbs and compact package dimensions (4.09″ L x 0.64″ W x 0.51″ H per lamp), shipping and handling are optimized for logistical efficiency.
For facility managers, electrical contractors, and procurement specialists, the total cost of ownership is the decisive metric. This lamp’s combination of low 28W wattage, high lumen output, and industry-leading life ratings—up to 42,000 hours—dramatically lowers the lifetime costs of energy, maintenance labor, and lamp disposal compared to standard T8 or older T12 alternatives. The FO28/835/XV/SS/ECO ordering abbreviation ensures precise specification compliance, eliminating ordering errors. Specify this Sylvania OCTRON 800 XV lamp for any new construction, retrofit, or maintenance project where predictable performance, energy cost control, and minimal maintenance overhead are non-negotiable requirements.
