How can you claim it replaces 80W Fluorescent (2x40W 4ft T-12 tubes) when the product brochure clearly states the 24 watt model replaces a SINGLE 40w

The second page of the brochure was updated in Dec 2013 due to the direct comparison to Fluorescent performance. https://app.box.com/s/gn93fk3r9n32dzkpqblo. The new brochure page 2 image was uploaded to Amazon, but for some reason is not propagating. The LED lights are DIRECTIONAL compared to fluorescent, which is OMNIDIRECTIONAL. This means that all the lumens of the LEDs are going downward in a 120 degree beam, compared to fluorescent, which has more than 1/2 of the lamp lumens in an upward and sideward direction. The reflectors of most shop lights are not efficient in "bouncing" the light properly and many fixture lumens are as much as 50% less than the lamp lumens (fixture efficiency~40-60%). The LED fixture efficiency is 100%, as indicated on the LM79 test report. Also, fluorescents are optimal at 75degrees F and will drop as much as 20% with a 10 degree variation in ambient temperature, and will drop as much as 60% or more at freezing. The LED will maintain its efficacy throughout a wider operating temperature range, and in fact thrives in colder temperatures. As you stated in your "review", the light is as bright as 2x the single 40W fluorescent. That is why the brochure was updated and the claim is made.

The product brochure is not very well written. The product itself produces much more light, at a much more appealing color temperature, than our old twin-tube fluorescent light ever did, especially as the tubes aged. If you are so concerned with product claim numbers, go measure the difference yourself.

I see your confusion, but yes these are 4' (48") bulbs. The shipping size as the actual size is slightly less than a full 48". The wattage, 54W, is the same as all other 48" T5HO bulbs. 24" high output bulbs use 24W per bulb while the 48" normal output bulbs use 28W. Plus a google search of FLT5464 in the name pulls up multiple other websites also saying they are 4'. Just make sure your fixture is high output.

US water systems has a Polaris equivalent bulb for 1/3 of the Watts replacement. l spent a lot of time to find this out. They are identical.

That I don't know. That tube was specific for the lamp I had, which I do not have anymore. I also can't say about the wattage. Sorry I can not be more help.

Yes :) All you need are two fluorescent tube bulbs. I'd really recommend that you use these fluorescent tubes. It worked best for me in terms of lighting (that is, if you want your light to be bright but also very pleasing for the eyes) and this bulb, specifically, is really durable and energy efficient. Hope it helps! (Case of 10) F32T8/SP41 Linear Fluorescent 32-Watt T8 FO32 741 Light Bulb 48"

I have bought several of these for my kitchen lighting, same as original, box states as does bulb, that they are 75W. And I have no reason to think there not. Been very satisfied with this hard to find replacement.

We have 100W Replacement-Uses Only 27W. Use in Fluorex, Sunlight Fixtures for Bell&Howell; Solarex Floor lamp. We have had this lam for several years and is great in providing natural light.

My husband installed it and he said he put regular size in it, 70 watts if you can't figure it out, take the light to lowes or walmart and ask them. Or it might be on the box or instructions somewhere

I remember just being very careful by holding the two bulbs securely and then pulling straight out (the pair of tubes are attached if I remember correctly.) I still have my old one, but I replaced it with the new model and haven't tried the old one again. It works fine though. It's a great light. I am very pleased with both of them. Good luck to you. You can do it!!! It's a great desk light -- BOTH of them are.

I have these lamps from a few years ago and had a hard time finding replacement bulbs. I ended up just buying regular lightbulbs that fit, but stuck way too far out and did not work well. The specs listed say "30 Watt 5000K Daylight Balance Compact Fluorescent Photo Light Bulbs" which can be bought on Amazon here: http://www.amazon.com/CowboyStudio-Daylight-Balanced-Fluorescent-Bulb/dp/B001MLBK0U/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1394214764&sr=8-2&keywords=30+Watt+5000K+Daylight+Balance+Compact+Fluorescent+Photo+Light+Bulbs But if it's saying 45W on what you have, then I guess the specs above are wrong! They do have 45W here: http://www.amazon.com/CowboyStudio-Fluorescent-Daylight-Temperature-Photography/dp/B004LONG0W/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1394215030&sr=8-2&keywords=45+Watt+5000K+Daylight+Balance+Compact+Fluorescent+Photo+Light+Bulbs

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.

have 2 - 1 for a 40w and the other for 80w bulbs. Think the spec requires 30w min load.

I thought the same thing. The unit is only 44 W. The picture is a different unit. I run a 20 w spot lamp and 5 4w lamps

Good question. I would contact LampsPlus directly. They are very helpful and carry this product.

The lamp sent to me requires 40W Medium Base Type A bulb. No way will an E12 40 watt bulb fit into the socket in the lamp sent to me.

All I can tell you is I have a fourtrax 300 it called for 12 v 25w/25w/ . I removed the standard bulbs and installed these bulbs with nothing else and they have been working perfectly for over two years . ( Direct exchange )
