T12 vs T8 vs T5 ... Are We Playing Bingo?t12 vs t8 vs t5 is this our grandparents bingo
But of Course, Bingo doesn't have the T, so we must be talking about lighting.
While the T has no place on bingo night with our grandparents, the old T12 lighting will have no part in the discussion of energy efficiency or even fluorescent lighting in general.
The old T12 technology is likely what it lighting the bingo hall right now! (.....someone needs to talk to them about efficiency!)
But just like the old bingo halls, T-12's are disappearing. After 2012, they will no longer be manufactured. In fact, most of the utility rebate programs are eliminating the incentives for T-12 replacement very soon. So....what do you do now?
Understanding The "T"?
Quite simply, "T" is the diameter of the tube in the lamp. A T12 bulb will have a diameter of 12/8". (1 1/2" for those of you who prefer the simplest form) That would then make the T8 smaller, and the T5 smaller yet. Typically the more narrow the lamp, the more efficient it will be.
