What is the difference between T5, T8, and T12 fluorescent tubes?

T5, T8, and T12 refer to the diameter of the fluorescent tube. T5 tubes are the thinnest at 5/8 inch, T8 tubes are 1 inch in diameter, and T12 tubes are the largest at 1.5 inches. T5 and T8 tubes are generally more energy-efficient and provide better light output than T12 tubes, which are being phased out in many regions.

How long do fluorescent tubes typically last?

The lifespan of fluorescent tubes can vary depending on usage and quality, but most tubes last between 10,000 to 20,000 hours. This translates to about 2-4 years of continuous use. However, frequent on/off switching can reduce their lifespan. Some high-quality fluorescent tubes may last up to 30,000 hours or more.

Are fluorescent tubes environmentally friendly?

Fluorescent tubes are more energy-efficient than traditional incandescent bulbs, consuming less electricity and lasting longer. However, they contain small amounts of mercury, which requires proper disposal. Many regions have recycling programs for fluorescent tubes to minimize environmental impact. When disposing of fluorescent tubes, it's important to follow local guidelines and use designated recycling facilities.
