How to identify T2 Tube

T means tubular and 2 represents a nominal diameter of two eighths of an inch, or approximately one-quarter inch. T2 systems use miniature connectors that vary by product family.

Common applications

Under-cabinet lighting, shelf lighting, display cases, compact architectural details and specialized linear luminaires.

Technologies and base options

T2 fluorescent lamps were produced in multiple lengths and wattages with dedicated electronic control gear and miniature connector systems.

Technologies represented in this library: Fluorescent.

Available base types: W4.3×8.5d.

Typical market availability

Technology Common wattage range Typical lumen range Common colour temperatures Common voltage options
FLUORESCENT 6–21 W 300–1800 lm 2700K, 3000K, 3500K, 4000K, 6500K Electronic ballast-operated

These are representative market ranges, not guaranteed limits. Availability varies by manufacturer, voltage, base, beam, region and product generation.

How to select the correct lamp

Read the complete lamp and fixture codes. Match length, wattage, connector, ballast specification and colour designation rather than relying only on tube diameter.

Compatibility and safety

T2 systems are highly product-specific and may have limited replacement availability. Similar miniature tubes and connectors are not automatically interchangeable.

Important: The library describes a lamp format, not a particular product. A shared shape does not guarantee matching voltage, base, dimensions, light distribution or control-gear requirements. Confirm the fixture label and product datasheet, or ask a Bulb World lighting specialist.

Replacement Notes

Read the complete lamp and fixture codes. Match length, wattage, connector, ballast specification and colour designation rather than relying only on tube diameter.
