Who makes T8 fluorescent lamps?
Table 2 lists the manufacturers of 4-foot, 32-watt T8 lamps included in this publication and their contact information. Lamps intended for specific applications (such as aquariums, deli cases, etc.) were not considered. Only lamps with efficacies above 80 lumens per watt (as calculated from manufacturers’ data) were included in this publication. Nearly all of the T8 lamps discussed in this publication comply with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure (TCLP), which is a protocol designed to limit the amount of hazardous materials entering the environment, such as the mercury found in fluorescent lamps. The only lamp included in this publication that is not TCLP-compliant is the one RE90 lamp available in the market.
