EiKO F6T5/CW – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size is the EiKO F6T5/CW lamp, and will it fit a 9 inch fixture socket spacing?
The F6T5/CW measures 9.02 inches (229 mm) maximum overall length and 0.63 inch (16 mm) maximum overall diameter, which is the standard T5 miniature bipin tube size. Measure pin tip to pin tip in your fixture against that 229 mm figure before ordering, since T5 preheat lamps are length specific and a longer 8W or 13W tube will not seat in the same lampholders.
2) Does the EiKO F6T5/CW use a G5 base?
Yes, it is a G5 miniature bipin base, the two pin end common to T5 fluorescent tubes. Any fixture with G5 lampholders will accept the pins, but the lamp also has to match the ballast wattage (6W) and the 229 mm length.
3) Will a 6W T5 preheat lamp work on my existing fluorescent ballast?
The F6T5/CW is a preheat lamp, so it runs on a preheat/starter type circuit or a ballast rated for a 6W T5 preheat tube. It is not a rapid start or instant start lamp and it is not a drop in for electronic T5HO systems. If your fixture has a starter can, this is the right family of lamp.
4) What color does 4100K cool white look like next to the other tubes in my building?
4100K cool white is the neutral, slightly blue-leaning white common in offices, corridors and equipment cabinets. It will not match a 3000K or 3500K warm tube or a 5000K daylight tube in the same sightline, so if you are relamping a row of fixtures, do the whole row. CRI is 60, typical of a halophosphor cool white, so color rendering is adequate for utility and display case lighting rather than color critical work.
5) How much light does a 6W T5 fluorescent tube actually put out?
295 initial lumens, dropping to about 235 mean lumens over life. That is task and accent level output, the kind used in under cabinet strips, display cases, signage and equipment panels, not general room lighting. Rated life is 7,500 hours.
6) Does the EiKO F6T5/CW contain mercury, and how do I handle disposal?
It contains 2.75 mg of mercury in amalgam form and is IMERC and TCLP compliant. TCLP compliant means it passes the EPA leachate test, but facilities still commonly recycle spent fluorescent lamps through a lamp recycler under their own waste program. It is exempt from California Title 20.
7) Is the EiKO F6T5/CW DLC listed or Energy Star qualified for a utility rebate?
No. The 6W T5 fluorescent lamp is not Energy Star qualified and carries neither DLC Standard nor DLC Premium status, so it will not support a rebate program that requires those listings. If a rebate is driving the job, you are looking at an LED retrofit rather than a replacement fluorescent tube.
8) What part number do I order for the EiKO 6W cool white T5?
Order EiKO F6T5/CW. That single designation covers the 6W, 4100K cool white, G5 base T5 lamp; there are no finish or length options to specify.
