What are standard fluorescent bulb sizes?
While there are multiple types of LED and fluorescent tube lights, the three most common are T12, T8 and T5. The terminology comes from “T” for “tubular” and the diameter of the bulb in eighths of an inch, so “T8” represents a tube of 8/8ths of an inch, or 1 inch.
Is an F40 bulb a T8 or T12?
A T12 is 12/8ths of an inch, or 1.5″ in diameter. A T5 is 5/8″ in diameter. All F32 and F40 lamps are essentially 4 foot long lamps (47″ if you don’t count the pins). The FR71T12 is actually a 71″ long x 1.5″ diameter lamp that can handle from 80-120w and is typically run at 100w.
Are fluorescent lamps being phased out?
The UK began phasing out the sale of higher-energy halogen lightbulbs in 2018. In addition, the government also plans to start phasing out the sale of high-energy fluorescent lightbulbs, with a view to bringing an end to their sale from September 2023.
Are T12 bulbs being discontinued?
In effect since July 2012, the legislation eliminates nearly all 4-foot T12 lamps, some 4-foot T8 lamps, most 8-foot T12 lamps, and almost all standard halogen PAR38, PAR30 and PAR20 lamps from the market. T12 technology is over 80 years old. Since that time, lamps and bulbs have been developed that just work better.
Can I still buy fluorescent tubes?
While the discontinued products may no longer be manufactured, they can still be sold until existing supplies are gone. In the meantime, consumers are likely to pay a premium for the lamps themselves, but also more in utility costs because these technologies use more energy.
What is the difference between T8 and T12 fluorescent bulbs?
The main difference between T8 and T12 tubes is the tube’s diameter. T12 tubes are 1.5″ in diameter while T8s are just one inch. All other things—socket sizes, lengths, distance between pins—are the same. T8 LED tubes won’t fall out if you try to install them in a T12 fixture—they’ll fit just fine.
