Cut lighting energy consumption by 22% without sacrificing workspace illumination. This Sylvania OCTRON? 800 XP SUPERSAVER ECOLOGIC lamp delivers 2,500 initial lumens at only 25 watts, replacing standard 32-watt T8 lamps with identical light output for immediate utility cost reduction.
Traditional fluorescent tubes waste energy and incur frequent replacement costs in commercial settings with daily on/off cycles. Their shorter rated life under rapid switching leads to ongoing maintenance expenses and disruptive bulb changes. You need a solution engineered for both efficiency and longevity that matches your facility’s specific operational pattern.
This lamp’s dual-start technology provides a direct answer. For spaces with long burn times—such as warehouses, hospitals, or 24-hour facilities—the programmed rapid start option extends average rated life to 42,000 hours at 12-hour cycles. For standard office environments with shorter occupancy, the instant start mode still delivers 40,000 hours at 12-hour cycles, significantly outlasting conventional lamps. This tailored approach ensures maximum lifespan based on your actual usage, not a generic rating.
The 4,100 Kelvin color temperature produces a cool, white light that enhances alertness and visual acuity in task-oriented environments like offices, retail floors, and classrooms. A Color Rendering Index (CRI) of 85 guarantees accurate color representation, critical for settings where color discrimination matters—such as graphic design studios, fabric stores, or quality control stations. The T8 shape with a medium bi-pin base provides seamless drop-in compatibility with existing T8 fixtures, requiring no fixture modifications or additional hardware for installation.
Physical specifications confirm its robust design for commercial durability. Each lamp measures 48 inches in nominal length, with precise dimensions of 4.09 inches long, 0.65 inches wide, and 0.51 inches in diameter. The case of 30 lamps weighs 13.5 pounds total, simplifying bulk handling and storage. The ordering abbreviation FO32/25W/841/XP/SS/ECO3 identifies this exact model for easy reordering, while the ECOLOGIC designation confirms it meets environmental standards for reduced mercury content and recyclability.
Consider the total cost of ownership. At $386.64 per case of 30, the per-lamp price is $12.88. Compared to a 32-watt lamp burning 12 hours daily, each 25-watt lamp saves approximately 7 watts. Over a year (4,380 hours), that’s 30.66 kWh saved per lamp. At a national average electricity cost of $0.12 per kWh, one lamp reduces annual energy expense by $3.68. For the full case, that’s $110.40 in first-year savings alone, before factoring in the doubled lifespan that slashes replacement labor and material costs over time.
Deploy these lamps in any setting requiring reliable, efficient, and high-quality illumination. Their performance profile is ideal for corporate offices seeking LEED certification points, retail environments where product colors must pop, and healthcare facilities where consistent, shadow-minimizing light supports patient care. The combination of instant or rapid start flexibility means you optimize the lamp for your building’s unique schedule—whether that’s 24/7 operations or a 9-to-5 office—without compromising on light quality or fixture compatibility.
Choose the Sylvania OCTRON? 800 XP SUPERSAVER ECOLOGIC for a quantifiable return on investment. The specification sheet doesn’t just list a single lifespan; it provides four distinct ratings based on start type and burn cycle, empowering you to make an informed, data-driven decision. This isn’t a one-size-fits-all bulb—it’s a precision tool for energy managers and facility planners who demand exact numbers: 2,500 initial lumens, 85 CRI, 4,100K, and up to 42,000 hours of service.
