New Technology Fluorescent Tubes

Did you ever figured out why the alpha numeric codes are being used for Fluorescent Tubes like T5, T8 and T12. Actually, the alpha numeric codes are being used for fluorescent tubes such as T5, T8 and T12 normally so as to represent the different specifications of tubes. 

Such codes specify any particular type and the specification of the tubes which is being designed for different output needs. T5 corresponds to five eighths of the tube inch in diameter and highest efficiency. T8 symbolizes eight eighths of the tube inch in diameter and it means higher efficiency while T12 represents twelve eighths of the tube inch in diameter also old and inefficient assumptions of efficiency.

Suppose if you intend to buy T8 Fluorescent Tubes for you house needs. It means that the T8 technology and the existing letter ‘T’ represent “Tubular” in the lighting industry while the digital numbers represent the size and width of the tubes in inches and the efficiency of the energy made pass through the electricity in the particular types of tubes. Thus, the people can use such fluorescents which are quite capable of saving the energy.
