What the T8 Tube Strip is for
A made-to-order tube and strip range for propagation benches, seedling shelving and inter-row greenhouse work. The waterproof T8 (LH-RT8N) runs from 0.6m to 1.5m in single and double diode rows, 13W to 50W per tube, and length, wattage and spectrum are all specified per facility rather than picked from a catalogue. IP65 sealed, and designed to daisy-chain into continuous runs.
What you get
- Built to your rack, not to a catalogue. Length, wattage and spectrum are all specified per order.
- 0.6m: 13W single row, 26W double row.
- 1.0-1.2m: 22W single row, 36W double row.
- 1.5m: 36W single row, 50W double row.
- Two profiles: flat RT8N (32 × 35.5 mm) or round RT8W (Ø26 mm), same lengths and power.
- Sanan / Epistar SMD2835 or SMD3030 diodes; AC 85-270V or AC 185-240V input; -20 to 50°C operating range.
- IP65 rated — specified for propagation benches and greenhouse environments where water is routine.
- Plug-and-play end connectors for daisy-chaining tubes into continuous runs across a shelf.
- Extruded aluminium and flame-retardant PC housing for heat dissipation in tight, enclosed shelving.

Before you spec it
What is this range actually for?
Propagation and low-intensity supplemental work — seedling trays, clone domes, tissue-culture shelving, inter-row lighting in a greenhouse. It is not a canopy fixture. For a multi-tier production rack, the DS120S bar is the right tool.
How do I specify a run?
Give us the shelf length, the number of tiers, the crop and the intensity you want at tray level. We come back with tube length, wattage, row configuration and the number of tubes per run.
Can I get a custom spectrum?
Yes — spectrum is one of the tailored parameters on this range, unlike the fixed-spectrum top lights.
Why are there no PPF or efficacy figures on this page?
Because output depends on the configuration you order, and we would rather quote your build than publish a number that does not apply to it. Ask for the photometric data with your configuration and we will provide it.
