Replacement 9" F6T5 LED Tube for Fluorescent Fixtures
Product Description
This is our new replacement LED tube for replacing your existing 9" (8.91") DC fluorescent tubes inside your boat's existing fixtures. This lamp outperforms the standard F6T5 6W tube and draws less than 0.27 Amps at 12VDC!
Choose this bulb if you have an existing 12VDC or 24VDC fluorescent tube fixture which uses one or more 9" (22cm) fluorescent F6T5 tubes. These bulbs feature our Constant-Current chipset, so work on either 12VDC or 24VDC (10-30VDC range).
The bulb features 48 SMD type 3528 format LEDs in an aluminum heat transfer tube, and are sealed with a clear polycarbonate lens. They are brighter than an 6W fluorescent, they last much longer, and don't attract insects like the UV-producing fluorescents do.
Output Color: Natural White (Fluorescent White) 6150°k color temp. or Warm White 3,000°k color temp. The Natural White is designed to look exactly like a natural color fluorescent and is brighter than the Warm White. The Warm White has better color rendering, and is similar to a warm compact fluorescent color.
Voltage: 10-30VDC
Wattage: 3W
Amperage (12V): 0.27 Amp
Luminous Flux: 410 Lumens NW
Beam Angle: 120°
Dimensions: 22.5mm x 8.5mm

NOTE: These LED bulbs have our built-in constant-current driver already installed, but they do not require the high-voltage ballast that is in your current fluorescent fixture. While the bulbs drop right into your fixture, your existing fixture will require a slight modification, which involves bypassing the fixture's existing ballast. It is a simple modification requiring nothing more than a wire-cutter and some butt-connectors. Click HERE for instruction sheet.
If you don't wish to modify your existing fixture, or if your existing fixture is old and crummy looking, we offer several styles of economical fixtures pre-configured for use with our tubes. See below.
