What are the differences between T5 and T8 tubes

 1. Size difference

Now we mainly understand the difference between the T5 tube and the T8 tube from one aspect. First of all, the diameter of the T8 tube is 26mm, and the diameter of T5 tube is about 15mm. When consumers choose and buy, we should choose according to the size of the lamps at home. Larger lamps can choose t8, and smaller lamps should choose t5 lamps. The best way is to measure the size of the lamps at home, measure and record them before buying them. If you want to choose t5 lamps for t8 lamps, you can also choose a t5 lamp, but you need a conversion bracket.

2. Brightness difference

Compared with the two kinds of lamps in terms of brightness, the t8 lamp is stronger in brightness, which can also be said to be because the t5 lamp is smaller in size, so less electrons and inert gases are filled. The brightness generated when powered on is also small, so if you want a brighter light source, choose a t8 lamp, and if you need a darker light source, choose a T5 lamp.

3. Difference in energy saving

T8 lamps are lower in energy saving than t5 lamps, which is also related to the volume of the lamps. Since the t5 lamps are smaller in size, the gas is more likely to touch the tube wall and discharge. , so in the same lighting time, the t5 lamp needs less power. T5 lamps can save more than 40% of energy per unit time than t8 lamps. If you want to choose lamps with better energy-saving performance, choose t5 lamps.

4. Differences in environmental performance

The last is the difference between these two kinds of lamps in terms of environmental performance. Compared with the energy consumption of the rare earth trichromatic phosphors used in the t5 lamp, the t8 lamp can save about 20% to 30% of energy, then the t5 Lamps are more energy efficient and environmentally friendly than t8 lamps.
