Two good T12 bulbs

13 years ago

For anyone who's looking good t12, I'd highly recommend the Philips Alto soft white (3000K) and cool white (4100k) bulbs. They both output 3200 lumens,

I'm a big fan of the Philips 3000K T8 and when I came across these T12s in Home Depot yesterday I instantly decided I had to have them. I'm not sure if they're available in the ten packs though.

For anyone who's interested, the site I'm linking has the spectral output graph for the Philips 3000K T8 (Philips 830). I assume it's the same for the T12 version.

Here is a link that might be useful: fluorescent SOGs

Thanks for the info! I'm going to buy those tomorrow. I was looking for recommendations on bulbs and I bought some inexpensive ones, but different than the ones you posted.
