Achieve consistent, daylight-balanced illumination while drastically reducing energy consumption and long-term maintenance costs in commercial environments.
Traditional fluorescent tubes degrade quickly, produce inconsistent color, and require frequent replacement—driving up operational expenses and disrupting workflow. The Sylvania OCTRON 800 XP ECOLOGIC delivers a precise 5000 Kelvin light temperature with high color rendering (CRI 85) to enhance visual acuity and color accuracy, while its advanced phosphor coating and robust design extend service life significantly beyond standard tubes.
- Energy-efficient 32W operation produces 3000 initial lumens (2820 mean lumens), providing high light output with lower electrical draw than many competing T8 lamps, directly reducing kWh consumption and utility costs.
- Exceptional rated life—up to 42,000 hours when used with a programmed rapid start ballast at 12-hour cycles—minimizes replacement frequency and labor expenses in continuously operated facilities like offices, hospitals, and retail spaces.
- Instant or rapid start compatibility offers flexibility; however, the programmed rapid start option maximizes lifespan by reducing cathode stress during ignition, a critical factor for applications with fewer daily switches.
- T8 shape with medium bi-pin base ensures drop-in replacement for existing standard T8 fixtures without requiring new ballasts or hardware, simplifying upgrades and eliminating retrofitting costs.
- High CRI of 85 renders colors accurately and vibrantly, essential for tasks requiring color discrimination—such as in clothing boutiques, design studios, or medical treatment rooms—improving task performance and aesthetic quality.
- ECOLOGIC design meets modern environmental standards for reduced mercury content and full recyclability, supporting sustainability goals and compliance with regulations for commercial and institutional buildings.
- Case of 30 lamps (SKU: XG965) provides a cost-effective bulk supply for contractors and facilities managers; each lamp ships in a compact box (4.04″ L x 0.48″ W x 0.63″ H) with a total case weight of 12.02 lbs, optimizing storage and logistics.
- Ordering abbreviation FO32/850/XP/ECO3 allows for precise, error-free reordering, ensuring continuity in large-scale projects and maintenance programs.
This lamp is engineered for environments where reliability, consistent color quality, and total cost of ownership are paramount. Its 48-inch nominal length fits standard commercial luminaires, while the 5000K color temperature promotes alertness and focus in workspaces. The mean lumen maintenance of 94% (2820/3000) ensures stable light output over its lifetime, preventing the dimming and color shift common in lesser fluorescent tubes.
For facility planners, the extended life ratings—24,000 hours at 3-hour cycles with instant start, and 40,000–42,000 hours with programmed rapid start—allow for tailored ballast selection based on switching patterns, further protecting your investment. The combination of instant start for quick on-demand lighting and the option for rapid start to maximize longevity provides unmatched adaptability across diverse applications, from 24/7 manufacturing floors to schools with intermittent occupancy.
Each lamp undergoes rigorous quality control to meet Sylvania’s OCTRON performance standards, ensuring you receive a product that delivers exactly as specified. The case quantity and consistent packaging streamline procurement for large installations, while the detailed specifications—including exact dimensions and weight—facilitate accurate planning for shipping, storage, and fixture compatibility.
Choose the Sylvania OCTRON 800 XP ECOLOGIC for a lighting solution that pays for itself through energy savings, reduced labor, and dependable performance. It is the clear choice for professionals who demand precision, efficiency, and long-term value from every component in their lighting system.
