G5 socket

Are you looking for a thick tube? Then take a look at our T8 tubes. These have a G13 fitting where the pins are 13 mm apart.
Safe use
Because mercury is used in fluorescent tubes, we are regularly asked whether breaking them could have consequences for the health of people in the area. When a fluorescent tube breaks, it is important to ventilate the room for 30 minutes. Clean up the shards, preferably with gloves, and place them in a sealed garbage bag. You dispose of this bag with the chemical waste. If you do this when breaking a pipe, it will have no effect on your health.
