Breakdown of Specifications:
- T8: This refers to the diameter of the tube. T8 is a common tube size that has a 1-inch (25.4mm) diameter. T8 tubes are widely used in commercial and industrial lighting.
- G13: This indicates the type of socket or fitting for the tube. G13 is the standard two-pin (single-contact) base used for T8 fluorescent tubes and some LED tube replacements. These pins are 13mm apart.
- PIR (Passive Infrared): This refers to the motion-sensing technology integrated into the tube. PIR sensors detect motion and automatically turn the light on or off depending on whether someone is present in the room. This feature is useful for energy-saving in spaces where the light doesn’t need to be on all the time, like hallways or bathrooms.
- 30/100%: This likely refers to the brightness control. Some PIR tubes allow you to set the light to turn on at a lower brightness (30%) and then increase to full brightness (100%) once motion is detected. This is another energy-saving feature, as it reduces the amount of light consumed when no one is around.
- 9W: This is the power consumption of the tube. At 9 watts, this tube is energy-efficient and would typically replace a traditional 18W or 20W fluorescent tube while providing similar light output.
- DW (Daylight White): This indicates the color temperature of the light, which is typically around 5000K-6500K. Daylight white gives off a bright, cool light similar to daylight, which is ideal for spaces requiring high visibility like offices, kitchens, or workspaces.
- 2 END: This indicates that the tube has 2 pins (one at each end), which is typical for T8 tubes.
- Minimum 10 units: This suggests that the supplier requires you to order a minimum of 10 units of this tube.
Common Uses:
- Office lighting, corridor lighting, or workshop lighting, where motion sensor technology helps save energy.
- Public buildings such as schools, hospitals, or restrooms, where lights can automatically turn off when not in use.
- Warehouses and industrial environments, where PIR sensors help reduce electricity consumption by automatically controlling the lighting.
Benefits:
- Energy-efficient: The 9W tube uses less power than traditional fluorescent tubes, saving on electricity costs.
- Automatic switching: The PIR sensor ensures the tube lights up only when movement is detected, further reducing unnecessary energy consumption.
- Daylight White (DW): Ideal for environments that require bright, clear lighting, such as offices or areas where high visibility is important.
