SlimLite T5 Fluorescent Tubular Lights
Hera Lighting section index
T5 Fluorescent Light Fixtures with integrated connecting system
Description: The SlimLite XL T5 size is brighter and more compact than Standard T12 size fluorescent lights you would commonly see in commerical applications as hanging or drop down lights. The T5 lamps are available in warm white or cool white, and do come prepackaged in the fixtures. Replacement lamps are available separately. The Plexiglas cover that comes standard with each fixture make the SlimLite XL ideal for food applications. You have 5 lengths to choose from, all of which can be mixed and matched to fit best in your application. Lights can connect end to end with the use of a direct connector (SDC/XL), or spaced apart and able to turn corners with various length connecting cables. You can have one light per power cord or hardwire box, or quite a few lights strung together for much longer runs of light.
BUT: On closeout. Quantities remaining listed below. When all gone, the ELite-LED and ELite-LED XL will be your substitute lights. And there is a special EL/LED/46/4000/XL/HO/ND1 only in the 46" size. That light is brighter and attractively priced.
Product Features:

- WERE Available in five lengths: 1' (12-7/8"); 2' (23-1/8"); 3' (34-7/8"); 4' (46-3/4"); and 5' (58-7/16")
- Quantities remaining are shown with each part number lower on the page
- Energy efficient at 8 watts, 14 watts, 21 watts, 28 watts, and 35 watts respectively for lengths above

- We supply the lights as: fixture with bulb and cover (that is what the BC means in the part numbers)

- Good CRI > 80
- Fixtures can interconnect with direct connectors or connecting cables for short to long runs

Ordering Note:
When selecting the lights below, add your first choice to the shopping cart, then when in the cart, select continue shopping to come back to this page to continue to add other length lights, bulbs, or accessory options.
NOTE: 5-24-21, is when it finally happened. Hera did say in the Spring of 2021 that the T5 SlimLites would be discontinued. We have started listing quantities remaining below. We can swap bulbs on some from CW to WW, and vice versa until bulbs run out too. As stock trickles down to nothing, we are referring customers to these two web pages: ELite-LED T5 lights | ELite-LED XL T5 lights. The XL version has the same connection ends as the SlimLite XL T5 lights.

The ES34BC/CW and WW, ES46BC/CW and WW, and ES59BC/CW and WW lights are no longer shown above. These three sizes are completely gone. Please refer to our links to the ELite-LED XL for your best substitute lights. The ELite-LED XL is now available in cool white and warm white both.
Ordering Notes:
Lights are packaged individually and will come with metal mounting clips. No cables or cords come with the lights. Those are all purchased separately. Needed accessory items are shown next. We are selling off the remainder of the SlimLites. Most customers will be purchasing them as replacement lights for existing SlimLites. For new light systems that are basically the same, but LED instead of Fluorescent, please go to our ELite-LED page.
The connecting cables will allow you to turn corners and shift levels for the next light in the continuation of your string of lights. SlimLite XL offers many advantages in how you can layout your design. It is excellent for both home and commercial uses.
There are technically four ways to control the on/off function of your lights: a) use the SHWC/XL hardwire box or SPC/XL power cord and have a wall switch control that circuit or outlet. b) Use the SPC/S/XL power cord with in-line roll switch. c) use the SHWC/S/XL hardwire box with built in on/off switch. or d) use the SRS/XL and either a direct connector(s) or connecting cable(s) in-line to control the entire line from the placement of that switch down line. The SRS/XL switch is similar to a light with an input end and output end. So it requires the aid of a direct connector or cable to connect to other components in your line of lights.
If you have questions, we are here to help.
And again, the fluorescent SlimLites are discontinued. We are showing quatities of fixtures and extra bulbs that we have left in stock. If you are looking to set up a NEW linear lighting system, we strongly suggest using the ELite-LED lights. Avaiilable in the same 5 lengths, and in warm white and cool white. The ELite-LED is the light designed to take over for the Hera SlimLite T5.

In the spec diagrams above, the overall light height (or dropdown since most are mounted to the underside of a surface) is 1-5/16". The width of the light with the Plexiglas shield on is 29/32" (just under 15/16"). Bulb diameters are 5/8". So A, B, and C in the exploded parts diagram just refer to the fixture measurements. D represents the Plexiglas shield, and E is the tube or bulb. We like calling it a bulb.
The maximum watts in a single line (string of lights) is 585 watts. That would be 16 of the 59" lights together max per power cord or hardwire box - and that is a lot. In home use, you would never have that many. In commercial uses, that would not be uncommon to have 80 feet of continuous shelfing. When you need to go further than 80 feet, you set up a second line. Discounts available for larger orders for commercial applications. Contact us with your needs. This goes for all lights from Hera. We will discount huge orders.
