GE Lighting 48" 32 Watts Linear Fluorescent Lamp, T8, Medium Bi-Pin (G13), 2910 Lumens, 5000K Bulb Color Temp.

Shatter-resistant linear light bulbs have a surface coating that keeps broken glass, mercury, and phosphors contained if the bulbs burst or break. This prevents safety hazards by keeping the contaminants from spreading into the surrounding area. These straight, tube-shaped bulbs have bases on both ends and are installed in light fixtures to provide general area lighting in manufacturing plants, food-processing facilities, and other environments where product contamination must be avoided. Shatter-resistant linear light bulbs are also used in areas where the light bulbs may be exposed to shaking or impacts, such as railway systems and freight elevators.
