Replace 32W Circular Fluorescent Tubes With LED
Circular fluorescent tubes are a common light source found in oyster lights. This LED replacement from Philips allows you to upgrade to LED without replacing your entire light fitting.
- Reduce total energy consumption and running costs by about 50%.
- Lasts up to six times longer than conventional T9 circular 32W fluoro tubes.
- Install it yourself - no electrician is required in most cases.
- Available in two colour temperatures to suit your needs.
Choose between 4000K (cool white) and 6500K (cool daylight).
This circular LED tube uses a G10q connector with four connecting pins, as shown in the image gallery. It's about 30cm in diameter and 3cm thick (referred to as a 'T9'). If your round fluoro tube is a different size or has another connector, you may need to upgrade the whole light fitting. See our range of LED oyster lights for options.
Circular LED Tube Installation Guide
There are two main types of existing circular fluorescent light fittings:
1) Magnetic Ballast - With Starters. These are the most common fitting type. Simply replace the tube and starter (supplied), and you're done. These magnetic ballast fittings are identifiable by the fact they have starters present.
Installation is easy for any fitting with a starter.
2) Electronic Ballast - No Starters. Unlike the example shown above, these fittings do not have a starter. These units will usually require an electrician to 'wire out' the existing high-frequency electronic ballast before you can install the circular LED tube.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does it come with a starter?
Yes - don't forget to check the packaging for the starter once received.
The packaging also includes a sticker that you can place inside your light fitting. It shows that an LED (not fluorescent) tube is in use.
Note: Make sure to remove the original starter. The included starter is specific to LED circular lights. It simply takes the spot where the old starter would be, but makes no electrical connection.
What other options are available?
This is the only circular LED tube that we stock. If you have a different type of round fluorescent tube that you are seeking to upgrade, check out our oyster lights instead. We also sell a wide range of linear LED tubes.
