Bright, Efficient Lighting for Every Space
Fluorescent tubes are a popular choice for Australian homes, garages, workshops, and commercial spaces due to their energy efficiency and long-lasting performance. At Mitre 10, we offer a complete selection of fluorescent tube lights to keep your spaces well-lit and productive.
Our range includes T5, T8, and T12 tubes, available in various lengths from compact 2-foot tubes to standard 4-foot and longer 8-foot options. Whether you're replacing an existing tube or upgrading your lighting system, we have options in different colour temperatures, including cool white for bright illumination and warm white for a softer glow.
We carry trusted brands like Philips, HPM, and Nelson, known for their reliability and quality. These manufacturers produce tubes designed to deliver consistent brightness throughout their lifespan, reducing the need for frequent replacements. When selecting your fluorescent tube, consider the wattage (14W to 58W), the tube diameter (indicated by the T-number), and the length that fits your fixture.
Fluorescent tubes are ideal for areas requiring broad, even lighting such as kitchens, laundry rooms, garages, and workshops. They're more energy-efficient than traditional incandescent bulbs and provide excellent light output for task-oriented spaces. Many of our tubes also offer good colour rendering, suitable for areas where accurate colour perception matters.
Frequently Asked Questions
What size fluorescent tube do I need?
The size you need depends on your existing light fitting. Measure the length of your current tube and check the diameter – T5 tubes are 16mm, T8 are 26mm, and T12 are 38mm. The fitting will determine which type works for your space.
Can I replace fluorescent tubes with LED alternatives?
Yes, many fixtures can accommodate LED tube replacements, offering greater energy savings and longer lifespans. However, you may need to bypass the ballast in your existing fixture. Check compatibility before purchasing or consult our lighting specialists in-store for guidance.
