GE 10086 F13T5/CW 13W T5 Fluorescent Tube

The GE 10086 F13T5/CW is a 13-watt T5 fluorescent tube designed to deliver efficient, cool white illumination in compact fixture applications. At 21 inches long with a miniature bi-pin base, it slots into standard T5 fixtures commonly found in under-cabinet installations, desk lamps, and display case lighting. The tube outputs 850 lumens at a color temperature of 4100K, producing a neutral white light that works well for reading, task work, and general-purpose illumination in kitchens, workshops, and offices.

With a CRI of 60, this tube is best suited for environments where raw brightness and energy efficiency matter more than precise color rendering. It draws only 13 watts while delivering a respectable lumen output, making it a cost-effective choice for fixtures that see extended daily use. As with all fluorescent tubes, it requires a compatible ballast in the fixture and should be disposed of through proper recycling channels due to its mercury content. For those maintaining existing T5 fixture setups, the GE 10086 provides a dependable, readily available replacement option.
