Available in 2 ft and 4 ft, 6–18 W, 1,200–3,600 lm, 3000–6000 K and a 170° spread. Carden manufactures: wattage and color temperature are set per project within those ranges.

Where it's used
Corporate offices: direct replacement of T8 fluorescent tubes in recessed and surface fixtures already installed; the G13 lamp holder and the fixture are kept, so the work is done with no construction and with the space in operation.Schools and classrooms: technology upgrade in classrooms, labs and corridors that already have 2 and 4 ft T8 troffers; lets you standardize the color temperature per building (3000 to 6000 K, selectable when ordering).Clinics and general hospital areas: corridors, exam rooms, records and administrative areas with existing T8 fixtures; the 170° beam gives the even diffusion typical of a tube.Retail and big-box: general lighting for sales floors, store stockrooms and back rooms fitted with T8 troffers, without replacing the ceiling fixtures.Warehouses, workshops and light industrial facilities: rows of T8 tubes in shelving aisles, packing areas and workshops; the 4 ft length matches the standard pitch of linear fixtures already installed.The only T8 retrofit tube in the Carden Lighting portfolio.Family sibling: CL RTB (Retrofit Bulb, corn light with E26/E27/E39/E40 base), which handles lamp retrofits; CL RTT 9 handles linear tube retrofits.Compared with the complete linear families (CL LM, CL PL, CL TRF), this product is the way to go when the client keeps the fixture and only changes the light source.
Featured benefits
  • Installs in the fixture already on site; the G13 lamp holder is kept; no need to replace the equipment or work on the ceiling.
  • Two standard lengths (2 and 4 ft) that match the most common T8 troffers in offices, schools and stores.
  • Color temperature to choose from 3000 to 6000 K; the same model covers warm to cool light, so a whole building is standardized with the same fixture.
  • Wattage range from 6 to 18 W to match the light level to the area without changing families.
  • 170° diffusion: wide, even coverage typical of the tubular format.
  • Minimal construction with the space in operation; the change is made tube by tube, without taking the area out of service.
