What size is the fluorescent tube? Can replacement tubes be ordered in cool white?

Hi, I just climbed up, took off the diffuser, and wrote down this information from the bulb: F13T5/3000K. I didn't take the bulb out, so I'm not sure precisely, but it's about 20 inches long, give or take half an inch. It is 1 inch thick. I also pulled out the instruction sheet. The instructions say "See the label on the fixture for replacement bulb type information. Do not replace with any other wattage of fluorescent bulb." So, you'd have to get the same wattage bulb (13 watts). They didn't specify that it has to be warm white, so I'd guess that you can probably go with cool white. I see online that there are such bulbs: F13T5/CW. If you want to double-check, you can contact GE or Jasco Products, which is the manufacturer: www.jascoproducts.com. I hope that this helps! By the way, in reading through the tiny print in the instructions, I see that this fixture is NOT supposed to be used over a sink, which is exactly where I put mine! However, my fixture is at least 4 feet over the sink, so I hope that it's fine this way. I've had it for almost a year now.

The answers below are correct. You should probably call GE if you need more specific answers.

The replacement tube is an F13 (T5/WW) - 13 watt - 21" - available at most hardware/home supply stores. Sorry, do not know if available in cool white.

You can replace the bulbs with these fluorescent tubes, it's what worked best for me. Hope it helps! (Case of 10) F32T8/SP41 Linear Fluorescent 32-Watt T8 FO32 741 Light Bulb 48"

For people who are accustomed to tube-lights, these are still yellow bulbs. You need to be looking for 'daylight' bulbs if you want 'white' bulbs

Packaging says "Bright White". Compared to fluorescent it is much closer to cool than warm.

The bulbs I have are 32W bulbs. I don't see a "T" number. they are the shorter of the standard flurescent tubes. If you want, I'll measure them and get more numbers. Hope this helps.

Steve, I really don't know. Always a pain to identify the right one. Seems like every Fluorescent fixture in the house uses a different ballast.

You want a 15 inch fluorescent tube. What people are probably getting confused on is that the 15 inch tube is rated at 18 watts. Well, that is if we are talking Exo terra bulbs as well. I actually made the mistake myself. I saw a 5.0 bulb, saw the number 18 thinking watts... But it was inches, and it was too big. I now have 2x 2.0 bulbs at 15 inches that fit in my 17.7 inch dual canopy from Exo terra.

Type E. The Ottlite brand is here: OttLite T1333E 13-Watt HD Electronic Ballast Replacement Tube or you can get a cheaper one here: Sunlite PL13/SP65K 13-Watt Compact Fluorescent Plug-In 2-Pin Light Bulb, 6500K Color I'm using the cheaper one right now. It does work with this lamp. There are different colors. I ordered "Daylight", but there's also Super White, Cool White, Soft White, etc.

Verilux 36915 - CFS26GU24VLX Compact Fluorescent Daylight Full Spectrum Light Bulb is what I bought when I discovered one of my lights broke over the summer.

I think that there is only one size; I have purchased several of the tubes and they are all the same size. I would not purchase a tube that does not have a size listed. Can you get a more "up close" picture so that you can see the size on the tube? Carol

WLED-xHP15-TAC: 194 LED Bulb - 15 SMD LED Wedge Base Tower WLED-CWHP15-TAC: Cool White is what I order. I get the from superbrightleds .com They are great to work with. I originally emailed them to make sure these would work. They told me they would. I was doubtful but they DID work and I have been ordering them each time we add a light. Some have been working over a year.

Can't answer precisely because I don't have the specs on your existing tubes. These are 3000k color temperature which is warm white not the garish blue white of higher color temps. Light output should be the same...they are both 32 watt.

4 footers are the ones I bought...they're more than adequate though it's apparent they were not the heavier duty ones that we were accustomed to using of over the last few decades...and they take the "thinner" fluorescent tubes that I like much better than the larger diameter ones. and those newer tubes are available with a high degree of daylight illumination.... each tube is about 9 bucks locally.

To be specific: Fluorescent with a standard screw-in bulb base. 45 watt, 110-130v. Daylight(5500K) color spectrum. Each "light" has 4 lamps. Can find similar at the hardware store, but mine(Home Depot) does not carry this specific wattage/color combination. I already tried after I broke one. I needed to get a replacement from a specialty lighting store.
